The editor of The Christian Endeavour World thus told his reader of the passing from earth of one whom he had been proud to number among his contributors:
“The death of few Americans will be more mourned than that of Rev. J.R. Miller.
“In spite of his enormous literary and editorial work Dr. Miller was always an enthusiastic and abundantly successful preacher and pastor, and has told the writer more than once that he would rather give up all his other work than this.
“Dr. Miller’s books… combine a rare sympathy with humanity, a deep appreciation of all that is best in literature, and a sturdy common sense that renders every line he ever wrote stanch and strong.
“Even more than any of these aspects of his life, those who knew Dr. Miller will cherish the memory of his personal character; it was so sweet, so strong, so true to the best ideals. A man of tireless industry, he always had time to do the little kindly acts that make up o much of the happiness of this world; and many thousands – probably many more thousands than he himself ever guess – will rise up at the last day and call him blessed.”
