Rev. John T. McFarland, D.D., editor of the Sunday school periodicals of the Methodist Episcopal Church, was in hearty accord with these expressions. He said:
“During the last eight years of his life it was my privilege to know Dr. Miller as a brother editor of Sunday school literature, and during several of these years, on account of the close of cooperation on four offices on special work, I was intimately associated with him. I always found him thoroughly fraternal in his spirit, always anxious to work in harmony with others, generously considerate of their wishes, and rejoicing always to find that in the essentials of faith and in the aims of Christian effort, the various denominations are so nearly in accord. The Sunday school literature of his church, of which he had charge for so many years, was brought by him to a very high standard of excellence; and it was an evidence of the mental vitality and freshness which he maintained to the last that he was in keen sympathy with the advance movements in the field of religious education. He as absolutely loyal to the fundamentals of evangelical faith, but was open minded to the latest knowledge of the Bible. He was a great teacher, a tireless worker, a Christian minister utterly consecrated to the service of his divine Master, devoting to that service his undivided time and strength.”
