Sects

Bequest, Sects, Condition

From the book The Clergyman’s Hand-book of Law, about Bequest, Sects, Condition (1): Where a bequest was made to erect a place of worship with the privilege for other sects to worship therein and forever to be used as such, the trustees in whom the title vested had no authority to sell without the consent of the grantor or his heirs; and the congregation having sold the church property and it having been thereafter used for a store, the grantor’s heirs had a right of entry for condition broken.558
