John Wesley Hill

John Wesley Hill (1848–1916) was an American Congregationalist minister noted for his work as a preacher and public orator. He became widely known for sermons and religious addresses that circulated in print and were delivered to large audiences. Hill served in Congregational pastorates and was associated with prominent church life in Brooklyn, New York, including connections often made with Plymouth Church. His speaking style and moral themes placed him among the better-known Protestant voices of his era, and his published sermons helped extend his influence beyond the pulpit. He died in 1916, leaving a reputation for eloquence and devotional instruction.
