The readers of The Congregationalist were told of Dr. Miller’s home-going in this paragraph:
“Dr. Miller was a teacher, a worker and a saint. His prodigious and untiring labour in various fields of industry bore abundant and lasting fruit. He had the rare gift of keeping many irons in the fire at once and keeping them warm. We have been in his office in the Witherspoon Building when he was constantly interrupted not only by his own office workers but by members of the large parish which he was serving. And, not withstanding this constant outgo of sympathy and counsel and this exercise of control, Dr. Miller was as serene and quiet as befits one’s conception of the author of books that have carried strength and comfort to many a needy heart. He not only did his editorial work well, but carried along with it the responsibility for several strong Philadelphia churches which he served in succession, devoting his evenings to parish visiting and his Sundays to preaching. No man could have thus successfully combined several important functions without loving every side of his work and without keeping in constant communication with the Source of spiritual power. We are among the multitude who loved and revered Dr. Miller and who will miss him now that his work is ended.”
