of incorporation was duly and in due time filed for record in the said clerk's
office, and that the book containing the record of the same has been lost or
destroyed, and such agreement, plan or certificate of incorporation shall
be again filed for record in said clerk's office, unless it has heretofore already
been filed, or if the original of such plan, agreement or certificate of incor-
poration cannot be found, then such record in said clerk's office may be
made from the aforesaid record book of such religious corporation unless
said record has heretofore already been made in said clerk's office from said
record book of such religious corporation. If any church or congregation,
organized or incorporated as a religious corporation since the year eighteen
hundred under any law of this State, hath failed or omitted to file in the
proper clerk's office its agreement, plan or certificate of incorporation,
within the time prescribed by said law, and if such agreement, plan or cer-
tificate of incorporation hath never been since filed for record nor a record
been made in said clerk's office of said agreement, plan or certificate of in-
corporation, from said record book of said corporation as aforesaid, such
church or congregation shall have all of the benefits of this section, if such
agreement, plan or certificate of incorporation shall be duly filed for
record in the proper clerk's office, within one year from April 11, 1912, or
a record be made within said time in said clerk's office of said agreement,
plan or certificate of incorporation from said record book of said corpora-
tion, as aforesaid.

The existence of a corporation upheld under the act of 1910, ch. 756 (p. 83).
Certificate of incorporation found in the minute book of the corporation held to be
property treated as an original, or at least a duplicate original, for the purpose of
this section. Even if such certificate was a copy, if there never was in the county
any record or record book such as is specified in the act of 1910, ch. 756, the filing
of such copy is a sufficient compliance with this section. The act of 1912, ch. 218, re-
ferred to but not construed. Mills v. Zion Chapel, 119 Md. 514.
