What time I am afraid, I will put
my trust in thee.
--(Psalms 56:3)
Let us calmly undertake the tasks
that we have been running from. God
opens the way, and as we face what
seems to be impossible, fears vanish,
and we are free.
His life was gentle,
and the elements
So mixed in him that
Nature might stand up
And say to all the world,
"This was a man!"
Such a man was J. E. Millis,
gentle in his daily life, in his family
life and in his business life; gentle
in his many community and civic
associations and in his contributions
to his church, and to his state and
country in the field of government.
One could not leave his presence
without feeling that there was a
gentile gentleman.
Mixed in him were other ele
ments of h\xmility--a strong Chris
tian faith, a quiet peaceful disposi
tion, a willingness to help with any
problem too trifling for others and
yet to find no task too big for him
to lend a hand or to direct.
He was generous with his time,
his talents, and his material posses
sions. In giving of these, he sought
the opportunity to help others in a
quiet, unassviming manner rather
than for pomp and recognition. With
all of his success in his many fields
of endeavor, he remained a modest
person.
He was dependable. His business
associates, his employees, his friends
and his community could depend upon
him as always ready to carry out his
duties and responsibilities.
His determination to continue
active despite physical odds was an
inspiration and challenge to those
possessed with stronger bodies.
Possessing all of these and
never forgetting devotion to his
family, J. E. Millis left a life so
full of a mixture of the elements
that Nature is surely standing up and
saying, "This was a man!"
