H.W.F. Wile, Mrs. Frances Whitmarsh, Bristol Centre, New York, December 2, 1878—July 31, 1939, Rochester, New York. Married A. J. Wile in 1901. Her lovely hymn for use in winter, beginning, _All beautiful the march of days_, was written about 1907 while she was a parishioner of Rev. William C. Gannett, _q.v._, in Rochester, New York, in consultation with him, and was included in Gannett and Hosmer’s revised edition of _Unity Hymns and Chorals_, 1911, from which it passed into _The New Hymn and Tune Book_, 1914, and _Hymns of the Spirit_, 1937. H.W.F. Wiley, Hiram Ozias, Middlebury, Vermont, May 20, 1831—January 28, 1873, Peabody, [Danvers] Massachusetts. He was a Unitarian layman who practised law in Peabody from 1855 until his death, and was the author of occasional verse contributed to local newspapers. On May 17, 1865, the _South Danvers Wizard_ published his hymn beginning _He leads us on by paths we did not know_, and republished it on May 8, 1867, with a note reading “Some years ago we published the following poem, which was written for our columns by H. O. Wiley, Esq. Since then it has traversed the country in all directions, without any credit being given either to our paper or to the author. We reproduce it from a Western paper in order to correct several errors that have crept into it. Ed.” It is the only hymn included in the small volume of Wiley’s poems published as a memorial to him soon after his death. Its earliest appearance in a hymn book was in the 1873 Supp. to the Unitarian _Sunday School Hymn Book_, with the first line changed to _God leads us on, etc._, About the same time it reached England, where it passed into a number of collections without the name of the author. In Julian’s _Dictionary_, p. 1647, “J.M.” states that it appears as _Anon._ in _Our Home beyond the Tide_, Glasgow, 1878, and that in _Meth. Free. Ch. Hys._, 1889, it is attributed to “Count Zinzendorf, about 1750. Tr. H.L.L.” (Jane Borthwick) although that attribution is questioned because the hymn could not be found in any of Miss Borthwick’s translations. The mistaken attribution persisted, however, long enough to be included in the second edition of the _Pilgrim Hymnal_, in the first decade of this century. Since then the hymn has passed, in its original form and rightly attributed to Wiley, into various other collections, among them the _New Hymn and Tune Book_, 1914, and _Hymns of the Spirit_, 1937.
