Memorial Concerning the Formation of Larger Electoral Districts.

To the Reverend Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States,
assembled at St. Louis from May 10 to May 20, 1911.

Reverend fathers and brothers!

At the last convention of our Synod, "the Synod expressed the
request that larger electoral districts be formed than has usually
been done up to now," and the undersigned was instructed "to make
proposals at the next Synod as to how the number of delegates could
most suitably be reduced."

Before venturing to make such proposals, he recalls the arrangement
now in force.

Our synodical constitution states, under "Addenda and Bylaws
Concerning the Delegate Synod": "The following provisions apply as
bylaws for the Delegate Synod: A. Regarding voting congregations:
1. Every 2 to 7 congregations shall be entitled to send a pastor and
a deputy as their representatives, in such a way that not fewer than
2 and not more than 7 congregations at most shall join together for
this purpose. . . . B. Regarding advisory members of the Synod: 1.
These too shall take part in their order at the Delegate Synod. That
is, there shall always be one out of every 7 advisory pastors and one
out of every 7 teachers
