Professor W. Brenton Greene, D.D., of Princeton Theological Seminary, after twenty five years of intimate association with him, said reverently:
“If I dared let any man embody my idea of our Lord, I should find myself unconsciously turning to Dr. Miller for such embodiment. We can try to follow him only afar off, but it is one of God’s best gifts to us that we have been given such an example of Christ likeness.”
In 1909 – in the chapter on the death of Moses, as printed in the second volume of “Devotional Hours with the Bible” – Dr. Miller said:
“Let us seek to make our lives immortal, not in shafts and monuments, not in riches and earthly honours, but by making the world better, by putting touches of beauty into our lives, by teaching and blessing little children, by encouraging the wary and disheartened, and by comforting human sorrow. Then we shall need no grave, with its marble memorial, to keep our name alive. We shall live in the things we have done.”
So Dr. Miller lives on the earth today, and will live while the earth stands. For though his name may in time be forgotten, the work that God enabled him to do will never perish.
