In 1828, on account of threatened war between England and Turkey, the missionaries removed to Malta, where Goodell labored in pre- paring and printing books for the mission; until, in 1831, the way having been opened by the de- struction of the Turkish fleet at Navarino, he went to Constantinople, where he commenced the Armeno-Turkish mission. During his missionary life he and his devoted wife cheerfully endured many trials and perils, and were compelled to move their residence 33 times in 29 years. One of his chief labors was the translation of the Bible into Armeno-Turkish, in making and re- vising which he spent twenty years.

GOOD FRIDAY. The Friday before Easter, observed in commemoration of the crucifixion of Christ. That from a very early period it was a day of solemn mourning and special prayer is apparent from the A})<jstoUc Conxtitiilions (i. 18) and from Eusebius, who tells us that when Christianity was established in the Empire, Con- stantine forbade the holding of markets, law courts, and other public proceedings upon this day. It is still a legal holiday in England and Ireland. A number of ancient popular customs, such as the eating of 'hot cross buns' — cakes with a cross impressed on them — are connected with the day. For its ceremonial observance in the Roman Catholic Church, see Cross; Holy Week. A service of modern origin, increasingly popular in Catholic and Episcopal churches, is the Three Hours' Devotion, consisting of addresses upon the seven last words of Christ, prayers and hymns, and occupying the hours from 12 to 3, when Ho hung n]ion the cross.
