remembrance of his unwearied labors during seventeen years,
his serene resignation under no ordinary trials, his blameless
and useful life, his prompt attention to every call of distress,
his faithful and fearless reproof of the sinner. His disregard
of personal ease when any work of charity required his services,
and his peculiar ability in engaging the attention and affection
of the young, and in imbuing them with a deep reverence for
the words of everlasting salvation.

"Blessed are those servants whom the Lord, when He cometh, shall find watching."

Richard Hill was the first minister of St James' and served in that capacity from the consecration of the church in 1824 until his sudden death aged 54 while on duty in May 1836.[5] The following month, William Broughton was enthoned as Bishop of Australia in the church, which was still "in deep mourning" for Hill.[5]

Devoting the intervals of duty to science, and the promotion of charity, education and religion, with numerous family, and a circle of friendships continually enlarging, he so fulfilled the obligations of every office, and every relation of a life extended beyond life's ordinary term; and by his ability and public zeal, his probity, benevolence, and unaffected kindliness, to win the praise of those whose praise was honor; to secure the respect and regard of his fellow citizens, and to endear himself most wherever most intimately known.
But in and above all it was his aim and end,
looking humbly to his author and finisher of his faith,
to obtain the testimony that, in Christ, "he pleased God."
