Hodegetria (OcijyTjTpia, the f/uide) is the name which the ( irciks give to a painting, said to have been the '\vork of St. Luke, because Michael Pal;eologus, upon his entry at Constantinople, after the defeat of the Latins, had this portrait borne in advance, he and his army fol- lowing on foot. The Virgin IMary is also worshipped under this name by the Sicilians, especially at jMessina. At Eome they erected and dedicated a church to her, generally called the Constantinopolitan Church.— Fuhr- mann, HandirOiierh. d. Kirchengesch. ii, 320 ; Broughton, Biblioth. Hist. Sac. i, 495.

Hodges, Cyrus Whitman, a Baptist clergy- man, was born in Leicester, Yt., July 9, 1802. At the age of twenty he was licensed to preach in Brandon, Vt., and in the autumn of that year accepted an invitation to preach at Minerva for a year. In connection with this work he pursued his ministerial studies under the Eev. Daniel O. Morton, at Shoreham, but so anxious was he to be fully engaged in the work of his calling that he abandoned the idea of a full course of study. He, however, diUgently improved such opportunities as he had, and his literary and theological acquisitions be- came quite respectable. He was ordained in Chester, Warren Co., N. Y., in 1824, and remained there three years. He preached two years in Arlington, Yt. ; four j'ears in Shaftesbury; four years in Springfield; six years in AVestport, N. Y. ; and live years in Bennington, Vt. Thence he went to Bristol, where he finished his career. He died April 4, 18.51. He was a true Christian pastor; he believed heartily, entirely. His sincerity, his thorough consecration to his work, was the true secret of his effective and useful ministry. In 1850 Mr. Hodges published a small volume of sermons. — Sprague, AiiiudK, vi, 724.
Hodges, Joseph, a Baptist minister, was born at Norton, iNIass., May 19, 1806, and was a graduate of Waterville College in the class of 1830. He took the full course of study at the Newton Theological Institu- tion (1830-33). and was licensed to preach by the Church at Canton, Mass., in April, 1831. He was ordained at Weston, Nov. 18, 1835, and was pastor of tlie Church in that place four years (1835-39). He had pastorates of a shorter or longer duration at Amherst, Coleraine, Three Rivers, Palmer, East Brookfiekl, and North Ox- ford, all in Massachusetts, for fifteen years (1840-55). For six years (1855-61) he was an agent of the Amer- ican and Foreign Bible Society. He died at Cambridge, Mass., Aug. 23, 1863.
Hodges, ^A^alter, D.D., a clergj-man of the Hutch- iusonian school and provost of Oriel College, Oxford, ilourislied about the middle of the last centurj-. He jirovokc'il a great deal of attention by his Elihu, or an Inquirji into the principcd Scope and Besir/n of the Book of Job (London, !< 50, 4to; 1751, 8vo ; 3d ed. 1756, 12mo, and others), in which he endeavored to show that Elihu is the Son of God, a discovery which he supposed would throw great light on the book of Job, and solve the con- troversies respecting the doctrines which have been agi- tated thereupon. He wrote also The Christian Plan (2d pdit., with additions, and with other theological pieces, London, 1775, 8vo), a no less curious work than the one above mentioned, though it failed to produce so much sensation. "The whole meaning and extent of the Christian plan he represents as embodied, accorcUng to
his interpretation, in the Hebrew Elohim." The other theological pieces in the addenda of this work are on the historical account of David's life ; and on Sheol, or concerning the Place of depuj-ted Souls betiveen the Time of their Dissolution and the general Resurrection ; also, Orutio hubita in domo convocationis. — Kitto, Cyclop, ii, 317; Darling, C^cfo;j. jBiMo^r. i, 1604 ; AUibone, iJec/. o/ Authors,\,ho-i.

Hodgson, Bernard, LL.D., principal of Hertford College, is the author of Solomon's Song, translated from the JJebretv (Oxford, 1785, 4to), in which his chief de- sign has been to give as literal a rendering of the orig- inal as possible. Also, The Proverbs of Solomon, trans- lated from the Hebrew, with Notes (Oxford, 1788, 4to) :— Ecclesiastes, a neio translation from the original Hebrew (Oxford, 1791, 4to). The notes are few in number, and are principally devoted to verbal criticism. — Kitto, Cy- clopevdia, ii, 317.
Hodgson, Robert, D.D., was dean of Carlisle in 1820, but the date of his birth is not known. He pub- lished mainly his sermons (London, 1803-42), and edited the works of his uncle, bishop Porteus, of London, with his life (Lond. 1816, 6 vols. 8vo), of whom he also ])ul)- lished a biography (Lond. 1811, 8vo). He died in 1.S44. —WYihowc, Diet, of Authors, i,858.
