...Pearson helped launch Andover Theological Seminary, which soon turned town and gown into what Student Oliver Wendell Holmes (1825) called "the very dove's nest of Puritan faith." Great preachers flocked there; on Andover Hill was written My Country 'Tis of Thee. Shunning Unitarian Harvard, the school became such a solid Yale "feeder" that in the 1920s Andover men comprised 10% of many a Yale class...
...beseech thee to protect with thy sustaining presence those who venture to explore the heavens." At civic ceremonies, invocations are somewhat shorter and simpler than in the past-and may even on occasion live up to the standards of frankness set by the Right Rev. Anson Phelps Stokes Jr., Episcopal Bishop of Boston, who suggests that his priests say: "God forgive the graft that went into this building."

Finally, the city authorities are trying to do just that by cleaning up yards and empty lots, getting rid of old tin cans, coconut husks and automobile tires, and everything else capable of holding stagnant water...
Driver and his team are ruthlessly pruning archaisms from their translation: saith and doth are out; thee and thou are not used, except when God is addressed. Lord (in capital letters) will be used in place of Jehovah-a philologically meaningless attempt to render the sacred Hebrew Tetragrammaton YHWH. The translators are also trying to weed out what Driver calls "nonsense" caused by faulty reading of the manuscripts. In Psalm 2, for example, "Tremble before him and kiss his feet in homage" will replace a serious misinterpretation in the King James Version: "Rejoice with trembling. Kiss the son, lest...
