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⟳.”
