Every year, at Christmas, it was Dr. Miller’s custom to send a personal letter to his contributors. These were never formal. All of his helpers expected them, and they were never disappointed.
One of the letters read thus:
“I want to thank you for the great help you have been to me during the year in your work. I need not say a word in detail about what you have done. I merely thank you for it all and assure you of sincere and most hearty appreciation.
“As the Christmas comes near my heart goes out to you in special warmth and interest. You know that your relation to me has not been merely that of a writer, but that of a personal friend. It has been a high privilege to me to stand by you through the experiences of the year, experiences of pain and sorrow, many of them, and to keep you very close to my heart in sympathy, love and prayer, all the while. I want to thank you for all that you have been to me and for what I have had the privilege of being to you.
“Let me wish for you this Christmastide the sweetest blessings, with the gentlest revealing of Christ’s grace and love in your life. May it be the best year that you ever have lived. May it bring uplift to you, an uplift in courage, joy, strength, peace, victoriousness. May God bless you and make you very happy.”
