ING OF LAZARUS. John 11:32-44.
WHAT IS TROUBLE?
Verse 32.-lf thou hadst been here.
This chapter gives q little peep in
to the home of Chirsts dearest
friends. The disciples were more like
professional and business friends.
But these were heart friends. A pros
porous family, Matt. 2G:6-S. That
ointment was worth $500, owned
their own house. Had many friends.
Was Lazarus that rich young ruler
of Mark 10:17-22, as tradition sayst
Was Simon, the leper, Martha's hus-
band? This home was Christ's home
when in Jerusalem, why then, did
he allow death and sorrow to enter
it?" | don't know, George. Is
death trouble? When Christ dwells
in home nowadays Is sorrow barred
out? Suppose Christians really and
truly believed what they profess to
believe when dear one goes to
glory, would there be sorrow or re-
joicing? Note what Christ said in
John 4:1,2. Christ always comes
when he Is sent for. This time 1t
meant death to him as per verses
and l6. Note the "if." Mary, like
all of us. II so-and-so had not done
that you would not have done this.
Never whine. Never cry over spilled
milk. Never run an excuse factory.
Thinking OF what might have been

tomorrow, and thy present sorrow
will lie down and rest" Best always
yet to come for the Christian.
THE UNNECESSARY QUESTION.
Verse 34.--iWhere have We laid him?
Is 1t so that this Is the only place
In Scripture where Christ ever asked
for information? or course he knew
the place. There are situations in
life where one must say something,
and the unnecessary question Is an
easy way out. Did you ever mash
your finger with a hammer, and as
you danced with pain your mother
said, Johnny, dear. does 1t hurt?"

OF our Saviour comes out stronger
in this chapter than anywhere else.
He groans in spirit in verse 80, asks
the unnecessary question in verse "a

HARPER, November o. Your
scribe attended the sale of the
late DZ Martins personal property
last Saturday at the old home place
near Trio. There were on the ground
nearly 200 eager buyers and the
property sold at fancy prices. This
speaks we'll for the two executors,
Messrs N L Boyd and J M Tisdale,
and also for the drawing powe:: Of a
notice in The COUNTY RECORD.
Mr. Fred W Harper of Kingstree
has been spending several weeks
here selling lots in the vicinity of
Harpers. Nearly 1000 acres In and
around the corporate limits have
been sold by Mr. Edwin Harper
within the last 80 days. Mr
Harper is still selling and transfers
of real estate are of daily occurrence.
We feel that our present town
council should be proud of the fact
that on account of the drainage
done by them last winter the town
has been made perfectly healthy
and home seekers have been there
by attracted here. Some good people
from North Carolina have bought
real estate IN town and will make
Harpers their future home. Thus
we have boys from other States who
have been attracted here and there
is room for many more and warm
welcome awaiting all good citizens
who decide 10 come amongst us.
We are glad that MIR Harper saw
fit to turn loose his property here,
as it has started substantial growth
to our town and We believe it will
eventuate in lasting good for our
community.
Our town is working now in the
right direction. Watch Harper!
She will be the town of thrift and
progress.
