§ 225-k. Powers and duties of the trustees. 1. The trustees shall have
  the  custody  of  all the temporalities and property, real and personal,
  belonging to the corporation and of the revenues  therefrom,  and  shall
  administer  the same in accordance with the discipline, rules and usages
  of the corporation and of the Free Methodist Church  of  North  America;
  but  shall  have  no  control  of  funds  raised  for  pastoral support,
  benevolent  enterprises  or  any  other  purpose  save  those   directly
  connected with the property of the church.

2.  A  society  meeting of an incorporated free Methodist church whose
  trustees are elective as such, may give direction, not inconsistent with
  law, as to the manner in which any of the temporal affairs of the church
  shall be administered by the trustees thereof; and such directions shall
  be followed by the trustees. The trustees shall have no  power,  without
  the  consent  of  such  a society meeting, to incur debts beyond what is
  necessary for the care of the property of the corporation.
