Sir W. Robertson Nicoll paid his tribute in the columns of The British Weekly:
“Dr. Miller of Philadelphia, who may be justly called the most popular religious writer of his time, has passed away. There never, we should suppose, was a man who worked harder. He was Editorial Superintendent of the Presbyterian Board of Publication, and his duties in this connection might well have absorbed his whole time and strength, for he had to supervise all the Sunday school literature and all the books put forth by the Board, and these were many. In addition, he was himself a voluminous author. In the United States and in this country these books have literally sold by the million, and they have been translated into many languages. But Dr. Miller was not content with these achievements. He continued to be a Christian pastor, and he had built up in succession three prosperous congregations…We need not characterize his writings; they are more tender, winning and consoling, and have moved many to more faithful labour and more patient endurance.”
