One who reads these letters is ready to agree to the truth of an illuminating sentence contained in a missive to one who was struggling with doubts:
“To me religion can all be expressed in one little line, ‘Jesus and I are friends.’ That is my creed.”
Of course Dr. Miller’s daily mail was full of answering letters from those privileged to receive the wonderful messages of counsel and help. One day this came from a weary minister whose heart was weighted with woe:
“Your note is like a breath from the balsams, bringing refreshment and cheer to my dear suffering wife and to me. Now and then when riding to my appointments when I was a country pastor in eastern North Carolina, I used to come suddenly upon a little stretch of road which was made fragrant by the yellow jasmine, or bay. Your letter reminds me of such an experience, and I thank you with all my heart.”
