An application for such an order and disposition of property may be made
by any member or officer of the District Advisory Board of the Church of
the Nazarene, Kansas District, or by proper officials of said church upon a
verified petition setting forth the facts authorizing such order and
disposition of property.
Upon the presentation of such petition to the district court 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 disposition of the property applied for is necessary or
proper, for any of the causes mentioned, 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, or held in trust for such church or
society, and vesting the same in the District Advisory Board of the Church
of the Nazarene, Kansas District; it being the intent and purpose of this
act to preserve all property owned by or held in trust for any such extinct
church or society for religious uses.
