the children Of Gloucester. The first
Sunday In July, ii 1850, was the great
day, and long, befors the school was
timed to open l. crowd 81 urchins were
besieging the doors, eager for a; 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
the editor of the Gloucester Jour-
nal, and used his paper for extolling
the results of the work. BY this means
it was made known all over the coun-
try, and soon there were few big
towns which had not Hollowed the ex-
ample of Gloucester. -
It was little word, but potent,
which gave Raikes the inspiration and
courage to undertake the work which
was destined to mark a new era in the
history of religious development in
the church and the world. 1t was the
word TRY" Years afterward, when
his active work was done, he referred
to the incident when first that word
thrilled his being and brought. him. to
final decision. He was walking with
a friend through the streets of Glou-

stay till H.; they were then to go
home and stay till one; and after
reading 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
be dismissed, with an Injunction to go
home without making noise; and
by no means to play in the street"
-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 off 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

cester and pausing in a back street,
he uncovered his head and offered a
silent prayer. Then turning to his
friend, he said, as the tears rolled
down his face: "This is the SPOT on
which | stood when I saw the destitu-
ton OF the children and the desecra
ton of the Sabbath. AS I asked:
Can nothing be done?' a voice an
swered: 'Try!' did try, and see what

With the universal ACCEPTANCE of the
Sunday school movement, and the peo-
pie of the present day unable to re-
member the time when they have not
been familiar with the idea of the Sun
day school and it's splendid work, it
is hard to realize that once opposition
and disapproval of the movement was
encountered from church dignitaries
and others. Sir Charles Reed. refer
ring to this at the Raikes centennial
celebration in London, in June, 1880.
when the splendid statue in honor of
Ra1kes was unveiled and dedicated
upon the banks of the Thames, said:
when Sunday schools were first in
stituted In this country they were
f1ercely attacked. 1t is not to be SUD-
posed that they had an easy progress.
They were attacked by prelates in the
pulpit. The bishop of Rochester nota-
bly, denounced it and urged the clergy
not to support it; the archbishop of
Canterbury was the first man in that
day to call the bishops together to
consider whether something could not
be done to stop this great enterprise.
Later, the Presbyterians of Scotland
and the Congregationalists of New
England were represented among
the opponents of the Sunday school as
it battled its way into deserved "a
vor"
But this period did not last long
and when the movement came to the
notice of the queen, and she manifest
ed interest in the work, fresh impetus
was given it, as it bore the stamp OF
royal favor. Sending for Robert
-Ralkes, the queen learned from his
own lips the story of his work and its
progress; and as Raikes himself re-
ports the interview: ""Her majesty
most graciously said that she envfed
those who had the power of doine
good by thus personally promoting m
welfare Of society, In giving instrnc.
7 ton and morality to the general 3 q 8.

to friend, written some time after the
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
mandatory chiefly reside, I was
struck with concern at seeing a group
of children, wretchedly ragged, play
ing in the streets. I 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 view
of this part of the town on a Sunday
you would be shocked indeed, for then
the street is filled with multitudes of

49, the Sunday School union
just 100 years ago, % years
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
f1cation 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 it's session of one hour, it's
voluntary and earnest corps of teach
ers, it's circulating library, it's papers
and cards, it's bright music, and the
dozen and one other features to make
it the brightest and best spot in the
child's life during all the week, bears
little resemblance to the schools which
Robert Raikes was instrumental in
starting. "The children were to come
soon after ten in the morning, and

think the fluffy feather pelerines are
