Excerpt from Heroines of the Mission Field: Biographical Sketches of Female Missionaries Who Have Laboured in Various Lands Among the Heathen A further argument for the necessity for such an agency, lies in the fact that Roman Catholicism largely employs the aid of women, even among the recently converted adherents of Protestant churches, and sets them to neutralise the work done by European mis sionaries, by winning over the women and children. This course was recently adopted in Madagascar. Catholic Sisters of Mercy caught hold of the mothers, wives, Sisters, and daughters of the Christian converts, and made much mischief. Their success was mainly due to the fact that the natives preferred to have female teachers for their wives and daughters; and while the missionaries' Wives did all they could, they could not cope with the full need which prevailed. But the London Missionary Society resolved to fight the foe with their own weapons, and appointed Miss Bliss to labour in the capital, dealing especially, of course, with the women and girls. And this instance is only one out of many that could be quoted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
