In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed... No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people. Preface to 1828 Dictionary

ANTIS'TROPHE,'TROPHY, n. [Gr. opposite, and a turning.
In Greek choruses and dances, the
returning of the chorus, exactly answering to a previous strophe or
movement from right to left. Hence: The lines of this part of the choral
song.
It was customary, on some occasions, to dance round the
altars whilst they sang the sacred hymns, which consisted of three stanzas
or parts; the first of which, called strophe, was sung in turning from east
to west; the other, named antistrophe, in returning from west to
east; then they stood before the altar, and sang the epode, which was the
last part of the song. The
repetition of words in an inverse order; as, the master of the servant and
the servant of the master.
