These were 4 followed by similar schools, under the cadership of Luther and Knox, where the catechism Wftg tanght, and Bible verses, sacred poems, etc., oommitted to memory. In 1/80, Robert Raikea, an English philan thropist, collected a few ^factory chil dren from the streets of Gloucester, England, and hired ^achers to instrnot them in moral knowledge. This was the real begining of the modern Sunday School, and in the century and a . quar ter of its life—it haa assumed great pro portions and has done great good. The archins who came under tho in structions of Raikea* teachers improved both in conduct and morals, eren as modem urchins do today For a time the early Sunday Schools united secular with religious training. The spread of elementary education lias made this custom almost obsolete, though it is still carried on to a certain extent by Quakers. In the early days in this 'coantry the schools were ia themselves an education Often Sunday School library afforded the only books in an entire community. ,'i'hey were eagerij read and often lead to a desire for other literature.
