William Lovell Hull
William Lovell Hull was a Canadian Christian minister. Hull was born to W. F. Hull and Annie Lovell. He was educated at Kelvin High School. He married Lillian Pachal of Winnipeg on 6 November 1916. After working in Winnipeg for some years, and being ordained to the ministry, he moved to Jerusalem in 1935 having received a "call from God" during a service at Zion Apostolic Church. The Reverend Hull devoted the next twenty-seven years to missionary work in Jerusalem. In 1947, Hull significantly influenced Justice Ivan C. Rand (1884–1969), the Canadian member of the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine, to understand and positively support the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine, which was among the factors in the creation of the State of Israel. In 1962, Hull was the spiritual counselor to Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann during Eichmann's trial in Israel and following his conviction and death sentence. He attended Eichmann's execution. Hull returned to Canada later that year and wrote The Struggle for a Soul about his experiences with Eichmann. The Reverend Hull retired to Simcoe, Ontario, Canada, in 1963. He died September 1, 1992, and was interred with his wife, in Oakwood Cemetery, Simcoe.[citation needed] Sourceshttps://es.findagrave.com/memorial/73951751/william-lovell-hull http://www.kelvinhistory.org/Hall%20of%20Fame/?id=66 https://www.worldcat.org/title/struggle-for-a-soul/oclc/561109771 https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/000413898 https://www.jpost.com/premium/the-reverend-the-justice-and-the-mass-murderer http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/people/hull_wl.shtml http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,896195,00.html https://collections.vhec.org/Detail/objects/2362 Works
