Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is our opinion, therefore, that a bequest for the support of a minister, or for the payment of a minister's salary, or the furnishing of a house in which a minister may live, should all be recognized as gifts for charitable uses. The fact that the testatrix also desired to perpetuate by this gift the memory of her deceased son, does not render this devise less charitable.”
