Andrew Miller
Evangelist To
2,500 State Deaf
Presbyterian Standard.
Rev. Andrew €. Miller, an edu
cated deal mute who was ordained
by the Kings Mountain Presbytery
last year as an evangelist for the
deaf, has not confined his minis- !
trattoria to this presbytery, but has
been traveling over the state preach
ing to the deaf in the Presbyterian
churches at Shelby, Charlotte, Con
cord, Gastonia, Greensboro, High
Point, Asheville, Raleigh, Roel:/
Mount, Statesville, Durham, and
other places, and teaching Bible
class alsd. '
Prior tc his ordination, on iiis ojtvn
volition, being a ‘‘labor of love” Mr.
Miller did missionary work' for Owo
years in this arid adjoining corn
ties. forming Bible classes ' a ad
teaching in the sign language to
those unfortunate friends who pr^
deprived of religious instruction ion
account of their deafness. Most^of
his congregations are educated and
well to do, coming to Mr. Miller's
meetings in their automobiles frjom
20 to 25 miles. Their morals and il<‘
portment will compare favorably
with their hearing friends. /
Mrs. Miller has been assisting Jhei
husband in those meetings, reciting
hymn:; in the sign language which
the deaf understand and are re
sponsive. Wherever Mr. Miller goes
he is received cordially and they ap
preciate the interest he is taking in
their spiritual upiift. They r.ve
highly pleased to have a deaf min
ister preach to them, one whom
they can understand. Mr. Miller has
a list of the names of the deaf in
the state and he writes them cards
informing them of his appointments
Mr. Miller is doing a wonderful
work among the deaf, the under
privileged, who have been neglected |
by all the churches. The Churches
ought to hold up the hands of this
evangelist and encourage him
i this worthy undertaking for the spi'
itual welfare of the deaf Mr. Miller
has beeh constrained' by the Good
Spirit to give his life work to this
cause, realizing the needs of these
people, hoping and praying he1 may
bx- instrumental in doing a little to
build up the Kingdom of our Lord
and Master.
Mr. Miller is a native of this
place and is a son of Mr. A. C. Mill
er, one of the elders in the Shelby
Presbyterian church. There are
about 2.000 to 2,500 deaf people in
this state. The attendance' lddt ses
sion at the N. C. school’lor the deaf
children at Morganton was 321 pu
pils. who received religidus instruc
tion while at school.
