§ 170. Election and salary of ministers. The ministers of any such
church shall be called, settled or removed and their salaries fixed,
only by the vote of a majority of the members of such corporation duly
qualified to vote at elections present and voting at a meeting of such
corporation specially called for that purpose, in the manner
hereinbefore provided for the call of special meetings; and any such
corporation may, by its by-laws, make the call, settlement or removal of
its ministers dependent upon a concurrent vote of the unincorporated
church connected with such corporation; and in that case the concurrence
of a majority of the members of such unincorporated church, present and
voting at a meeting thereof, called for that purpose, shall be necessary
to the call, settlement or removal of such ministers.
