Syllabus

<p>Trusts and trustees — Title to land — Security for debt — Church law.</p> <p>Where certain trustees and members of a church congregation purchase land for the use of the church, but take the title to the land in their own name without any agreement that the title shall be held as security for the payment of advances made by them to the church, except merely the promise of the pastor, the grantees in the deed will be decreed to convey the land to the church corporation free from any trust, but without prejudice to their right to enforce payment of the debts due them in connection with all other bona, fide creditors of the church.</p>
