§  136.  Changing  number of trustees.  An incorporated Baptist church  may, at an annual corporate meeting, change the number of  its  trustees  to not less than three, nor more than eighteen, or classify them so that  the  terms  of  one-third expire each year, provided that notice of such  intended change or classification be included  in  the  notice  of  such  annual  corporate  meeting. No such change shall affect the terms of the  trustees then in office,  and  if  the  change  reduces  the  number  of  trustees,  elections  shall  not be held to fill vacancies caused by the  expiration of the terms of trustees until the number of trustees  equals  the  number  to  which the trustees were reduced. Whenever the number of  trustees in office is less than the number so determined on,  sufficient  additional  trustees  shall  be  elected  to make the number of trustees  equal to the number so determined on. The trustees so elected up to  and  including one-third of the number so determined on, shall be elected for  three  years,  the remainder up to and including one-third of the number  so determined on for two years, and the remainder for one year.
