Dr. Miller was the first president of the club. At the close of his term this letter of thankful appreciation was sent to him, signed by all the members:
“On the occasion of our first anniversary meeting, we, the undersigned members of The Westminster Club, wish to tell you of the joy it has been to us to have you as our first president. We feel that the helpfulness of the club has been in large measure due to your wise counsel, your constant thought, and your inspiring presence. We rejoice that you have been able to meet with us so many times this year, and we are glad to look forward to other meetings when you will rejoice us by your presence.
“We thank God for the years of your service as Editorial Superintendent of the Board, and for the special privilege that has been given us of coming in touch with you in your work. Some of us do not see you very often, but the same impression is made on all of us when we do see you, we feel that we are in the presence of one whose religion is so well expressed by your own words, ‘Jesus and I are friends.” By your words, by acts, by your sympathetic letters, you bring us into His presence.
“We thank you for the gift of remembrance sent us this evening. Your photograph will be a treasured possession, as your friendship is a cherished fact.”
