Miss Harriet Newell Millet, who pass
ed 70 har eternal rest from Good Will
Camn. South Athol, Mass, June 18th,
was woman of remarkable character
and ability and has had unique career.
Born in North Leeds seventy-six years
ago. she passed the greater part of her
life up to the age of forty-eight years in
semi-invalidism. AT that time she was
wonderfully healed in answer to prayer
and the next year she sailed for India In
COMPANY with Miss Mary E. French, the
present house Good Will Camp.
Miss Millett had been rejected as mis-
sionary by one of the large missionary
societies on the ground OF i'll health. Her
characteristic reply on learning OF their
decision was: Il am afraid you have not
faith enough" She felt sure she was
called to foreign missionary work and
when an opening came for her to go to
India in connection with the faith work
of DR.. Charles Cullis of Boston in 1883,
she accepted the call and went. The ex-
traordinary work she accomplished in
India proved that she was really called
of God to go to that country and that her
healing was a true miracle. For nearly
| ten years she labored as an evangelist,
travelling over twenty-five thousand
miles in India, up and down and through
that country on the backs of elephants
and camels, borne on the shoulders of
men, riding in pony tongas and bullock
carts, sailing in vessels from port to
port, travelling over deserts in railway
trains, ETC., etc, preaching the Gospel
with acceptance and blessed results wher-
ever she went. Many hundreds of souls
We're won to Jesus by her labors and
many persons were healed in answer to
her prayers. Since her return to this
country, in 1893, Miss Millett has labored
as missionary and evangelist, chiefly in
her native State, until about three years
ago, when severe illness laid her aside.
Since her recovery she has been an active
member of the Baptist church in Belfast,
Me-, president of the W. c. T. U. in that
city, and ever ready to assist in any good
work as opportunity presented itself and
her strength permitted. On the second
inst, accompanied by her friend, Mrs.
H. A. Carter, with whom she has made
her home in Belfast for the past twelve
years, she arrived at Good Will Camp,
where she intended spending the month
eagerness to her stay in South Athol,
anticipating much physical benefit from
the change of air from the coast of Maine
and much pleasure in the companionship
of her friend. On the 9Th, Sunday night,
she was taken i'll; on Tuesday, signs of
pneumonia having developed, DR.. Swain
of Athol and Miss Sumner, the Fresh Air
Camp nurse from Boston, were sent for
and every attention possible was given
her. She was unable, however, to rally,
and on Saturday evening about eleven
o'clock she quietly fell asleep. One of
the last things she said to her friend
was, ga little while and we shall all live
again" She was Of bright, cheerful
disposition and in the few days she spent
at Good Will Camp she endeared herself
to all the members of the family. Miss
Millett leaves two brothers, and sister
in North Leeds, Me. Undertaken Hal
bert took charge of her remains, a
nephew in Somerville assuming the care
of having the body removed to her old
home in North Leeds for burial. One of
Miss Millett's chief characteristics was
praise and no one could be long in her
company without hearing her express
aloud her love and gratitude TO God in
happy "Halelujahs "-Athol, Mass,
