Charity Institutions

Charity, Institutions

From the book The Clergyman’s Hand-book of Law, about Charity, Institutions (1): To determine what is a charitable trust, devise, or gift, it is necessary to particularly bear in mind the most comprehensive definition of charity. Legacies for schools, churches, libraries, cemeteries, the poor, hospitals, and numerous other eleemosynary institutions, have been sustained under charitable bequests when they otherwise would have failed.586
