Section 225-E. Effect upon existing corporations

Every free Methodist
  church heretofore incorporated in the state of  New  York  shall,  three
  months  after  this  article  takes effect, automatically come under its
  provisions, unless in the meantime it shall elect by a  two-thirds  vote
  of  all its members in full connection to remain under the provisions of
  the  general  or  special  law  applicable  thereto  at  such  time.   A
  certificate  of  such  vote shall be filed in the office of the clerk of
  the county in which the principal place of worship of  such  corporation
  is  located  and  shall  be  recorded by such clerk in the book in which
  certificates of religious corporations are recorded pursuant to law.
