A SOM INvENroRY-

In these times of business depression,
when wise men are employing their
leisure TO find where they stand com
mercially, they could not employ some
Of It better than In making an annual soul
inventory. How a man stands toward his
fellow man is important; how he stands
toward God is supreme 1t Is the
question of life
This question comes to every man. It
is no matter whether he is saint ora
sinner, believer OF an iufdel; be can
not escape some sort of consideration of,
and some sort Of answer to, that question.
He cannot stolidly ignore IL. for it pursues
him even in his dreams. When he forces
It away from him in the daily whirl Of
business cares, or in the dissipating dis
traction Of ceaseless pleasure seeking, IL
perches itself. like the raven, on his
pillow-forevermore
He should not escape It, He has no
higher duty than to answer the question
Of all questions, aud thus be true to
himself, honest with his fellowmen and
reverential to his Creator.
Il is necessary, manly, noble, to answer
the question. But he cannot do that
without an inventory. He must reckon
the sum Of his assets and determine how
far, If at all, it exceeds his liabilities
II the reckoning is not satisfactory he
must do precisely as the business man
does, make an assignment, settle, and
start again with more sense and sounder
principles. He has not exercised care
or expended energy in the soul business.
He has either neglected it or lacked
ambition to pursue 1t. No mans bust.
ness will fail OF itself He forces It to
fail by neglect or imprudence. It is the
same with the soul No mans soul will
fail unless he forces it to fail, for the
world is full of sweetness and light
more than enough to keep it pure and
lovely.

to degree that reflects credit upon
both. Mr.. Salisbury by energy, skill and
fine natural ability has become one of the
most eminent counselors at the bar His
practice is large aud his clientage is such
as TO put him Ia touch with the most
sctive men in the most important enter
prises in Delaware. The families Of both
are old and honorable. The members Of
both have been honored and honorable
Tor many generations in Delaware Thus,
in every respect, the match seems as ft-
