and to those members of boards who under present regulations
hold their membership by virtue of being synodical or District
officials. We also recommend that these provisions shall become
effective with the elections of 1941 and that withdrawal from
further candidacy of present members of boards shall be based on
length of service.

P.S. The resolution to present this overture to Synod was
adopted in a regular meeting of the congregation on April 3, 1938.

Report of Committee 9:

Your Committee recognizes much merit in this overture but
sees many practical difficulties.

We therefore recommend that Synod urge all nomination
committees and Districts to bring about rotation of officers wher-
ever feasible in order that the gifts which the Lord has given us
may be utilized more fully and service may be rendered well and
intensively rather than for a long time.

Action of Synod: This report was adopted.
