When two or more Methodist Churches have been united in accordance with the usages, rules and discipline of the Methodist Church, the terms of office of the trustees of the several churches so united shall be terminated by the act of union, and the title to all property, real and personal, of such churches, and the title to all real and personal property held by their trustees, shall by such act vest in the trustees of such new church. The bishop or other authority making such act of union shall lodge for record, in the office of the town clerk of the town or towns wherein any of such lands are situated, a certificate executed in the manner required for deeds of land, describing such land and stating the names of such former churches and of the new one so formed, the fact of union with the date thereof and the names of the trustees of the new church; which certificate, when so lodged for record, shall have the effect of a recorded deed and conveyance of such land.
