Instead of the Gospel of Christ, Romish priests teach the efficacy of Sacraments, the Authority of the Church, the Worship of Mary and the Saints, and the power of the Priest. The Religion they impart is a mixture of Christianity and Paganism, the latter predominating through an external and half heathenish ritual, which keeps the convert back in the old darkness, and leaves him without the soul-cleansing light ot the Redeemer. While crediting the Catholic priests with the greatest enterprise and devotion in many of their missions, it must be said that then present undertaking in the Gilbert Islands, in endeavoring to destroy the victory gained by Protestant missionaries, after forty years of pioneer labor, is a most unworthy one. The Roman Catholics have waited for thirty-five years until those 30,000 ferocious savages have been taught and trained in the rudiments of civilization and Christianity, and the painful and dangerous part of the work is completed. They have waited until British governors have disarmed and pacified the unruly savage remnant. Now when all is safe and peaceful, and danger is at an end, these French priests intrude in strong force to wrest for their church the fruits of the forty years toil and peril of Protestants ! They do not come there as friends to help on the Gospel, and further the good work begun. Their corps of capable and self-sacrificing Sisters might render immense aid in that way. But they come as avowed enemies, with deadly hostility to the Protestant religion, which is absolutely prohibited and suppressed to this day in every country where Catholic priests control the Government. That apostate church of Rome has never known any compromise or coopeiation with other Christians who deny the authority of the Roman Church and Pope. It is their persistent, deadly, unrelenting enemy. Will this always continue so? As long as this relentlessly hostile attitude of Rome lasts, Gospel Christians and missionaries can only labor and pray in an attitude ol defense against this formidable enemy who claims to be God's vicegerent on earth. We would like to live in amity with these priests, many whom are pious and amiable men. But they are slaves to an over-mastering system of spiritual usurpation which forbids them to treat us as other than foes. God will set this all right in His own good time. �THE FRIEND 66 Mrs. Juliette Montague Cooke. 11l Mtinoiiiiin In the preparation of this ai tide, espe- cial aid has been received from memorial papers prepared for the Woman's Board by Mrs. Mary S. Rice, and by Mrs. L. B. Coan. The subject of this memorial was surpassed by few of the many most choice and noble women of the Hawaiian Mis sionary circle either in mental ability and culture, in personal refinement and social gifts, or in the more essential qualities of deeply sanctified piety, and devotion to the work of winning and upbuilding souls in Christ Jesus. It may also be said that no other woman so deeply identified herself with Hawaiian history as this capable and greatly be loved and influential educator of six of those young royal chiefs who afterwards sat upon the throne of Hawaii. To the profound and lasting influence which she exercised upon their very peculiar dispo sitions and characters, may largely be attributed such moderation ofconduct as enabled them to maintain in successful operation a native monarchy for so long a period under the severe and pressing exigencies of modern commercial enterprise, in close contact with which all other aboriginal monarchies have speedily crumbled. Mrs. Cooke is thus to be reckoned a historical person of no small prominence in the annals ofHawaii. Juliette Montague was of the highest quality of New Rngland rural lineage. She was born in Sundsrland, Mass. March 10, 181-J. "She was a bright, active, happy girl, fond of her books, her companions, and of the flowers, wild woods and hills of beautiful Sunderland, but always ready for work." She grew up one of the alert, skillful, capable New England women. By the death of her father in her sixteenth year, deprived of aid in her education, she successfully made her own way in securing special advantages in a yonng ladies academy in Amherst. She then taught the chief school in the home villege, of pupils ran ging from two and a halfyears to twentyseven. Her rich voice was prominent in the village choir. She publicly professed her laith in Christ in 18,13. Miss Montague's attention early became strongly directed to Christ's call to carry His Gospel to heathen lands. In Nov. 24,1836, she was united in marriage to Mr. Amos S. Cooke of New York City, then under appointment as an Assistant missionary to the Hawaiian Islands. They sailed from Boston, Dec. I I, 1536, in the Mary Fritz.nr, as members of that large and famous "reinforcement." Arriving at Honolulu in I Ifi days, Mr. and Mrs. Cooke were selected by the Mission out of the eight couples of Ttachers, as the pair most suitable to take charge of the education of the children of the royal chiefs, whose need of competent government and instruction their parents felt to be urgent. The selection made proved to be justified by the later results. Mr. and Mrs. Cooke gradually entered upon their arduous task. They organized a Family School for the Royal children, which continued until 1H49, when the maturing years of nearly all the pupils brought that special work to an end. The present writer is not in possession iif the materials for any adequate account ot the very difficult and trying, but skillful and successful work clone by Mr. and Mrs. Cooke in disciplining and training the wild and high spirited young natures thus entrusted to them. The very remarkable Hawaiian chief John Ii with his wife were made the Kuliits, or personal guardians of the royal children, and lived with Mr. and Mrs. Cooke in the large family. Mrs. Rice, who arrived live years later in 1841, writes. "I sometimes saw her in the school ot young chiefs, noticed the skill with which she framed pretty bonnets for the girls, instructing them in many ways. Bemice, afterwards Mrs. C. R. Bishop, a lovely little girl, so beautiful with her wonder ful curls that memory keeps it a living picture, always seemed to be near Mrs. Cooke, and well did she repay her care. The young chiefs were then a very interesting group, prominent among whom was Liholiho, afterwards Kamehameha Fourth, then bright and pleasing. He ever made a friend ot his Mother Cooke, always having something to tell her, when I chanced to be at the school. Hei patience and wisdom were a marvel to me, her gifts of song greatly increasing her influence. Their helpers, John li, and his stately wile, under the influence of Mr. and Mrs. Cooke, developed the highest style of native Christian character. Many disappointments came to these teachers in the lives of their pupils; but the Lunalilo home and the Kamehameha Schools are enduring monuments of their influence over some of their pupils, and we can hope it was not in vain over others." In illustration of the evils which these teachers had to correct, the writer ventures to describe an incident witnessed in 18:5s. The Bishops embarked early in that yearfor Kauai, on a large brig owned by Governor Kaikioewa of that island. It was literarlly packed and jammed with natives, accompanying the royal Gover nor. The young Mr. and Mrs. Cooke were fellow passengers. All were on board, and the vessel, her sails set was about to be loosed from the wharf, when down came young Prince Moses, a lad of nine, the oldest son of the Premier Kinau.and brother of Lot and Alexander. Followed by a train of attendants, he demanded to be taken on board to make the voyage. Old Kaikioewa, who was his special guardian, pleaded and prayed with the angry child to desist, but little Moses stood on the wharf and literally held the vessel, stoiming and howling This lasted for fully two hours. Mrs. Cooke is remembered to have maintained her composure, amid the general annoy- ance. Moses had not then been under her charge like some of the younger ones. The distressing scene ended by a file of soldiers being sent by Gov. Kekuanaoa his father, who arrested the screaming young Prince, and bore him home, and the brig at last proceeded on her voyage. The royal children were all brought up to be absolute masters over their attendants, with every caprice indulged. In the Royal School, autho rity was quietly, but firmly established, but-with what difficulties! There being no more royal children, in 1849 the family school was closed. Mr. Cooke became associated with Mr. S. N. Castle in the large financial agency of the Mission. As that work diminished, there were subsequently joined a mercantile business under the firm name of Cfastle & Cooke, which still continues. Mr. and Mrs. Cooke continued to be active in all Christian and Church work, and their good report was known to all as Christians of rare devotion and humility. They lived in the old Mission House imported in IN2I, which is still standing at Kawaiahao. There their hospitality 1was constant to their fellow missionaries, and to many visitors. Mrs. Cooke was always a favorite in Honolulu Society, owing to her peculiar refinement and courtesy, and the geniality of her nature. She was wise in counsel. Her friends and neighbors constantly sought her advice. From the time that the Kawaiahao Female Seminary was established across the street some thirty yearsago, "its teachers found in her a ready sympathizer, an able and considerate counsellor. She had had large experience in the bringing up of native youth; she understood trials and perplexities, but advice was never thrust upon us, nor were we ever wounded by her criticism." "Mother Cooke's friendship was marked for its steadfastness. It was not one day effusive, and the next changed to cool civility. The law of kindness was on her lips, and her constant bearing was an unspoken definition of true politeness, 'kindness kindly expressed.' " The thirty years in the old mission house were years of domestic care and toil. There were four sons and three daughters born between 1838 and 1854, all of whom lived to mature years, and all gave joy to their mother's heart. "What memories her children cherish of her loveand patience, how she wrought for their welfare, cutting and making garments boys' and girls'—with her own hand in late night hours; directing them in their studies, and leading them in her own delightful way to companionship with historians and poets of the p ist and present, and carrying herself bright and cheery in spite of heavy trials and much bodily suffering." Two sons died in early manhood, but leaving children. Several children have been exceptionally prospered financially. — �THE FRIEND Vol. 54, No. 9.] 67 On my return to Oahu in 1853, few which he is incapable of commanding natives were seen in Honolulu streets or navigating, but in which he is welcome without pants.

Work was often in her hands, so often wont to wait on Industry —or the pen was there, for she kept up correspondence with absent children. Flowers exhaled their perfume anil smiled in beauty on her table, for had she not been their lover always ? And she herself sat serene, content, waiting so sweetly the passing of the few more shadows, waiting five fleeting years." She passed away in a very humble and trustful faith in the ransom of her divine Redeemer. Peacefully she fell on sleep in her eighty-fifth year. . �68 THE FRIEND Religious Work in Olaa. The Rev. C. W. Hill of Hilo Foreign Church writes from Olaa, August 12, as follows: "Through the kindness of Mr. Birnie who supplies my pulpit for two sabbaths, I am enjoying with my family a vacation of two weeks in Olaa, which enables me to help establish our work here. Miss C. Snow of Honolulu, who is visiting her brother, has gathered the children together for the last few sabbaths at the house of Mr. Trowbridge, and given them Bible instruction. Last Sabbath we effected a perfect organization with Mrs. C. Trowbridge, Superintendant, Mrs. Y. M. Fulcher, Assistant Superintendant, and Mr. J. W. Morris, Secretary and Treasurer. The whole number present was 26. Others can evidently be Drought in. The meat man tells me that he has 80 customers on the road between the Uth and 24th mile posts, mostly English speaking people. A lot 150 x 150 ft. has been cleared for a building for school purposes, religious services, and a gene ral meeting place. lam now clearing a lot of about two acres adjoining it for a cottage. Several houses are now being built in this neighborhood. I hope that religious work can be carried on here by the help of and perhaps in connection with the Hilo First Foreign Church." Educational Success of Mrs. W. H. Gulick. Rev. W. H. Gulick writes from San Sebastian in Spain, that two of their students who in 1894 had taken the degree of "Bachelor of Arts" in San Sebastian, continued their studies for the University degree corresponding to that of "Master of Arts." Mrs. Gulick prepared the girls for examination in General Literature, Philosophy, Metaphysics, and Spanish Literature as well as other studies. In May 1896, Mrs. Gulick and Miss Webb went to Madrid to matriculate the two girls, Esther Alonso and Julian Campo, in the University. When the ten examinations were completed, the highest marks were given in all of them ! The professors were greatly surprised; still more when they learned that they had been instructed by lady professors from the United States. The professor of Universal History said, laughing, "I did not intend to give you such a good mark, for you are enemies of my Catho lie God." So this Protestant school is made triumphant amid its foes.

At this last circuit I have baptized at Makiu two cfiildren. and received two new members on confession of faith; at Kuiua baptized three children, received one new member on confession of faith, at Taniamaiak none. Here at Butaritari baptized four children, and restored three members. One was postponed for next communion term. He went to the Catholics from Nua's time, and I have succeeded in getting him back, but I want to experiment his faith yet. He gave me two Catholic books, As I have heard from Kano.i that you desire to get hold of some of the Catholics' translations into the Gilbert tongue, I send them to you. May 2. The Catholic priest who went to Makiu is back f,rom his trip, and I am glad to hear from the people that he had no success there at all. I have just received a letter from Tabiteuea from Rev. S. K.taia. He says that the people are leaving him through the intermediance of Catholic priests. lam sorry to hear that, but I think the reason is this: Kaaia has three districts under his care, and they are far distant from each other. So when he is away from one of his districts, the Catholics have all the chance to go and sow their seeds, as they do here while I am away; and mind you, dear friend, after the Catholic gets hold of any of these natives, it is very hard to get them back again. I have succeeded to get one back here, but with hard toil. Now the news is that at Paaluhi's parish the Catholics have no success. Why ? Simply because the Pastor does not leave his sheep, but is c instantly among them. Therefore if the Catholics succeed here among the group, it is because they have many missionaries and plenty of money to carry on the work. So I think the time has come for the Hawaiian Board to send smart men here to help the work. I have understood that the Hawaiian Board think it is about time now, or a little later, for Kusaie students to carry on the work among these Islands. But lam afraid of that. Aa far as I understand their knowledge in Biblical studies, they are inferior to the Catholi? priests and monks, and mind you, the first thing those Catholics try to, is to argue with ourselves and our schoolteachers, and to depersuade the people to follow after our teachings. Now if we are not able to challenge their minds, and to prove to the |>i pie that the Catholics are in error, they will leave us and follow after them. So I think that Kusaie students are not able to face these Catholics. Therefore if the Hawaiian Board want to sustain this mission, they must try hard to supply the stations with missionaries of experience about Christanity and also good Biblical students. Pardon me if I go too tar. Your friend in the Lord Louis M. Mitchell. Romanists and the Scriptures. Father Vaughan, brother of Cardinal Vaughan. has lately been around the world visiting mission stations, and instructing the Roman Catholic missionaries to make diligent use of the Scriptures. That Romanists have adopted this method of work should confirm Protestants in their old method of grounding their converts well in the knowledge of the word of God. The use of the Scriptures in the South Sea Islands is so marked a feature of modern Romanist missions as to deserve special notice. The Papal Church never did much for education while she held the key of knowledge; but in the South Sea Islands her priests are now full ot educational zeal. In the Samoan Islands the Roman Catholic Church has some 5000 adherents out of a population of 36,000. The London Missionary Society reports 5743 church members. (This implies over 15,()00 adherents. Ed.J The Romanists have a girl's school, and wherever a priest settles there is a school of some sort, which he supervises. In the Gilbert Islands, the priests who have come to begin a Romanist mission there, have brought out a translation of the Gospel of Matthew illustrated with pictures and maps; a tabular harmony of the four gospels printed at Friburg; a pictorial life of Jesus printed in Paris; a book of prayers, etc. Copies of these books have been recently sent to Honolulu by Hawaiian missionaries at work in the Gilbert Islands. C. fcf. H. The pictorial Life of Jesus in Gilbertese is illustrated in very superior style. May the above facts encourage us to hope for the day when the French Catholic priests in Hawaii will give the Holy Scriptures to their disciples. It was only the other day that Catholic priests tore New Testaments out of the hands of Portuguese in Honolulu and destroyed them. Perhaps they will not repeat the act. But in all Catholic countries, the distribution of the Bible to the common people is strictly forbidden to this day. As in Hawaii, so in the Gilbert Islands, the Catholic missionaries are active in the work of school education, through their necessity to keep up with the Protestants. In Mexico and South America the priests discourage education. An Unusual Summer Rainstorm. O. R. & L. CO. Trains run between Honolulu.
