_Secretary Women's Auxiliary Conference, Boston, Mass._ * * * * * The news of Miss Ellis's departure from among us filled us all with grief and regret; and yet we feel she is so sure to continue her good work there, that we ought not to _regret_. What a delightful awakening for her when, with no feeling of weakness or pain, she opens her eyes to find herself surrounded by those who have gone before, whose lives she had gladdened here, and to learn that part of her mission there is to meet and welcome her host of friends, personal and parochial, as they follow her over there! How many people will miss her here! Ten times one is ten. Their number cannot be estimated. MISS F. LE BARON, _Sec. Western Women's Unitarian Conf., Chicago, Ill._ * * * * * I want to express my great sympathy for you and your Society in the loss of your friend Miss Ellis. Although I knew she had been an invalid for a long time, the news of her death was a great shock to me. She has been so kind in helping me to get started in the Post Office Mission, and made me feel so truly that she stood ready to help always, that I cannot but feel that I have in her death lost a good friend, which must be the case with many others all over the country. She has left us all the memory of a brave example, which ought to fill us with the desire to carry on the good work by her begun, more faithfully than ever. MISS ELLEN M. GOULD, _Sec. Post Office Mission Committee, Davenport, Ia._ * * * * * I have just heard of the death of Miss Ellis. How great a loss it is to all of us, but how great a _gain_ to all of us that she has lived, and illustrated the possibilities of a life lived under even so many limitations as hedged her about! Will you not send me a sketch of her life and work for the next number of the "Unitarian"? MISS ELIZA R. SUNDERLAND, _Assistant Editor "Unitarian," Chicago, Ill._ * * * * *
