ORIGIN OF GREAT HYMN
Poet Cowper Wrote Under Inspiration
of Belief In Divine Sign. So

Cowper. the poet. suffered a disap-
pointment early In life, the influence
OF which Swallowed his entire career,
and, toward the last, threatened In
sanity. 1t Is related by some of his
biographers that Cowper became inn
pressed with the idea that he was d.
vinely instructed to drown himself In
the River Ouse He ordered his car
riage and was being driven toward the
river when, in some unexplained way.
the driver--a new one-missed his way:
and Cowper, finding his purpose de-
feated. took 1t as sign that the plan
was of the devil. Greatly relieved. no
drove back home. and wrote the wells
known hymn:
God moves in q mysterious way /.
His wonders to perform; -
He plants His footsteps in the sea, 4
And rides upon the storm"
Cowper lived to be over sixty. and
never again, as far as known, had a
recurrence Of the attack. Such Is the
story. which we give without guaran-t
tee OF its accuracy. ~
