Sivu 117 - ... ALMIGHTY and most merciful Father, we have erred and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We have offended against thy holy laws. We have left undone those things which we ought to have done: and we have done those things which we ought not to have done; and there is no health in us.
Sivu 364 - How small , of all that human hearts endure , That part which laws or kings can cause or cure.
Sivu 13 - That the gentlemen whose names are appended be requested to act as a Committee (with power to add to their number) for the purpose of carrying out the previous resolution and of reporting to an adjourned public meeting to be held during the second week in October next.

But on all this misery society looked with profound indifference.
Sivu 325 - ... the experience acquired in one locality to the knowledge of another where it is wanted. But there is also something more than this for the central authority to do. It ought to keep open a perpetual communication with the localities: informing itself by their experience, and them by its own; giving advice freely when asked, volunteering it when seen to be required...
Sivu 304 - Another equally important principle is, that in each local circumscription there should be but one elected body for all local business, not different bodies for different parts of it.
Sivu 361 - ... condition that the house is at the commencement of the tenancy, and an undertaking that the house will be kept by the landlord during the tenancy, in all respects reasonably fit for human habitation...
