It was published in the _American Messenger_ in 1870, and is still in use here, as a German version of it is in Germany. The first stanza follows, in the two languages: In some way or other the Lord will provide. It may not be my way, It may not be thy way, And yet in His own way The Lord will provide. Sei's so oder anders, der Herr wird's versehn; Mag's nicht sein, wie ich will, Mag's nicht sein, wie du willst, Doch wird's sein, wie Er will: Der Herr wird's versehn. In the English version the easy flow of the two last lines into one sentence is an example of rhythmic advantage over the foreign syntax. Mrs. Cook was married to the well-known clergyman and editor, Parsons Cook, (1800-1865) in Bridgeport, Ct., and survived him at his death in Lynn, Mass. She was Miss Martha Ann Woodbridge, afterwards Mrs. Hawley, and a widow at the time of her re-marriage as Mr. Cook's second wife. _THE TUNE._ Professor Calvin S. Harrington, of Wesleyan University, Middletown, Ct., set music to the words as printed in _Winnowed Hymns_ (1873) and arranged by Dr. Eben Tourjee, organizer of the great American Peace Jubilee in Boston. In the _Gospel Hymns_ it is, however, superseded by the more popular composition of Philip Phillips. Dr. Eben Tourjee, late Dean of the College of Music in Boston University, and founder and head of the New England Conservatory, was born in Warwick, R.I., June 1, 1834. With only an academy education he rose by native genius, from a hard-working boyhood to be a teacher of music and a master of its science. From a course of study in Europe he returned and soon made his reputation as an organizer of musical schools and sangerfests. The New England Conservatory of Music was first established by him in Providence, but removed in 1870 to Boston, its permanent home. His doctorate of music was conferred upon him by Wesleyan University. Died in Boston, April 12, 1891. Philip Phillips, known as "the singing Pilgrim," was born in Jamestown, Chautauqua, Co., N.Y., Aug. 13, 1834. He compiled twenty-nine collections of sacred music for Sunday schools, gospel meetings, etc.; also a _Methodist Hymn and Tune Book_, 1866. He composed a great number of tunes, but wrote no hymns. Some of his books were published in London, for he was a cosmopolitan singer, and traveled through Europe and Australia as well as America. Died in Delaware, O., June 25, 1875.
