HELD FIRST SUNDAY SCHOOL
Eng'ishman the Founder Of institution
Now Recognized as Force of
Our Civilization,

The first known Sunday school was
started in 1912 in little village in
England by Robert Raikes, a man Of
moderate means, and with no official
church connections, Raikes lived in
Gloucester, and was regular attend
ant at Sunday church services. One
Sunday morning he left his door step
to make his slow and calm progress
to the place Of worship when he was
halted by burst Of profanity from the
lips Of small boy about to be en-
gagged in tfstic battle with a playmate.
The fight was on before Raikes could
reach the spot, and the original burst
OF profanity was added to by the ex-
cited spectators.
Raikes~ stopped the fight, and per-
suaded the entire group Of boys to go
to his home. He abandoned his in
tentions Of going to church and spent
the morning with telling Bible stories
in simple fashion, and in getting the
boys to help him in singing program.
The next Sunday the entire crowd
came back and brought their friends
with them. The Sunday school was
established. The idea spread to other
English villages, jumped to France,
and then Germany, and lastly to the
United States. Sunday schools are
now in operation in every civilized
nation In the world.

Independence.

Independence is a good thing when
you know just how to use 1t. No one
with the right red blood in his veins
wants to be dependent upon some one
else. Men who have made the world
move are the fellows who are known
to be governed by spirit Of independ-
ence that has made them =, different
from other fellows. And yet in spite
Of it all we are more dependent today:
than we have ever been. Our grand
fathers used to raise the cows, kill and
skin them, tan the leather and then
make the shoes that went on the lit
tie feet of the children. Grandmoth-
ers carded the WOOL spun the yarn,
wove the cloth and made the clothes
that kept the family warm. They
were an independent lot. They could
get along with less help from others
than can modern civilization. Yet
they were. far from exercising spirit
Of independence. They were the very
essence Of hospitality and good will.
They worked hard, bat their lot was
better than they knew. :;

The sad part of it all is that an Amer
