The remainder of the said income which shall not be expended providing for the objects aforsaid shall be accumulated and invested by the Trustees, so as to form a reserve fund for the extraordinary reparation or improvement of the said Church.” The scheme also states that, “The appropriation of the benefits of the said Charity shall be made by the Trustees from time to time at meetings of their body, and not by any individual Trustee or Trustees.”
