The name of an institution is immaterial in determining whether such institution is denominational or sectarian within the meaning of Article III, Section 18 of the Constitution of Pennsylvania. 2. To render an institution denominational or sectarian within the meaning of Article III, Section 18 of the Constitution of Pennsylvania, acts must be done pursuant to powers conferred which are .promotive of the tenets and interests of a particular denomination or sect. 3. The defendant corporation, from the facts in this case, is not a denominational or sectarian institution within the meaning of Article III, Section 18 of the Constitution of Pennsylvania. 4. The Act of July 18, 1919, making an appropriation to the DuBois Hospital does not violate Article I, Section 3, or Article III, Section 18 of the Constitution of Pennsylvania. DECREE.
