All property,  both  personal  and   real,  belonging  to or held in trust for any Seventh Day Baptist church   or any Seventh Day Baptist religious society that has  or  shall  become   extinct shall vest in and become the property of the Seventh Day Baptist   missionary  society  and  its successors and assigns; provided that this   section shall not affect the reversionary  interest  of  any  person  or   corporation in said property or any valid lien thereon.2. Any Seventh Day Baptist church or any Seventh Day Baptist religious   society  in  this state which has ceased or failed, or which shall cease   or fail, to maintain religious  worship  or  services,  or  to  use  its   property  for  religious  worship  or services, according to the tenets,   usages and customs of Seventh Day Baptist churches which are members  of   the  Seventh  Day  Baptist  general  conference,  for  the  space of two   consecutive years immediately prior to application to the supreme  court   of  the  state  for an order dissolving said church or society as herein   provided, or whose membership has so diminished or shall so diminish  in   numbers  or  in  financial  strength  as  to  render  it  impossible  or   impracticable for such church or society to maintain  religious  worship   or  services  or  to  protect  its  property  from  exposure to waste or   dilapidation, or to fulfill the purpose for which it  was  incorporated,   shall  be  deemed  and  taken  to  be  extinct, and may, by order of the   supreme court of the state, be so declared and thereupon dissolved,  and   the  property  of  such  church  or  society  may,  by  said  order,  be   transferred to, and the title and possession  thereof  vested  in,  said   Seventh Day Baptist missionary society.3. An application for such an order and disposition of property may be   made  by  any  member,  trustee,  or officer of said Seventh Day Baptist   missionary society, or any member of such church or society,  when  duly   authorized  thereto by the board of trustees of said Seventh Day Baptist   missionary society, upon a verified petition  setting  forth  the  facts   authorizing   such   order   and   disposition  of  property.  Upon  the   presentation of such petition to the supreme court of  the  state,  such   court may proceed in a summary manner after such notice as the court may   prescribe,  to inquire into the merits of such application, and if, upon   examination by the court, it shall satisfactorily appear that the making   of the order and the disposition of property applied  for  is  necessary   and  proper,  for any of the causes mentioned in subdivision two of this   section, such court shall make a final order declaring  such  church  or   society  extinct  and  dissolving the same and transferring any property   and the title and possession thereof, which may belong to such church or   society, to and vesting the same in said Seventh Day Baptist  missionary   society,  it being the purpose and intent of this section to preserve to   the Seventh Day Baptist denomination all property owned by  or  held  in   trust for any such church or society for religious purposes.
