sbyterian Church._
_I was on my way to church._
_He is a student of church history._ (Note use of lower-case in
this sentence.)

10. The names of creeds and professions of faith.

_Apostle's Creed_, _Thirty-nine Articles_, _Nicene Creed_.

Note that the adjective ante-Nicene is printed as it here appears.

11. The word "father" when used in direct reference to the fathers of
the church, and to the Pilgrim leaders of New England, and the word
"reformers" when used of the leaders of the Reformation.

_The ante-Nicene Fathers._
_Luther, Calvin and the other Reformers._

The word "father" is not capitalized when the reference is general, as
in the first sentence of this section.

The capitalization of "reformer" is intended to distinguish persons
connected with a certain definite historical movement from persons
interested in reform. Many persons might consider that the Reformers
were not reformers.

12. Names of persons.

_John Smith,_
_George V._

But write _John o' Groat_, _Tam o' Shanter_, and the like where _o'_ is
an abbreviation of _of_ and not the Gaelic _O'_ as _O'Neil_, etc.

In writing foreign names which contain particles, capitalize the
particles when not preceded by a Christian name or title.

_Alfred de Musset_ but _De Musset_,
_le Due de Morny_ but _De Morny_,
_Prince von Bismarck_ but _Von Bismarck_.

By exception the Dutch particle "van" is always capitalized.

_Van Hoorn_, _Stephen Van Rensselaer_.

13. Epithets appended to proper names or substituted for them.

_Frederick the Great_
_Peter the Hermit_
_William Red Head (Rufus)_
_the Conqueror_.

14. Names of races of men.

_Aryan_, _Caucasian_, etc., but generally _negro_ and _gypsy_, by
exception.

15. Names of places.

a. Cities, rivers, oceans, lakes, mountains, etc.

_Chicago_
_Mississippi River_
_Atlantic Ocean_
_Lake Superior_
_Pike's Peak_
_Strawberry Hill_.

Note that the generic terms ocean, lake, mountain and the like are
capitalized only when they are an actual part of the name itself. We
would say "_The Atlantic Ocean lies east of the United States_," but we
would say "_The states which form the North American republic look out
on two great oceans, the Atlantic and the Pacific._"
