W. A. H1LLIS ' 1856 — 1930
REV. W. A. HILLIS passed away on November 20, 1930, at his home, 1124 LaVeta Terrace, Los Angeles. Funeral services were held at the Bible Institute on November 22, and the body Was laid to rest in Inglewood Cemetery. Although “Daddy” Hillis had been ill for several weeks, his hundreds of friends were unprepared for the news of his sudden Home-going. Sympathy is expressed for Mrs. Hillis, as well as for the daughters, Mary and Joy, who were formerly students at Biola. As a young man, Mr. Hillis spent many years in pioneer Sim- day-school missionary work in the Northwest. Later he was affiliated with the Moody Bible Institute as field representative, and more recently he served the Bible Institute of Los Angeles. His friends will remember his far-reaching ministry in the preparation and distribution of tracts and also his personal and unusually helpful contacts with students. His office was a place where young people came freely for counsel and prayer, and his home was a center for social gatherings, praise, and testimony. Hundreds of young men and women, now in far distant lands, will remember the hours of Christian fellowship spent there.
