2. On filing such certificate in the office of the county clerk of the
county in which such corporate body is or is intended to be located,

their successors and assigns, and that in the event said New York
district of the Assemblies of God or general council of the Assemblies
of God or if their successor is not in existence at the time of

Assemblies of God organizations as shall qualify under section 501 (c)
(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, to be used in such
manner as in the judgment of a justice of the supreme court shall best
accomplish the general purposes for which the corporation was formed.
