lish Board of Missions for North and South America
and Set Up Two Boards
: (Memorial 403)
Because of the fact that there is a great deal of work to be
sin the field of missions in both North and South America, and
ecause of the fact that the nature of the problems presented
two areas in the field of missions are vastly different and
ire special understanding and techniques,
We respectfully request Synod to abolish the Board of Mis-
for North and South America as now constituted and to set
its place two separate and distinct boards, namely, a Mis-
Board for North America to have charge of all synodical
on work in the United States, Canada, and Alaska, and also
Separate board for the Latin American countries to have charge
ll. synodical mission work in the countries south of the southern
ndary of the United States and in all extraterritorial missions.
B;We further request Synod to implement these two boards with
Bquate funds and all other facilities to enable them to carry out

‘We further request Synod to direct each of these two boards
lect its own Executive Secretary, who is to act as Director of
ions for, and be responsible to, the board by whom he is
ected, and also to employ such other personnel as is needed to
tion properly within the limits of the funds allocated to each
‘for its operations.
