lieve he is good. He don't want to
be good. As long as a man wants
to be good he lacks that element of
being a hypocrite. You don't know
what a hypocrite is. If you had
more sense you would get along bet
ter. Ifyou've got a good solid charac
ter it will take care of your reputa

character and a bad reputation will
improve on acquaintance. He had
had some solace along this line
