every respect Dr. Ludlow was " a mighty man," physi- cally, mentally, spiritually ; as a theologian, a preacher, and a leader of men. He was fidl of power. His intellect was like his bodily frame, massive, compact, and vigorous. His will and las emotional nature were equally strong. His spirit and labors in the pulpit, in the professor's chair, at the head of the university, and in public bodies, were always direct, well ordered, and indomitable. " He adorned every relation that he sus- tained, and was one of the very finest specimens of in- tellectual and moral nobility." — Sprague, A nnuls ; Me- morial Sermons by Drs. George W. Bethune, Isaac Ferris, and W. J. R. Taylor ; Corwin, Manual of the Reformed Church ; N. Y. Observer (18GG) ; A merican College Presi- dents, xliii. (W. J. R. T.)
LudlO'W, Peter, a Baptist minister, was born in Enfield, Conn., Aug. 8, 1797, of Presbyterian parentage. He was for a time a member of Princeton College, N. J. ; then began the study of law, but his religious convic- tions became so deep that he decided to become a min- ister. The distinguished Summerfield aided him in his theological studies. He joined the Baptist Church, re- ceived license, and was ordained Sept. 2, 1823 pastor of the Second Baptist Church in Providence, R. I. His contuuicd ill-health necessitated his acceptance of a call to the Baptist Church in Georgetown, S. C. He died in New York, May 6, 1837. Rev. Dr. Jackson, of Newport, says of him : " His talents were of a high order, and he was not less distinguished for his evangelical views than for his attractive and effective eloquence."

Liidolf, Job, a noted Ethiopic scholar, also a law- yer and statesman of distinguished merit, was born at Erfurt, in Thuringia, in 1624. After finishing his edu- cation, he spent several years in travelling, and subse- quently filled important stations in his native city, and under the elector palatine at Frankfort. He then de- voted himself to the completion of his works, of which his Etkioi7ic History, and his commentaries on it, his Amharic and Ethiopic Grammars, and Ethiopic Lexi- con, are the most valuable, and have universally met with the highest esteem from the learned.
Liidolpli i>E Saxonia was distinguished among the Dominican mystics of the 14th century. He entered the order about A.D. 1300, and in further pursuance of his pious devotion became a Carthusian at Strasburg. His Vita Jesu Christi has often been edited and trans- lated into various languages. He floiu-ished in Saxony, but the date both of his birth and death are unknown.
Liters, John IL, an American Roman Catholic prel- ate of great ability and note, was born at Lutten, in Oldenburg, Germany, Sept. 29, 1819, came to this coun- try' in 1833, and, after a short service as clerk, entered St. Mary's Theological Seminary at Cincinnati, Ohio, and was consecrated priest in 1846, and bishop of Fort Wayne in 1858. He deserves the commendation of all Christian people for his great zeal in behalf of educa- tional facilities for the lower classes of his Church. He was especially active during his presidency over the diocese of Northern Indiana, where he built many churches and established schools. He died in Cleve- land, Ohio, June 29, 1871.
Luft, Fjiiedrich Matthacs, a German theologian, was born at Kirch-Riisselhach, Aug. 3, 1705. In 1723 he entered the University of Altdorf, where his uncle, G. G. Zelter, was then professor of theologj' and of the Oriental languages. In 1730, when Prof. Zelter resign- ed his professorship and became pastor at Poppenreut, Luft accompanied him, and was made vicar in 1732. In 1733 he became the first chaplain at Furth, where he unexpectedly died, May 24, 1740. His death caused great grief, since his knowledge and unwearied diligence gave promise of future usefidness and eminence. He rendered great service in issuing the Bible-work of Prof. Zelter. He himself committed only a few minor pro- ductions to print, but among his papers valuable MSS.

Lugo, Juan de, a learned Spanish Jesuit and car- dinal, \vas born at jNIadrid in 1583, and for twentj^ years ■was theological professor at Rome ; was made cardinal in 1643, and died in IGGO. In his office as cardinal he was distinguished for his plain manner of life and his liberality to the poor. lie wrote De Incarnutione do- minica (Lyons, 1G33, fol.) : — De Sacramentis in genere (1G35, fol.) : — Responsorum MoraUum,Y]h.\'\ (1651, fol.) ; etc. All his works were collected in seven large folios (Venice, 1751). Pallavicini boasted of having been his pupil. Liguori names him as a theologian next to Thomas Aquinas.
Lugo's brother Francisco was also a Jesuit, and the author of several theological works. They are of minor value, however. See Hoefer, Nouv, Bior/. Gene?: xxxii, 212.
Lu'hith (Heb. LucJnlh', Ti'^TlT? [alwaj^s with the art. prefixed], prob. tahleted [see below] ; Sept. AoviiSi, but in Jer. [ninpn] 'AX«w3' v. r. 'AXaiS-), a Moabitish place (but whether a town or not is uncertain, as it is only found in the phrase " ascent of Luhith"), appar- ently situated on an eminence between Zoar and Horo- naim, on the track of the invading Babylonians (Isa. XV, 5; Jer. xlviii, 5). According to Eusebius, it lay between Areopolis and Zoar. jM. de Saulcy thinks it may be identified with a site on the hOl Kouehin, about half way up on the south side of the ravine leading north-easterly from the northern opening of the penin- sula of the Dead Sea (Narrative, i, 386, 267, and map). The position is probably not far from correct (although not between Ar and Zoar), but no such name appears on Robinson's or Zimmermann's map : it does, however, on Van de Velde's.
