Mr. Lilly had been a Universalist in belief all his life up to within a few weeks of his death, when he became deeply concerned about his future welfare, and while his niece was praying for him, he experienced a change of heart, and for three weeks enjoyed a full hope of a blissful immortality. Just previous to departing, he called his family around him, conversed with them of the future, told of his bright hope and requested them to meet him in heaven, saying to his wife that he would be the first to greet her there. Thus passed away a good neighbor, a kind husband and father, and a good citizen. He had some bad counsel in his last illness but in spite of it came to the light and was made to rejoice, passing away in great peace. T.
