Sunday Children Evangelism

Robert Raikes StatueIt was a Sunday afternoon in Sooty Alley, the date July 1780. Boisterous children, normally shut in a Gloucester pin-making factory, played and shouted their freedom on this Sabbath day, much to the annoyance of a city gentleman living nearby by the name of Robert Raikes.

Robert was all too aware of the many families who had been attracted from the countryside to the city workhouses by the lure of easy money. Many had fallen into heavy drinking including some of the children. Few had any education, which was reserved for a fortunate elite in industrial England at that time.
