One of the Philadelphia morning papers printed conspicuously a letter from Rev. Frank De Witt Talmage, D.D., in which he said:
“I doubt if there is a living minister in all the world who has done a greater work, or who is more internationally known, than the Rev. J.R. Miller, of this city, who is celebrating his seventieth anniversary. In the ecclesiastical life he is the marvel of the age. He has done the work of ten men, and yet today he is working harder than ever.
“While others have been attending banquets or sitting by their firesides of an evening, his tireless feet have been tramping the streets of the city calling upon the sick and like Paul carrying the gospel into many homes.
“I do not think it is an exaggerated statement to make that his name is known farther and loved more than that of any other Philadelphian, be he more than that of any other Philadelphian, be he lawyer, merchant, or minister. Of all the great ministers of the past not one has wielded greater influence for good. The whole city should be thankful for the noble life of this wonderful man.”
