caption_attribution_description: Newspaper photograph of Reverend Joseph Miller BD, who was vicar of the church of St Mark, Old Leeds Road, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England, from 1929 to 1931. He was formerly a Congregationalist minister who converted to Anglicanism shortly before taking up the living at St Mark's.
context_page_description: Reverend Joseph Miller BD was a Congregational minister, much in demand as an "eloquent preacher" for 14 years in the north of England. While in Hamburg during his ministry he "rendered valuable assistance to his countrymen in distress" following a call from the American Embassy there. However, in 1929 he "created a sensation" by becoming an Anglican priest. His first Anglican incumbency was as vicar of the Church of St Mark, Old Leeds Road, Huddersfield, England, from 1929 to 1931.
context_section_description: In 1925, while pastor at Cleckheaton, he published a small volume of sermons, entitled The Collapse of Christianity. The title of the book is the title of the first sermon. The United Methodist review said that: 
  "These discourses have nothing sensational about them, but bear the stamp of a mind clear in thought, firm in conviction, and possessing the power of infusing its own glowing warmth into the lives of others ...The book ... contains a sermon on "The Work That Counts," which has pleased the writer of these lines greatly ... The fact is, this preacher has a progressive mind with a modern outlook."
  
  The Berwickshire News and General Advertiser said that: 
  "The series of sermons are marked by the work of the careful student and thinker. The optimistic note sounded in the opening sermon is refreshing ... The author's sound arguments ...admirably calculated to build up and stablish in the truth ... Mr Miller is well remembered locally where his many sterling qualities, while pastor of Spittal Church, endeared him to a much wider circle of friends than those which comprised his flock."
