(In the day of affliction, to have an enlightened, affecti...)
In the day of affliction, to have an enlightened, affectionate, and pious friend, capable of soothing our pains and beguiling our sorrows; especially to have the companion of our bosom, that “friend that sticketh closer than a brother” (Prov. 18:24), of this character, is an inestimable blessing. Many a man, by the tender endearments, and the prudent counsel, of a faithful wife, has been guarded from important mistakes, and even snatched from destruction. But the wife of this afflicted saint was of a very different character. Instead of the soother and lightener of his woes, she became his tormenter. Instead of pointing him to the proper sources of consolation, she tempted him to despair and death. How destitute at once of the softness of her sex, the affection of a companion, and the decorum, to say nothing of the purity of virtue, must that woman have been, who could approach her husband, already overwhelmed by sorrow, with such language as this,” ‘Dost thou still retain thine integrity?’ Wilt thou still serve a master who, in return for all thy faithfulness, has treated thee so unkindly? ‘Curse God, and die’ (Job 2:9)1 Set at defiance that power which has now done its worst. Live no longer in dependence upon him who has loaded thee with miseries. Be thine own deliverer. Take refuge in a voluntary death from a world which offers thee nothing but evil.” Here appears to be a direct and explicit proposal of suicide.2 And if ever there was a man who might either wisely or innocently have resorted to this mode of terminating his sufferings, perhaps Job was that man. The most abject poverty stared him in the face. The negligence and derision of his former acquaintances must have made him almost willing to fly forever from the sight of man. The strongest ties which bound him to the world had been broken in the loss of his property, and in the death of his children. A distressing, and apparently incurable, disease rendered all future enjoyment of life hopeless. And the only near relative which a bereaving providence had left him, was a grief instead of a comfort. Many a modern infidel would, no doubt, pronounce these circumstances an abundant justification of suicide, and would readily join this woman in her wicked proposal, “Curse God, and die” (Job 2:9). But Job “feared God, and eschewed evil” (Job 1:1). He had the magnanimity of a man, and the fortitude of a believer. He, therefore, firmly and indignantly replied, “Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?” (Job 2:10)

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Samuel Miller was a son of Rev. John and Margaret (Millington) Miller, and a brother of Edward Miller. His grandfather, John Miller, a Scotchman, had emigrated to America in 1710, and was later a sugar refiner and distiller. Samuel's paternal grandmother was a great-grand-daughter of John Alden. Samuel was born on October 31, 1769, near Dover, Delaware.
Samuel Miller received his education chiefly at home from his father and brothers, pursued the studies of the senior year in the University of Pennsylvania (1788 - 89), and then studied theology under his father and after his death in 1791, under Rev. Charles Nisbet, first principal of Dickinson College. Following the appearance of his Brief Retrospect of the Eighteenth Century (1803), a scholarly two-volume work published before he was thirty-five years old, he received the honorary degree of doctor of divinity from Union College and from the University of Pennsylvania.
On June 5, 1793, Miller was ordained to the Presbyterian ministry and became associated with Dr. John Rodgers and Dr. John McKnight in a collegiate pastorate of the Presbyterian congregations of New York City. For years he urged a separation of the three churches Wall Street, Brick, and Rutgers Street and he regarded his efforts to this end, achieved in 1809, as his most important service in New York. Thereafter, until 1813, he acted as sole pastor of the Wall Street congregation, which later became the First Presbyterian Church. After 1813, he was professor of church history and government in Princeton Theological Seminary, of which he had been one of the founders.
In 1809, he became chaplain of the first regiment of New York State artillery, and he was long official historian of the Presbyterian General Assembly, which in 1806 made him its moderator. He was a trustee of Columbia College and of the College of New Jersey, a founder and later a president of the New York Bible Society, a founder and corresponding secretary of the New York Historical Society, and a corresponding member of the Massachusetts Historical Society.
Miller was the founder of the Princeton Theological Seminary. He owed much of his fame to his extraordinary energy and activity. For many years he delivered several long addresses a week, made frequent and prolonged pastoral calls, conducted a voluminous correspondence, and in addition contributed to the religious press and published dozens of books and pamphlets. His success in preserving his never robust health during these labors is ascribed to his exact and systematic ordering of every detail of each day. His literary activities made him widely known in America and Great Britain. He was made a corresponding member of the Philological Society of Manchester, England. Though his larger literary productions were mainly historical and biographical, his writings covered a broad range.

(THE SERMON DELIVERED AT THE INAUGURATION OF THE REV. ARCH...)
(Book by Miller, Samuel)
Samuel's early pamphlets discussed slavery, suicide, novel-reading, education of students for the ministry, and other diverse topics. At Princeton he wrote on such multifarious subjects as Free Masonry, sea kale, social amusements, religious fasting, domestic happiness, temperance, and the theatre.
Miller impressed his contemporaries by his cultured and urbane manner; he was at home in any circle. Somewhat lacking in imagination, he had a quick perception, a retentive memory, sound judgment, and much common sense. He was an acceptable but not a striking preacher; his sermons were well considered and evenly balanced. At Princeton he left a tradition of clear and intelligent teaching and of ability to retain the confidence and affection of his students.
On October 24, 1801, Miller married Sarah, daughter of Jonathan Dickinson Sergeant, attorney-general of Pennsylvania. They had ten children, one of whom was Rev. John Miller.
