A BACKWARD LOOiC AND A FORWARD STEP Associate Reformed Presbyterian, Do cember 21, 1921. At this season of the year practically all business men are taking stock of their, business enterprises to determine their profits and losses. In fact, the successful man in every walk of life should often take an inventory, not only of his material possesions. findinsr out whether his as sets are equal to or greater than his liabilities but he should make an hon est examination as to his growth anc development in the spiritual life. On retrospection many find theii highest hopes and most worthy ambitions have not been realized eithei in temporal or spiritual things.
