Rear hub for easy riding uphill ?

I have a classical German city bike of 70-es with Sturmey Archer 3 speed rear hub.
I live on the top of the hill so it is difficult for me to ride home :-)
Will it be more easy if I replace the hub with Sturmey Archer 8 speed XRD8 ?
I have some doubts because they write that "Gear 1 - 100% (Direct Drive) " and maximum sprocket is 25.
I already changed the rear sprocket to 22 but I want more effect.
I want to go uphill very slowly but very easy. :-)
If XRD8 will not help then which hub could work for this case ?
