A printer in Gloucester started a free Sunday school for rough street boys after seeing them quarrel over flowers. He taught them at his home, and the idea spread from England to France, Germany, Australia, and the United States. The movement grew worldwide, with Sundays devoted to Bible stories without money or price.
