When any diocese of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America within the state of New Jersey, has been or shall be divided into two or more dioceses, the body of trustees holding in trust or having control of the fund for the support of the bishop of such original or dividing diocese may make such division of all property as agreed upon by the original and the new diocese, whether after or in prospect of such division, and may assign, transfer and set over the same to such trustees as may be appointed for such new diocese, to hold to them and their successors for the trusts imposed upon them.
If such division is made, all trusts in relation to the securities thereby conveyed, incumbent upon the former trustees, shall cease and be discharged.
