"John," she said, with the firmness of her tone in active benevolences, "I have asked Jerry to take me to the train. I want you to go with me." "Me?" said Raven, unaffectedly surprised. "What for?" "For several things. If Dick is in any sort of trouble " "He's not," said Raven. "Take my word for that." "And," she concluded, "I want you to see somebody." "Somebody?" Raven repeated.
I'm going night and day now, trying to raise the debt on our new organ, and I've got to raise our benevolences yet; and besides this, my own salary is behind. I'm doing more work than any three preachers in the city. I tell you, the men who have got the money are going to hang on to it. There's Mr.
Among the multitude of inventions were many that were calculated to relieve the laborer of his severest tasks, to mitigate suffering, to ward off disease, and to lighten the load of mankind in various ways. Large sums of money were given for hospitals, charitable institutions, and colleges, and for other kinds of philanthropic work, while private benevolences were not uncommon.
Henry was justified in appealing to his subjects for every penny that could be raised, and resorted to "benevolences" an insidious method of extortion which had been declared illegal in the previous reign, but under the existing abnormal conditions could hardly be resisted.

Any country politician fears their non-partisan denunciation as he does political death.
Henry VII repressed disorder with a heavy hand and secured the establishment of an extraordinary court, afterwards called the "Court of Star Chamber," to hear cases, especially those affecting the nobles, which the ordinary courts had not been able to settle. A celebrated minister of Henry VII collected a very large number of "benevolences" for his master.
We are cheered, not only by the benevolences which are reporting themselves from the churches, but also by the kind words of sympathy and helpfulness which show us anew that this great and exigent work upon us was never nearer than now to the hearts of our pastors and churches.
The frost will soon come; the grass will be brown. I will be charitable while this blessed lull continues: for our benevolences must soon be turned to other and more distant objects, the amelioration of the condition of the Jews, the education of theological young men in the West, and the like.
He had a very good capacity and some good points, but he was selfish, careless, sensual, and cruel. He was a favourite with the people for his showy manners; and the people were a good example to him in the constancy of their attachment. He was penitent on his death-bed for his 'benevolences, and other extortions, and ordered restitution to be made to the people who had suffered from them.
