The author of this hymn, William
'Cowper, was born a't Great Berkham
stead, England, in ' 1731. His father
was rector ofthe parish. His mother.,
•died when he •was.six &ne1 that was
the first series of bitter'sbrrows, He
was sent to. Westminster School,
•when he was ten, and his extremely
.sensitive disposition made him the ob-
ject of rFd.icule and persecution from
the rougher lads there. Later he stud.
ied law and was admitted to the bar
in 1754 but seems to have made no
serious attempt to practise.` The qual-
ities of assurance anduick decision,
,
so necessary to success in the legal
'profession, were quite lacking in hini.
Ever since his twentieth year Cow-
per hadShown signs of brain 'disease
and throughout life was clouded with
this affliction. He becanie,a victim of
;melancholia and suffered unutterable
anguish, His condition became such.
that There was nothing left .but to
send him to an asyltun, The sympa-
thetic treatment he received there en-
abled hini to recover, at least, to such
an -extent, that the delusions faded,
and after a convalescence of less than
twoyears he left the institution.
Cowper, wasfortunate ih his friend-
ships. Rev.Mr. Unwin and his family,
who had previously shown flim much
kindness, gladly received him int°
their home and treated him with great
tenderness. Soon afterwards he form-
ed a frrendthip with Rev, John New-
ton, curate of a nearby parish, Dif-
ferent as
if-ferent'as the two mien were in malty
respects, they yet had much in cosu-.:
mon and their friendship wasp' prob-
ably . the brightest spot in Cowper's
sad life. Newton was himself a great
hymn -writer. He wrote such favour-
ites as: "How Sweet the Name of
Jesus Sounds," Glorious Things of
Thee Are Spoken" and many others,
l=ie saw the necessity of keeping Cow-
per's mind occupied and it was he
who suggested that the two should
compose a series of hymns together,
..very famous collection, widely
known. as the "Only Hymns,” was
the result,' Of the collection of four
hundred and fifteen hymns, Newton t,
wrote three hundred' and forty-nine
and Cowper sixty-six, but the quality
of Cowper's work seems to have been
the better, for more of his hymns
have become famous than those of
Newton's.
Newton induced Cowper to do some
parish work. He visited the sick, con-
ducted week -day meetings and com-
posed many hytiins to be sung after
the sermon. 13ut oncegain the mel-
ancholy fits` took possession of Cow-
per. It is generally 'agreed that the
hymn "God moves in a mysterious
way" was written --after Cowper had,
made an attempt at suicide, The hymn
was written about the year x7.73 and
is one of his best-known. Other
hymns of his which are found in near-
ly all hymnals are t "There is a foun-
tain •tilled with blood," "Sonne time a
light surprises," "0 for a closer walk
with God," "Hark, my soul, it is the
Lord," and "Jests, where'er thy peo-
ple meet." Cowper lived to be sixty-
nine : and while his last days were
clouded he did spend many years of
quiet and: usefulness• in the evening of
:his, life, •,,
;God: moves. in a mysterious way
His wonders ao perform; •
He plants .His footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm,
!Deep in unfathomable mines
Of •never -failing skill
He treasures up His bright designs
' And works His sovereign will.
Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;
The clouds ye so much dread
Are: big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.
fudge. not the Lordby feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.
His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding; every hour;
The bud may havea bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.
Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan His work in vain;
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain. Amen.

*BID Grimm'e Progress" Is a picturIzstion' by. Film Booking OMiaes Off-
America, Inc-, (F. B. 0.) of Hw G. Witwer'e stories of the same name.
SYNOPSIS
Bid; Grimm, the leading heavy-
weight challenger under the tutel-
age of Butch Ford, is engaged to
Barbara Baxter.' Pansy Pilkington,
Bill's friend and Follies star, in-
duces Carlton Herne, her wealthy
admirer, to finance a motion pic-
ture for her and Bill. Fairfax,
Bill's enemy, gets him into a jam
by getting Hof/ntan, a heavyweight
sensation, to box w'tth Bill in the
movie ()linen.
'The night before the filming of
this ' big punch climax," which was
to cause me so much disaster, J.
managed to get Barbara Baxter to
go for a auto;•ride with me. Before
we'd covered a dozen miles I'd told
her all about the jam Jack Fair-
fax had foxed me into, and I beg-
ged her to come over to the studio
and see this fight the following day.
The next day the studio was as
crowded as a can of sardines, and
getting inside was no mean feat.
Instead of a audience composed ofc
hired extras the ring was surround-
ed by experts,'. blown -in -the -flask
fans and everybody else which by
hook or crook had managed to
crash the gate.
Butch` Ford kept hoping that
Young Hoffman would . take a run-
out
unout powder on Fairfax as soon as
he figured what a sap he'd be to
box me 1n a movie when he could
get a raft of doubloons for meeting
me in a ring. • But this hope was
without theslightest foundation,
for Young Hoffman turned up on
time, with his pilot, Fairfax, and
e couple of handlers. I heard after-
ward this Iittle stunt had cost Fair-
fax a even ten thousand' dollars.
The scenario called for WS be -
Sy v.11h a right, hook, missed him
a Loot and promptly sprawled on
nit face in the rosin.
Pansy was supposed to jump into
the ring, stop the fight and expose
the vi11aln which hadt doped me.
As per the story, Pansy: hopped in
Mit the next second she'd scream•
ed in alarm when Young Hoffman
brushed her roughly aside and
went to work on me again. A lucky
swing of mine caught hini on .the
side (at the head and he .crashed
into the ropes to relbound,, into !i
clinch. It must of looked shriek
inglv funny when I • yawned in his:
face.
Our charming directors, which

to realize that things
was ` all out of order, was clanging
the bell frantically, but neither me
or Hoffman give it a tumble. I wa&
too sleepy and Hoffman wanted to
finish me, bell or no bell. I got the..
bright idea that the only way to
get rid of this jabbing, hooking
gorilla in front of me was to knock
him dead. It took a few seconds
for that great thought to get firmly
planted in my pounding head, but
once it did I acted on it. Hoffman
stepped back out of the clinch, and
with probably tijie greatest effort "°^•
I ever made in my life, I grimly
rallied• myself. and stood toe to toe:
with him. while we slugged madly
like a couple of stevedores on a
dock.
I missed a right to the face, !rat
landed a hard left to the body, take
ing two stiff lefts to the mouth ing
return. ('i'he next day I had to get
a coupleof loose teeth pulled on
account of them two clouts.) Hoff
man sent another wicked left' to

my dressing -room before the fight,
and this Thomas foolery was just
one of the thousand things I'd hol-
lered at as being ridiculous. It
was not only old stuff; it was well
nigh impossible for a thing like
that to happen in real life, and 1
knew the case-hardened fightfans
would laugh their heads off when
they seen me pull' that doped busi-
ness in the movie. But our diiec
for told me that it supplied the
proper menace, "was great dra-
matic stuff, and as it had goaled.
'em hundreds of times before there
was no reason why it wouldn't
goal 'em again."
Well; while the cameras clicked
merrily away, I took the drink sup-
posed to be doped—and almost dm -
mediately I got dazed and sick at
my stomach! Don't grin; it was
far from a joke, as 'I'll soon show
you. I staggered around the dress-
ing -room, and in a -dim haze I heard
our director howling that my "act-
ing" was simply marvelous. I tried
to tell Butch there was something
most decidedly wrong, but my
tongue got twisted and my mum-
blings was meaningless. Like a
man in a dream, I could feel my-
self being half shoved through the
ropes into the ring to meet the
smiling Young Hoffman, which
stood waiting, alert and confident.
The sport writers were watching
me with . puzzled looks , on their
faces, but on Jack Fairfax's face
was a triumphant leer.
Stumibiing around and shaking
my head to try and clear away the
cobwebs, 1 heard the bell and with
it Butch's Shrill shriek, "Stop—this
here's a frame-up," There was a
rising roar from the crowd, and I
seen not one, but three or four
'Young Hoffmans and every one of
'em was socking me plenty. I just
couldn't seem to snap into it, and
I kept doing a Leon Errol all over
the ring while Hoffman followed
bee up, ripping in rights and lefts
that shook me from head to heel.
A.torrid right uppercut dropped me
to my knees, and I got up without
a Count a sick boy.
But b
y
in-
stinct I covered my head with my
gloves to protect it from the hurri-
cane of blows I knew would follow
tfiat knockdown.
The hurricane came, all right, but
somehow I managed to weather the
punches and hang on to Young
Hoffman for my life. I didn"t seem
to be nearly as much hurt as I was
annoyed. I was terribly Sleepy,
could hardlyhold my eyes open,
and this Hoffman was keeping me
awake. Then the shouting of the
crowd begin to get me sore.
"Why don't this palookaknock
me kicking and be done with it?"
Y thought dreamily. Both gloves
locked around Hoffman's heaving
body, I glared over his shoulder at
the mob, but everything was a blur

Hoffman begin to give ground 1
just grinned at him sleepily. We
both missed lefts, and then I up-
percut Hoffman twice with my
right and the second one changed
him from a fighting fool into a set-
up. He had the sleeping sickness,
too, now, and with great difficulty
I picked out one of his many chins
dancing before me and shot my '
pay-off right hook at it. The next
thing I knew the ring took a few
terrific whirls around and around
and the canvas rose right up and
smacked me in the face. Then-
total blackness and peace and quiet
at last.
When I come to Iife again I was
laying flat on my back in the ring
with my head in Barbara's lap.
That part of it was okay with. me,
but Butch Ford was dousing my
face with icy water, and I''weakly
waved him to lay off. I still had
a dull roaring in my head, and on
top of that I'd picked up a horrible
taste in my mouth. I seen Oarl-
ton Herne, Pansy, Left Hook
O'Brien and Shifty Jones in the
crowd around me. Everybody's
face had a anxious look on it. Jack
Fairfax was not among those pres' `
ent.
"Well, c'mon, 1 got to hear it
some time," I says faintly. "Did
Young Hoffman stop me?"
"It was the other way round,
Billy" grins Butch. "Hoffman's out
yet—you socked him pretty before
you went to sleep You knocked
that banana cold and then curled
up yourself for a little shut -eye."
"Who put me to sleep?" 1 In-
quired, with some natural curiosi-
ty. "This guy," snarls Butch,
pointing. I stared upward and lean
our very frightened -looking direc-
tor held by Left Hook and Shifty.
,Barbara, smoothing back my hair,
spoke in my ear. "I ran to your
dressing -room and gotthat liquid
you drank just before you entered
the ring," she tells me. "It was
chloral hydrate; I've saved enough
of it 'for evidence."
"But why should anybody give
me -knockout drops?' I interrupted '
dizzily, and rememberedmbered I

the
guy which claimed such a thing

so he slipped you a little chloral.
This master mind says he, didn't
think it would make no difference
in the fight, es he figured ,Young

"Hoffman was told totake a

speaks up our director nervously.
