The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day;, And there have I, as vile as he, Wash'd all' my sins away. Dear dying Lamb l Thy precious Blood Shall never lose its power, Till all the ransom'd Church of God Be saved, to sin no more. E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die. Then , in a nobler, sweeter song I'll sing thy power to save, When this poor lisping, stammering tongue L les silent in the grave, e av . g Lord, I believe Thou hast prepared, Unworthy thought I be, For me a blood -bought free reward, A golden harp for me: 'Tis strung and tuned for endless.. years, And form'd by power divine, To sound in God the Father's ears, No other Naive but Thine. The life of William Cowper, the writer of this beautiful hymn, is one - of the tragedies of history. Gifted far above the average with literary, especially poetical, ability, his reason was so delicately poised that at times he passed into insanity, and he al- ways needed to be delicately nurtured and tended. At six he lost his bro- ther, and the loss was irreparable to the nervous weakly little lad. His father was a cleryman, the rector of Berlchampstead, where William was born in 1731. At school the little fellow was bul- lied by the older scholars so ,persis- tc•ntly that his eyes were seriously af- fected by his incessant crying, and for two years he remained under the care of an oculist, Then he was sent to Westminster School, London, which is in close connection with the farnous old abbey and where many, of our hymn -writers have received their early training. Here he show- ed himself to be no invalid. He did well at cricket and football, and was a favorite because of liis ready and merry wit. Warren Hastings, the fa- mous Indian administrator, was one of his schoolfellows and chums. Leaving school he entered a law- yer's office and studied for the bar. During this period he fell in love with his cousin, Theodora Cowper, sister of Lady Hesketh, and sorne of his earliest poems were inspired by her. However, the lady's father interposed and forbade further communication between the young people. Fits of melancholy became more ft equent with him, and life was fur- ther darkened by his father's death which involved the loss of his in- come, His writing of ballads and poetry, and especially of satires for some of the newspapers gave .hint a living, however, and bis friends, who admired his talents secured him the offer of the appointment of Clerk of the Journal of the I -louse 'of Lords. Preparing to qualify for this import- ant position was too touch for him, however, and he became insane. The: delusion came to him that he was a castaway from, the Divine love, Al- though trained amid Calvanistic sur- r'canolinos that dClttsiont never, left hint until he reacltadhis deathbed, Many years later, •Happily he was placed tender the care 'of a celebrated specialist, ,Dr. Cotton, a sincere ' .Christian, who wrote some : once popular hymns: "Afflictions is a stormy deep,” among thein.' In Dr, Cotton's garden, Cowper one day, eight months later, picked up a Bible opened at the eleventh chapter of St, John's Gospel, The entrancing story of the Raising of Lazarus aroused new interest in the brain -sick poet. He took the Bible to Vil11N GHAM'; ADVANCE. -TIMES ill l Iii 11111 i I$Ai 11$1116111Ipl I IMI I IMI I IOI I I•II 11$11111111 TheOiam.ondlubilee � d of Te swa.ter Fair ct.

That was the origin of our hymn,. although it did not appear in print for some years later, apparently in 1771.

On los recovery he went to live at ra- utntin d.+aaiwhere he formed a strong friendship with -the Rev. Mor- ley Unwin, the parish elergyinan, and with his wife, But in 1707 Mr, Un- win was killed by being thrown front his horse, and Mrs, 'trnwin removed to Olney, of which place the convert- ed sailor 'and reprobate slaver, John Newton, was rector, : and Cowper went with her as boarder. Newton enlisted Cowper as an ev- angelistieat. helper. The two Meld _ prayer -meetings and revival service; } 1 together, wrote hymns in partnership and published the famous Olney Hy- mns to which all " subsequent hymn- books have been greatly indebted. Undoubtedly Newton's sad senti- mentality and dreary,though manly theology was bad for Cowper, whose _ melancholy increased as he tended m. Mrs. Unwin through a long illness, o until insanity returned as she died. He was persuaded' to adopt several pets, notably the three hares, *hick appear in his memorial colored win- dow in Westminster Abbey, rabbits, guinea -pigs,, dogs and birds. With these and with his writings -which were generally sprightly, a sometimes merry as in the well-known "John Gilpin's Ride"—he somewhat -lighten-. ed --the heavy' depression which deep- ened at times, until the end came on, April 25, 1800. ti3 a Bishop Moule tells us: "A nephew of Cowper's, a Mr, Johnson, was wat- ching by his uncle's dying bed. ` A- bout half an hour before his death, bis face, which had been wearing a sad and hopeless expression, sudden- ly lighted up with a look of wonder and inexpressible delight. It was as if he saw his Saviour, and as if he realized the tblessed fact, 'I am not shut out of heaven `after all!' This look of holy surprise, and of, joyful adoration remained until he had pass- ed away, and even as he lay in his coffin the expression was still there. One who saw him after death, wrote that 'with the composure and calm- ness of the face, there mingled also a holy surprise.' " Cowper is reckoned among Eng- land's great poets for his fine poem, "The Task," his versions of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, his famous "Toll for the brave," on the "Loss of the Royal George," "The Castaway," and especially as a prose writer for his "Letters" and earlier writings. The tune Wiltshire bas been assoc- iated with this hymn for upwards of a hundred years. Many tunes have been sung to it and of late years a setting by Dr. Lowell Mason has been popular. But probably "Wilt- shire" associates itself with the words in the minds of the majority of the churchgoers.

Further to facilitate its speed, the Hudson locomotive, 5700 has come into being. With its eighty - inch driving wheels, the largest ever cast in Canada, 5700 has no difficulty in making more than eighty miles an tipperphotograph,taken at hour,. The the Montreal Locomotive `Works; where the giant was built and four others like it are now beim completed, shows C. E. Brooks, Chief of Motive Power, and other officers of the Canadian National Railways, and officers of the Locomotive Works, including H. C. Sutler, 1Vfanager. Their height is con- trastecl effectively with the enormous drivers in front of which they are standing. in the lower photograph 5700 is compared with the tiny work loco- motive which pulled it out of the shops to have its photograph taken. The little fellow looks almost comical beside the powerful bulk of the Hudson but for ll that it could pull the 331 tons about as part of its day's work, 5700 weighs morethan 331 tons, in fad, and is within a fraction of 92 and a half feet long. The water and coal capacity of its tender is greater than that of I any other locomotive on the System, 20 'tons of coal and 14,000 Imperial gallons of water. With the booster, the locomotive has a maximum tractive power of 53,300 pounds, and it has a boiler pressure of 275 pounds. Trim - nos -of appearance as well as power and speed has been considered in its design, and it possesses many features new in the steam locomotive history of Canada.
