Examples

“I speak here of the matter of individual effort in promoting the success of the various schemes of usefulness, and not of the matter of actual donations to these causes. There is such a thing as giving to a good cause, yet opposing its prosperity by discountenancing its operations and object. To successfully push on a benevolent enterprise, requires more than giving; it requires action, and feeling, and talk.”
