heats it until it becomes luminous or
even until it is entirely consumed.

The 1SOth Psalm, used by the Roman
Catholics on going and returning from
funerals, Is declared by Jeremy Taylor
to be the Psalm OF Psalms for the sick.
II was the last psalm OF Mary Queen
of Scots, and was quoted at the last
by the judicious Richard Hooker. II
was the peculiar delight of Luther,
whose version, Aus tiefer moth schrei
ich gu Dir" was only less popular than
his Elm feste Burg" II was sung at
his funeral, and many a time 1t rallied
him and his followers IN the midst OF
despair, II was the singing Of this
psalm at st. Paul's that paved the way
for the conversion of John Wesley.
