The Sunday School Times – whose editorial columns Dr. Miller enriched by scores of articles which later became chapters in his books – said:
To serve the commonest needs of the many calls for a very uncommon man – he does it best in whom Christ shines forth most clearly. And Christ was the secret of the utterly unusual service to everyday men and women which Dr. J.R. Miller rendered through the long and fruitful lifetime which has now ceased in the flesh, to be glorified in richer measure beyond. Dr. Miller’s mission in writing seemed to be to give out the simple things of God for which a hundred thousand hearts were hungering. His spirit was always childlike; therefore he could help many. And his writings had the rare quality of universal service because his personal life was ceaselessly serving in the same way. His individual ministries of love to men and women about him were indefatigable. His life was one of the most remarkable, in its high pressure efficiency and output, of our generation. As author, editor, pastor and friend, he seemed to accomplish all the time about twice as much as most men, and never be hurried or strained as he did it. His life was a challenge and a benediction, a rebuke and comfort, to those who knew him well. The Saviour who was his life showed himself forth marvelously through Dr. Miller, as He will through anyone who is as eager as Dr. Miller was to let Christ live in him and serve through him.”
