434 I'IFE OF SIR ROWLAND HILL.<br />

<strong>Hill</strong> lies buried. In <strong>the</strong> great city hard by his statue<br />

will, before long, st<strong>and</strong> in <strong>the</strong> very centre <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> trade<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> world. In <strong>the</strong> charity that so many <strong>of</strong> his<br />

have founded for <strong>the</strong> relief <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> widows<br />

countrymen<br />

<strong>and</strong> orphans <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> servants <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Post Office his<br />

memory will be kept alive. But so long as men keep<br />

warm feelings, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> name <strong>of</strong> home has still its<br />

charm ; so long as <strong>the</strong>re are sorrowful partings <strong>and</strong><br />

hearts that need comforting ;<br />

so long as our high aim<br />

is towards peace on earth, good will toward men,<br />

<strong>Rowl<strong>and</strong></strong> <strong>Hill</strong> is not likely to be forgotten. For he<br />

has done almost more than any o<strong>the</strong>r man to bring<br />

near those who are far <strong>of</strong>f, to bind <strong>the</strong> nations toge<strong>the</strong>r,<br />

<strong>and</strong> to make <strong>the</strong> whole world kin.
