Product Description: Raikes saw the Sunday schools as simply a response to Jesus' instruction to "feed my lambs." The poor children must be sought out and helped. "No one can form an idea of what benefits he is capable to the community by . . . visiting the dwellings of the poor." Thus, for Raikes, serving the Lord by ministering to poor children, would have important effects on society at large: If the glory of God be promoted in any, even the smallest degree, society must reap some benefit: "If the good seed be sown in the mind at an early period of human life though it shows itself not again for many years, it may please God, at some future period, to cause it to spring up, and to bring forth a plentiful harvest.
