A Philadelphia pastor who had known him for many years said:
“I was a lad when Dr. Miller came to Bethany and I have been honoured with his friendship ever since. I know of no man in the ministry of our Church who has been so varied and abundant in his work, and whom God so richly and manifestly blessed in ever department of his work. His editorial and literary work has had a world wide fame, and deservedly so. The effect of whatever he wrote, whether in the form of tract, magazine, or book, was edifying and comforting. His writing resulted in character building on the one hand, and the building up of broken hearts on the other. Eternity alone can reveal the extent of the cheer, the encouragement, the inspiration and the comfort which he produced by personal word or by his pen.
“Our own home in very recent days has been blessed with his words of comfort in the time of sore bereavement and deep sorrow. He was truly a ‘son of consolation.’
“But Dr. Miller not only had a great heart, he has also a great mind. Generations yet to come will acknowledge this as his editorial and literary works are more leisurely reviewed. It is acknowledged everywhere now, but his reputation in this regard will be much wider later on.”
