Dr. Miller was so busy ministering to others that he would seldom take time for a vacation. His pastoral work and his editorial duties were so pressing that they convenient season for vacation was usually just a little bit in the future. The thought of the sick who needed him and the homes from which some one might be called from earth held him in the city when the homes of many of his people were closed for a period; desire to give personal supervision to the editorial work committed to him by the Church kept him at his desk when his assistants were at the seaside or in the mountains.
Yet he never lost sympathy with others as they planned for vacation journeying. It was not his way to insist that vacations were a foolish waste of time, – he urged others to take the rest they required, the reward of earnest toil, and the preparation for further toil, but when he was urged to take his own advice, his only reply would be a smile.
