"The kingdom of heaven is with men; but without, are dogs and liars, and sorcerers and whoremongers, and he that willeth and maketh a lie."
"Seek first the kingdom of heaven and its righteousness, and all things shall be added unto you."
"The Lord God is a sun and a shield, for a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a door-keeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness."
To prevent any person going to a lunatic asylum as patient wrongfully, I recommend:
1st. That the complainant be required to summon each physician in said town where the defendant lives, these being duly sworn after having examined the accused or defendant in regard to his sanity or insanity.
2d. That this examination be in presence of twelve legal unprejudiced jurors who shall weigh the testimony and decide accordingly in regard to his being a proper subject of a lunatic asylum.
3d. That the defendant or accused, like Paul before Felix, be permitted to answer for him or herself.
