'Wv Harman died at his home at Weldon Sunday morning, of "malarial fevery and his body arrived here, Monday and on Tuesday morning was laid to rest in the cemetery beside his wife, who died in Weldon and Jwas I brought here and buried about two years ago. The funeral services were? held in the Baptist church and were conducted by Rev. C. B. Justice. , - H ' '. Mr. Harman was at the time of his death pastor of the Baptist church at Weldon. He was one of the most prom inent ministers of his defiomination in this State and had held some of the most important pastorates, f among . them Wadrsboro, Marion and Monroe. He was married in ' to Miss M. A. Logan, daughter of the late Judge G.W. Logan. She died about two years ago. He was about 45 years of age and leaves hree daughters who have the sympa thy of friends throughout the State, f The funeral sermon by Rev. C. B. Justice was.one of his finest efforts. The opening hymn was, i -'Servant of God, Well Done;" the text "He Gfveth His Beloved Sleep." . One who heard this beautiful and touching discourse gives us the following synopsis; v Adam was the first sleeper, and from that slumber sprang1 a woman, a help mate and the mother of a world. Jacob slept when tired out by his flight from iirs persecutors, and although there was only a stone for his' pillow, yet in his dreams he saw heaven, and angels de-' scending and ascending the ladder, and thej influence of that dream altered, Ja cob's career and changed the destiny of his people. Joseph slept and in his .boy ish dreams he saw himself and his bro thers in the harvest field and . his own s sheaf stood erect and all the others wor shipped it. His jealous brothers cast him into a pit and then sold him away, but the influence-of that dream was felt from the depths of that pit and the grief stricken father's heart, .through Egyp tian prison cells to courts of .kings and then in royal garb and jewels tare he came to the throne itself and in his God given wisdom he githered from the plains and harvest fields of all that country the sustenance which 6hould save Egypt and eed his own father and his household. . God gives lis mighty! slumber that we may awake at the - dawning, refreshed and strengthened for the' duties of anoth er day. . This all of temporal sleep, but there is a sleep that God calla sleep and rest but man calls death. Our friends lie down! on beds of -pain and sickness and we watch the monster death tread out the laskdlm spark of life -'-the eye grows dim,' the pulse feeble,the brow clammy, arvl with a quiver the asf breath is breached and we say that they are dead.4 God says 'he is not dead but sleepeth.' ' . ,'.:'! "-.. .!: Asieep in Jesua, blessed sleep. From which none ever wake to weep. ; A calm and undisturbed repose, Unbroken by the last of foes." i . -i . God giveth his beloved sleep, some times, because they can say : ''Father I have finished the work which thou . gav- . est me to do," and sometimes because they are weary and worn-and the way has been rough and the desert" thorny; and in his mercy God's voice is saying through the mists of despondency, the noise of persecution and the pains 6f af fliction, "Child, your Father calls, come home." ' , - . - The work. is not always done- because the laborer sleeps : ) Thp, , machimst sleeps, but the engine he built goes thun dering through the night, and the Bhip plows the ocean while jthe mechanic that built it i&es asleep in the far off hills. Tired and dusty the gardener seeks his humble home at nighttall and soon is fast asleep but the buds of the roses are bursting into bloom and the .flowers he tended all day long are wide awake to meet the dew. cTrop as it falls The husbandman toils all the day and when night comes ha falls asleep to rest, but the seed he has sown will germinate while he sleeps and thei stars will watch the plants grow and the flowers bloom and the fruit mature and ripen and the works of his hand will the workman slumbers grpw 'on while So is it witft the sleep of death. More than eighteen hundred years ago Christ finished His work as a wayfarer on earth and God gave him sleep, yet down the ages, to the sons of men, come his- promises, as faith ful. as fresh and as precious today as when they fell from His sacred lips. Paul slept when his head fell from the block by the city's gate, but oh! the tired spirits that turn to the epistles written by him,' for strengthj-the bereft who build their hopes of meeting lost ones on his doctrine of the resurrection the faint hearts that take courage when they re member the faith he loved and lived, ' St. John sleeps with his fathers, yet creeds and doctrines, philosophy and learning fade away before that faith that he trusted like an infant trusts a moth er's guiding hand. il. " ' We cannot know-r-per haps the ange that brought the message will never know why our brother who lies so eold and still before us today was called from his field ahd his flock prist when his work seemed prospering' in bis hands and the hearts ot his people were drawn to him nearer and nearer: day after day. God knows. Perhaps brother Harman knows May be the glorious light that pervades the city of the. New Jerusalem will show him. Maybe, whpnte' greets the wife of his boiom, who' has gone before, be side the river of the water of life, they win know why she has not been kept in waiting long but to us it is all a 6iys- Man makes mistakes; God never jloet and now he has called our brother! a'wa y and left his body to slumber in the cold, clay cradle of the grave until thi earth and the sea give up their dead, ma those who mourn be enabled to say in haimble faith: "The Lord giveth and thq Lord taketh away, blessed be the namefof the Lord." . : .

Not a. few times have these messengers of the Lord appeared, in the substantial ex pressions of their own sweet sympathy, and also with the tokens of the "Good Shepherd's" j watchful care, guardian love, and gracious providence. r These blessed testimonials, repeated from time to time,' were true indicators of the spirit that abides and works1 in the followers of Him who went about doing good, and which reached a culminating point in a united and generous outburst of christian benevolenca on the evening of January 18th, when to our great'snrprise we were suddenly, set upon (and most, graciously and liberally pounded with a supply of good things that minister both to our temporal and spiritual necessities". ' These messengers' of the King appear ed at our threshold, with smiling faces, happy hearts, and willing hands, bearing with them the commodities whiqh meet our necessities and minister to oirrf com fort..

There is no American, living or dead North or South, who stood nearer the hearts jof the people, or whose memory is held with more sacred affection, than General Robert E. Lee. All on this side of the wiped-out but never-to-be-f or gotten "line" feel that they know him but there is still much of his history and that of his family and his ancestors that has never yet been told.. On this account The Democrat is pleased' to note the an nouncement of Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly regarding the series of notable Lee papers that begin in the February issue. The .first is " The Ancestors of General Robert L. Lee and the Times in Which They JLived, " by Mrs. Jndge Roger A4 Pryor, of New York. The whole series, beginning .with the earli est colonial times down to the present date, will be enriched with numerous portraits and illustrations of special in terest, heretofore unprinted, and a large speaking likeness in water colors of Gen eral Lee. Altogether these articles will form a valuable addition to the history of the great men of the nation. , Henn Pontei anativelof Switzerland, and an electricjanjin the employ of the NewYork firm that installed theelectrio hghtmg plant ats jBiltmore House, met death Friday afternoon bylsuffocation in the chamber surrounding the gasoUne tank at the Vahderbilt mansion. - The Asheville Citizen1 iays hq.had been dead some time when found.
