That any colored Baptist church or colored Baptist religious society in
this state which has ceased or failed to maintain religious worship or
services or to use its property for religious worship or services according
to the tenets, usages, and customs of Baptist churches in this state for
the space of two consecutive years immediately prior thereto, or whose
membership has so diminished in numbers or 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 and dilapidation, or to fulfill the purpose for which it was
incorporated, shall be deemed and taken to be extinct, and may by an order
of the district court of the county in which such society has been
theretofore situated be so declared, and thereupon dissolved, and the

for such church or society, be transferred to, and the title and possession
