CoM a Lutheran minister. In one
of Mr. PtMgJwetersto Bishop
White, he siys of him: "At. our
convention jitgre was. a gentleman j
who had oeen ordfained in theLuth-!

Church ind, indeed signified that
if it should be considered invalid, he

f He ajprears to be a decent man. He
nas siice our convenuon wrote me
that Ae thinks, the soeiety would
wish (of which there are a number
of respectable clergy) a -coalition
with our Church."
"After this convention Mr. Miller
returned with new ardor to his
parochial duties, and seems to have
had great hopes of the prosperity
of the Church when Mr. Pettigrew
should be consecrated and begin his
work as, bishop. He exerted him
self to4 incline , the few Lutheran
ministers towards a plan for. union
with the Churchy and hoped I that
the influence of; ;Mr. Pettigrew
might accomplish this to the ad van
tage of all concerned. These hopes
are f indicated in his letter to Mr.
Pettigrew, dated May 6th, 1795.
But unfortunate circumstances pre
vented the "hoped-for consecration,
upon which so much seemed to de
pend, and Mr. Miller was left powr
erless to do anything for the. effec
tuar building up of. the Church. It
was many a long year before he
again saw the face of an Episcopal
minister.

ordination by the Lutherans, Mr.

artly of German Lutherans and
artly; of Churchmen who had
migrated from "Maryland about
1794 part of the eolony which
came to Kowan in that year.
It was duri ng .ihis .period of his
Lutheran ministry that he removed
to Burke' county where lie oontin
iaedjjto reside, near the site of the
present town of Lenoir, until his
death. In what year - he made this
change is unknown to" the writer,
though ' it must have ; been before
the vear 1811. He had also mar
rieda Miss JPerinsp of Lincoln
county, by vwhom he had several
children, some of whom are still
living. . ,V. . ' :: : " -' '
In 1811, he set out from his home
in Burke county . upon an extensive
tour, being sent out by the Synod,
the first of a number of exploring
missionaries, who were to seek out
scattered Lutherans, and not only
to minister to them as occasion
should serve, but also to report to
the Synod the condition and pros
pects ' of the missionary field. In
the performance " of this arduous
duty he travelled' through a: good
part of Virginia,; and of South
Carolina, and also into Tennessee.
He made an interesting report to
the Synod, extracts from which are
given by Dr. Bernheim. It con
cludes thus : "On my whole tour
I have baptized f thfe year two
adults and sixty children, preached
sixty-seven times, travelled three
thousand miles, and received $77.44
for my support, iwithout asking-for
a cent in any way, and arrived at
homo in health and safety. Honor,
thanks,-and praise be to the Lord."
The year '1817 was almost as
much of an epoch to the Lutherans
as it wa? to the Churchmen,. of
Korth Carolina,- though of a d lifer
ent character; : Irr the Synod which
met in October, ,181 7, the latitudi
narians carried ithe da'in ' regard
to the licensing of unordained men
to' administer the sacraments, and
by that and 1 other action under the
leadership of; the Moravian Gotlieb
Shober, laid .the foundation for the
split with theparty led by David
Henkel, and the "consequent organi
zation, oihe Tennessee Synod.
Mr; Miller, as was before remarked
was the only minister in the Synod
who j opposed this measure to the
end ; and he seems to have taken a
part in only one subsequent meet
ing, viz.,i that in 1819. The "organi
zation of the Diocese of North Car
olina, in -1817, and the visitations of
Bishop Moore in 1819 and again in
1820, encouraged him to hope that
the long "desired opportunity of ob
taining episcopal J ordination was
now at hand... In 1821 the oonven
tion 'met in Ealeigbj' April; 28th.
MrMillerf attended; and jbo Tues
day ;May . 1st, in the forenoon, .after
diving sexy iee in the Methodist
church, he ' was ordained; deacon' by
Bishop Richard Charining Moorej of
the: Diocese of Virginia. In ; the
evening of the same day be was ad
vanced to the priesthood.
Of Mr. Miller's history after this
period we must speak very briefly,
and J must eonfine ourselves to his
pastoral labors. - His efforts to effect
a - fraternal alliance between the
Lutheran Synod and the Diocesan
Cbnven tion ' require a separate artir
cle. ( But hefore. leaving this:subject
it may be worth while, to say that
he did not feel that after, his ordinal
tion in 1821 . he met with tho co
operation from . his', late associates
which by the spirit -and terms ot
their union he had a right to expect.
The: lesson which 'he draws from-his
experience is that it is vain, if not
absurd,' to Suppose, 'that the ;suc
cessful - attempt1 oi amalgamating
the different sects, creeds, .order;
and worship of all those- who call

A6r his admission to the minis
try of the Church, Mr Miller labored
bos faithfully as - long as his
strength isndured; Christ Church,
Rowpn. was admitted into union
withgthe, 9onention; with -. AJmpnd
HaU; ;itsr ;
St; Michkers, J Iredell county, and
White Haven and Smyrna, in Lin
coln, in 182 1 St. Peter's, Lincoln
county, and LSt. Andrew's, Burke
county, in 1823. All these were the
fruits of Mr. Milleir's labors, and
later on he reports also a congrega
tion on Johns ; River,1 in- Burke
county. It seemB probable, also,
that the congregation admitted into
union with the convention in 1822,
under the name of St. Peter's
Church, Lexington, was part of his
charge. In 1821 the congregations
in theso counties were under his
pastoral care, and v the Missionary
Society of the Diocese gave him as
his helpers the Rev. Thomas Wright,
of Wilmington, who bad been or
dained Deacon by Bishop Moore in
1820, and the Rev. Robert Davis, of
Orange county, ordained Deacon in
1001 u nr- iir:u r
was 1; mostly given to Wadesboro.
In 1823 Mr. Davis left the diocese,
and Mr.- Miller reports for all the
churches in Rowan, Lincoln, Iredell,
and Burke counties. In 1824 he
reports that the Lutheran members
of St. Michael's had all withdrawn,
and after 1825 the name of this
parish disappears from the journals
of the convention. The portion .of
the congregation remaining under
Mr. Miller's care : was composed
almost entirely of; one family that 1
of Mr. Charles Mills and for some
years it is reported under the name
of that ; family; "Mills', Iredell
county." It is now the parish of
St. James, Iredell county. ,
There is little more to be told,
except the bare outlines contained
iriithe parochial report: St. Luke's,
Salisbury, Christ Church, Rowan,
St. J ames; Iredell, fairly represent
parishes partly founded by this
venerable man. ; : St. Andrew's, I
Burke, was probably the beginning
of the present parish" at Lenoir;
White Haven, has long crumbled to
decay ; of St Peter's and Smyrna,
Lincoln county, even the locality is
forgotten.. ; ',.', l.C 5
Mr. Miller attended no conven
tion after that, of 1829.; ; H-e is men
tioned from time to time in :the Ad
dresses of Bishop Ravenscrofl and
of Bishop Ives, and always with the
greatest affection and respect. His
bodily strength gradually decayed;
and in his address to the convention
of 1835 Bishop Ives says : -."In re
cording, the changestwhich, during
the past year; have occurred among
us, I notice with . unfeigned sorrow
the death of the Reverend Robert J.
Miller, of Burke county, a clergy-;
man of whom' we may emphatically
say, for him to live, fas Christ; and to
die is gain." j
