FOUNDER OF SUNDAY SCHOOL
Robert Raikes, to Whom Honor Is Gen.
orally Given, Said to Have
Borrowed the Idea.

Robert Rallles Of Gloucester is often
set down as the founder of the Sunday
school, writes an English correspond
ent, but nothing is heard OF Emmanuel
Twynning, the shepherd of Mugpie
Bottom. SheepscOmbe, GlOucestershire,
from whom Raikes got his idea. Mag
pie Bottom is a beautiful crlnkle at
the edge of the SheepscOmbe, where
the lane departs down the valley, at last
reaching Worcestershire. The young
man must have been up here to take
service. At any rate, as he went
by Maggie Bottom there was Shepherd
Emmanuel Twynning in that thyme
scented little paradise, with ring Of
children round him, explaining perhaps
pastoral parallels of the New Testa-
ment. Master Bob Raikes stopped,
perhaps joined in hymn an1 talked
to the shepherd, asking him how he
"went on" when the weather was not
so favorable. He was told that on
wet days some handy cottage shell
tered the class, and that, come wet or
fine, there was a class every Sunday.
During the walk back to Gloucester
the thought took root and without
the thyme and the marjoram and the
lnconsequent chlrrupng of grasshop-
pers, Robert took up his shepherdins
in the dark streets of the cathedral
