CRADLE ROLL IN E WHITES ICNTKRTA I XI NO liY OF VALUE OF NEW MOVEMENT PROVES SUCCESSFUL WHER EVER TIMED Ol'T INTEHEST IX COLUMN FOR SUNDAY SCHOOL FOLKS. Wo havo taken ns our motto ' Wayne county In tho Front Lino by October, 1911, when wo go to Now Cnstlo" for our Stnto convention. If this aim is realized we must hnvc about sixty cradle rolls In tho county. We have already quite a goodly number but not nearly enough. It Is for the schools which as yet know nothing of the work that this article Is written. The Cradle Roll is tho latest and In many ways the most important department of the Sunduy School. It alms to place tho sheltering caro of the church about the little ones by giving the pastor and other officers of the church and Sunday school an opportunity to come in contact with the home through mu tual Interest in the baby. By Its work the child at the earliest possi ble moment, receives the bcncllt of the school, and the school secures the co-operation of tho home. Many children who would have but little religious training will ear ly In life reailzc tho sheltering care of church and Sabbath school through tho Roll. It should show a friendly, helpful spirit toward little ones in the com munity whether the parents aro af filiated with any church or not nnd should bring them into the Sunday school. It encourages parents and older members of the family to take more Interest In tho Sunday school and Induces mnny of them to become attendants themselves. The babies and children, too young to attend the Sunday school are the members. Babies are enroll ed at birth or as soon after as the consent of parents Is obtained. They remain In the Department until they begin attending Sunday school reg ularly usually until three or four years old. This Department has proved very helpful in my own and many other schools, why will it not in yours? It is possible that many souls will be saved through this agency and If we are in earnest we will make use of evrything which has been given us by our Master to bring the world to the feet of Christ. If you are in a school where the babies are not members decide to do all In your power to bring about a change. Think about It. Pray about it and then put the matter before your school. Ask them to appoint some suitable person as superintendent. This person should preferably be a woman. She should be some one with a large mother heart, a person who can make herself welcome In the homes to which she goes. When a superintendent has been appointed she should find out from the Primary class, Home Department visitors, and pastor the names of all babies in the Sunday school dis trict. Enrollment cards together with a letter explaining the working of the roll should then be sent to each mother. These nre returned by all mothers who are anxious that their children become members. There are few mothers who will not want their children connected with the school and very often the superin tendent will receive the reply "cer tainly and I think I'll come my self." As soon ns tho child Is enrolled a certificate is sent to the home. This recognizes tho new relation be tween home and school. The names of the babies are plac ed on a large roll which should bo hung In the school room. At each birthday as well as at Thanksgiving and Easter the child is remembered by suitable cards and at Christmas by a card or small tok en. After the child has been enrolled visits should be inado at the home often for tho purpose Is to link homo and school more closely. Invitations to special socials or festivals should bo sent to tho baby and Its mother. As soon as tho child is old enough ho should be transferred to the Be ginner's class. This Is a point at which we must bo very careful. Every Cradle Roll member should be brought at three, four or five years of age Into the school. If then tho work In tho various classes Is Interesting we shnll be able to hold them until death in one department or another, and soon tho percentage of peoplo who attend Sunday school in our county shnll bo soventy-flvo rather than twenty. Tho materials needed can bo ob tained from any of tho denomina tional publishing houses nt n very nominal cost. A paper called "Tho Golden Now" which Is very helpful to CradloRoll mothers Is printed by David C. Cook. Wo mention this because It scorns to meet the ap proval of various workers and so fnr as we know is tho only paper of Its kind printed. There Is no school so poor that It cannot nfford a Cradlo Roll Depart ment, nnd no school so woll off that It needs none. Hero tho city school has no advantage ovor tho country school for It hns been tried In equal success In schools of both kinds. Try It. In The- Hecordcr'8 Olllce. W. II. Ham and his wife, Jennie C.
