Maison de dieuHouse of God. In England the term, borrowed from the French, signified formerly a hospital, an almshouse, a monastery.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
House
Estates. A place for the habitation and dwelling of man. This word has several significations, as it is applied to different things. In a grant or demise of a house, the curtilage and garden will pass, even without the words "with the appurtenances," being added.
God
"From the Saxon god, good. The source of all good; the supreme being. Every man is presumed to believe in God, and he who opposes a witness on the ground of his unbelief is bound to prove it. By article 1, of amendments to the Constitution of the United States, it is provided that ""Congress shall make no laws respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."" In the United States, therefore, every one is allowed to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience.
Term
1) Construction. Word; expression speech. 2) Contracts. This word is used in the civil, law to denote the space of time granted to the debtor for discharging his obligation; there are express terms resulting from the positive stipulations of the agreement; as, where one undertakes to pay a certain sum on a certain day and also terms which tacitly result from the nature of the things which are the object of the engagement, or from the place where the act is agreed to be done. For instance, if a builder engage to construct a house for me, I must allow a reasonable time for fulfilling his engagement. 3) Estates. The limitation of an estate, as a term for years, for life, and the like. The word term does not merely signify the time specified in the lease, but the estate also and interest that passes by that lease; and therefore the term may expire during the continuance of the time, as by surrender, forfeiture and the like. 4) Practice. The space of time during which a court holds a session; sometimes the term is a monthly, at others it is a quarterly period, according to the constitution of the court.
