§  200.  Control  of  trustees  by  corporate  meetings;  salaries  of  ministers.   A  corporate  meeting  of  an  incorporated  church,  whose  trustees  are  elective  as  such, may give directions, not inconsistent  with law, as to the manner in which any of the temporal affairs  of  the  church   shall  be  administered  by  the  trustees  thereof;  and  such  directions shall be  followed  by  the  trustees.  The  trustees  of  an  incorporated  church  to which this article is applicable, shall have no  power to settle or remove or fix the salary of the minister, or  without  the  consent  of  a  corporate  meeting,  to  incur debts beyond what is  necessary for the care of the property of the corporation; or to fix  or  charge the time, nature or order of the public or social worship of such  church,  except  when  such  trustees are also the spiritual officers of  such church.
