-tary in time and in writing. In compiling the Synodical Report, it is hoped that a careful comparison of the Credentials Committee's lists with the published billeting list, the written corrections submitted, and the report of the Excuse Committee has produced an absolutely correct list. If it were possible for the secretary, as is done by some bodies, to receive the registrations of all representatives before the synodical assembly, then the list of election districts and their representatives could be printed and presented right at the start of the Synod. Changes that had to be made suddenly regarding the representation of an election district could easily be noted, and by a second printing near the close of the sessions an error-free list would be produced. The customary method of preparation, and the single — indeed double — reading aloud of the name list, are extremely time-consuming as well as unsatisfactory, since not everyone is present when the name list is read.
