Extract

Preaching in Edinburgh on 8 October 1885 at the clothing ceremony of two Mercy nuns, Fr. William Humphrey SJ, the convert-chaplain of the episcopalian bishop of Brechin, used the following extract from Psalm XLIV as his theme:

Hearken, O daughter and see

And incline thine ear,

And forget thy people and thy father’s house

And the King shall desire thy beauty.

(v. 11–12)
