REPUTATION,

IL would be better II character and
reputation were used distlnctively. 10
truth, character is what person is;
reputation is what he is supposed TO
be. Character is ia himself reputa.
tion is in the minds of others. Char
acter is injured by tempa tions, and by
wrong.doing; reputation, by Islander
and libels. Character endures thru
out defamation in every form, but per-
ishes when there is voluntary trans
gression; reputation may last throug h
numerous transgressions, but be de-
stroyed by single, and even an un-
founded accusation or Inspiration.
