why not that 1t be the mos important
member of the Sunday school. The
way to build up a cradle roll is to get
the names Of the babies in the whole

bers OF the cradle roll. These. names
can be obtained through the Junior

school. Some times attendance Of the
mothers and fathers may be obtained

Visit the home Of the babies and
get acquainted with the parents and
the work will be Tor interesting.
