reading a lesson they were to be con-
Quoted to church. After church, they
were to be employed in repeating the
catechism till half-past five, and then

by no means to play in the street. y
Four women were employed. as teach
ers in the Raikes school, at the rate
OF shilling day.
The primary object of Mr.. Raikes in
starting his school on Sunday was to
provide means of keeping the chill
dren OF the street, and the matter of
religious instruction was only inciden-
tai, the school partaking more of the
nature of the modern day school than
that OF the modern Sunday school; in
fact, it is often said the present free
school system is an outgrowth Of the
Raikes movement. Robert Raikes' own
account Of how he first conceived the
Idea is Interestingly told in letter

after Robert Raikes started the first
Sunday school at Gloucester. During
those years of expansion and growth
of the movement in behalf of the chill
dren, Sunday schools had sprung up
In every large town in England, and
had found their way into Scotland and
Ireland. With the development of the
Idea, came the conscious need of uni
,fcation and Capitalization for
Strengthening and systematizing the
movement. This was effected in 1903.
and it is this great forward step in
the evolution of the Sunday school
which is to be appropriately observed
In Great Britain this year.
The Sunday school of the present
day, with its. session of one hour. it's
voluntary and earnest corps of teach
ers, its circulating library, it's papers
and cards, its bright music, and the
dozen and one other features to make

Robert Raikes was instrumental in
starting. THE children were to come

to friend, written some time after thu
schools were started:
Some business leading me one
morning into the suburbs of the city
where the lowest of the people-who
are principally employed, in the pin
manufactory-chief1y reside, was
struck with concern at seeing group
OF children, wretchedly ragged, play
Ing in the streets. asked an inhabi-
tant whether these children belonged
to that part of the town, and lamented
their misery and idleness. "Ah." said
the woman, could you take a view
OF this part Of the town on Sunday
you would be shocked indeed, for then
the street is filled with multitudes Of
those wretches who spend their time
In noise and riot, playing at chuck and
cursing and swearing in manner SO
horrid as to convey to any serious
mind an idea of hell"
The house Of Mr.. and Mrs. King was
secured for the first Sunday school for
the children Of Gloucester. The first
Sunday in July, in 1880. was the great
day, and long before the school was
timed to open crowd of urchins were
Desleglng the doors, eager for place
IN the school. Immediate success
crowned the movement, and other
schools were soon opened in Glouces-
ter. In those days the teachers were
paid, for they not only instructed the |
children in religious matters, but
taught them to read, and the major
part OF the day was devoted, as al
ready stated. to the session Of the
school Raikes at the time was

covery and the good outfit which was
out on the desert somewhere. AS the
prospector told of the nugget trail
two feet wide, the old man would
look at his wife and raise his shoul-

the prospector insisted; he tried in
every way to get them to return

only thing which would alter the
smile which persistently played onl

would change the subject by saying
they would come back after visiting

to interest prospectors to go with
him; but when he told of the rich.

their shoulders and look incredulous.

An important Case Settled.

The famous case Of L. II. Stock
strom W.. j. +. Ball, for possession
OF the J. W. MILAN Horse Com
pany property In the north part of
town, has at last been settled.
Some eleven years ago the horse
company borrowed 5000 ON the
property giving n trust deed.
Shortly aftcrward all the right,
title and interest OF the horse
company In the land was sold
under an execution for debt, and
Mr.. Ball became the purchaser for
$40. OF course he took II subject
to the trust deed. In the meantime
J. T. Donovan had sold the note
and trust deed on the place to
s5tockstrom OF st. Louis, and
guaranteed Its payment at matur-
ity. Donovan knew the security
was insufficient and kept the
interest paid to Stocketrom him
self for several years TO keep
Strockstrom from making any In
vcrtigatlon Of conditions at Mont
gomcry. All this Injured to tho
benefit Of Mr.. Ball who was on the
place. Finally about two years
ago Donovan became insolvcnt
and ceased to pay the interest on
the note. Stockstrom then for the
first time wrote 20 Montgomery
and found that MIR. Ball was In
possession. lie instituted pro-
ccedlngs to recover possession.
II was necessary to have new
trustee appointed to sell under the
trust deed as the trustee refused to
act. This was done. Then after
the foreclosure sale an cjcctmcnt
sui. was Instituted against Mr..
Ball for possession. This suit was
fought to the bitter end. Every
inch Of the ground was bitterly
contested. The case was at this
term compromised by Mr.. Ball
paying Mr. Stockstrom $3.50. and
the costs OF suit. j. ID. Barnett,
Judge Peers, l.. y. Roscnberger
