But the busy man could not be satisfied out of the pulpit. Every Sunday he was busy in some church, after a week whose evenings were spent calling on those who needed his help. To a Philadelphia pastor he wrote of his desire to keep his Sundays occupied:
“You know I am now free from Sunday work and I need not say to you that at any time when I can relieve you either for one service or for a whole Sunday when you want to rest a little, it will not only be a privilege but a real pleasure to me to do it. I would not accept compensation for any such service.”
A few weeks after concluding his work at Hollond Dr. Miller moved with his family to Germantown, one of the delightful residence sections of Philadelphia. He had made up his mind not to accept an active pastorate. He thought he might learn of some little church that needs him where he might preach once a Sunday, conduct a Bible class, and do pastoral work.
