in hope of life eternal." --Jer. Taylor.

Syn: Where.

Usage: Whither, Where. Whither properly implies motion to
place, and where rest in a place. Whither is now,
however, to a great extent, obsolete, except in
poetry, or in compositions of a grave and serious
character and in language where precision is required.
Where has taken its place, as in the question, "Where
are you going?"
