THE FOUNDER OF sUNDAY-SCHOOLS.

Editor Christian Adrocate It is
commonly affirmed that the Church
is indebted to Robert Raikes, of Glou-
cester, Eng. for the first Sunday.
school, out Of which has grown the
present system of Sunday-shcools
throughout Christendom. Though
his efforts were directed chiefly to
the giving of secular instr lotions to
such children as he gathered togeth-
er on Sundays, yet 1t has been con-
ceded that this was the germinal idea
and the original type of the modern
Sunday school. 1t is also said that
this idea was not original with Mr..
Raikes, but that it should be attri.
buted-so says the American histo-
rian of Methodism-to Mr.. Wesley,
who introduced the Sunday.school
proper into his country societies to
Rowland Hill, who introduced it in
London, and to Bishop Asbury, who
first organized one in America. 1t is
affirmed by the same authority that
the idea twas suggested to Robert
Raikes by young woman, afterward
the wife Of the Rev. Samuel Brad.

In Duty" work by DR.. Samuel
Smiles, chapter x, it is said that Sun
day schools had existed before the
time of Robert Raikes; that Cardi.
nal Borromea established such a
school 400 years ago that William
King, 4 wooden-card maker at Dur
slay, first dropped the idea into
Raikes' mind :" that "when at Glou-
cester one Sunday he called upon
Raikes, that the two walked together
by the island-one of the lowest
parts of the city and that finding
the ragged children occupied in
sports. Mr.. King said: ''What a pity
that the Sabbath is SO desecrated p
But" said Raikes. show is it to be
altered Z" "Open Sunday-school,
as l have done ar Dursley," said
King. Mr.. Raikes then founded a
Sunday.scho for teaching reading
and Catechism. "In 1888 he hired
four schools, and agreed to give a
shilling to each of the teachers of
the neglected children"
Which of these authorities is cor.
rect? DR.. Stevens says that in 1881
Methodist lady in Gloucester sug-
gested to Mr.. Raikes the idea of Civ
ing instruction to children on Sun
day. DR. Smiles says that William
King did the same thig about the
same time. The conversation attri-
buted to the several parties is virtu-
ally the same, of the same import.
AS matter Of fact, it is we'll to
know whether it was the betrothed
of Mr.. S. Bradburn or Mr.. King who
made the excellent suggestion to Mr..
Raikes. 1t seems. however, that to
William King, of Dursley, rather
than to Mr.. Raikes, belongs the hon.

THE SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE.

Nothing is So popular as preju-
dice, and no prejudice so popular as
that resting upon supposed scien-
tifc basis, or backed by 7eputed
scientific authority. Always ot-
structive to the spirit of progress, it
is peculiarly SO when related to a
subject SO closely concerning the
interest of the people as the study
and treatment of disease. In these
physically degenerate days the
avoidance or remedy of the thou
sand ellis which flesh is heir to- is
a question of well-nigh universal i'm
port. The urgency of this common
need offers partial reason for the
adoption and perpetuation, by the
public mind, of the differences which
are supposed to exist between the
two great schools of medicine ;
while, at the same time, it measures
the greatness of the misfortune of
the fact.
Rooted in the professional ignor.
ance and bigotry of almost a century
ago. fostered by the bitter rivalries
and ,xclusivism of opposing theorists
these differences have been taken
up and fed by popular opinion, until
they seriously embarrass the progress
of medical knowledge, and tend to
destroy all faith in the science and
art of healing.
The medical fraternity at large,
and Of both schools alike, is respon.
sible for this unfortunate condition
of affairs. When professional men,
who, supposedly, represent the best
phases of liberal thought and scien-
titic culture, lend their names to the
partisanship of mere theory, and
array themselves under sectarian
titles which signify their adherence
to an exclusive dogma, it is small
wonder that the lalty should follow
in their footsteps, and cast :he,r
views into the yet narrower mold of
unreasoning prejudice.
And as professional hands have
sown this seed of error, it is they
who must gather it's barren harvest,
and uproot the tares of falls opinion
from the popular mind.

ranks of the one school of medicine.

THE SOUTH LEARNING.

1t Is not TO De inferred, 1rOH CHe
rather dismal fact that the efforts OF
the better classes of southern papers
to induce the southern planters to
differentiate their resources by diver
si6cation of crops and to magnify
their income by educating their ag-
riculture seem so pitilessly to beat
against a dead wall of usage and
habit, that no results are produced; ;
no advances made. A whole people
moves so slowly that generations are
not sufficient to carry it out Of the
grooves of inherited custom. That
is the meaning Of national character
istics, of those recognized attributes
which constitute known national
personality. Consequently the pro-
gress of people requires to be OBJ
served from a distance, the increase
of momentum being too small tn be
appreciated accurately in the present.

Of six months, astronmers secure a

mighty orbs are moving with incred.
ible velocities, which to our naked
eve have not changed their relative
positions at all. We can make a
geodetic application of this astron'
omical method. For instance, let us
apply it to the statistics of South
Carolina agriculture, supplied by the

No calculation of percentage is
necessary. No elaborate disserta'
ton is requisite to develop the fact
shown and the lesso taught in those
fgures-because the eye has all un'
der glance and "knows by wholes,
as the philosophers say. 1t is as un'
expected an exhibit as thai made in
Georgia by the Hon. +. (. Furman,
of Baldwin county, who in four years,
by science, increased his cotton
yield of sixty.tive acres from eight
bales to probably sventy-five bales.
| If the improved land doubled in
quantity, the figures OF product
would not be worth notice; but If
an old State like South Carolina can
increase her agricultural income at
such a great rate as those figures
prove, there is surely hope for all
the South. Take a base line of
twenty years, and see the result.
In 1860 South Cardinals product o.
cotton spinning was worth $113,ooO
in 1880 $50, 75O,770. If again the
increase of breadstlff had been Sc
cured by decrease of cotton, the
exhibit would be less satisfactory
bat the figures show that the cotton
increase has kept pace with that OF
grain, and speak volumes for the I'm
! provement in methods. Inc Colum'
