§  111.  Decision by Lutheran church as to system of incorporation and
  government. A meeting for the purpose of incorporating an unincorporated
  Evangelical Lutheran church must be called and held in pursuance of  the
  provisions  of  article  ten  of  this  chapter,  except  that the first
  business of such meeting after its organization, shall be  to  determine
  whether  such  church shall be incorporated and governed in pursuance of
  this article, or in pursuance of article ten of this  chapter.  If  such
  meeting  determines  that such church shall be incorporated and governed
  in pursuance of this article, then no further proceedings shall be taken
  in pursuance of article ten, and such church  may  be  incorporated  and
  shall be governed after its incorporation in pursuance of the provisions
  of the following sections of this article, except such provisions as are
  applicable  only  to  churches  of  a  different  denomination;  and the
  certificate of incorporation shall recite  such  determination  of  such
  meeting.   If   such   meeting  determine  that  such  church  shall  be
  incorporated and governed in pursuance of article ten of  this  chapter,
  then  this  article shall not be applicable thereto, but such church may
  be incorporated  and  shall  be  governed  after  its  incorporation  in
  pursuance  of the provisions of article ten of this chapter, except such
  provisions  as  are  applicable  to  churches  of  a  single   religious
  denomination only.
