“Old age should be the true harvest time of the years. Life should grow more and more beautiful unto the end. It should increase in knowledge, in wisdom, in all the graces of the Spirit, in all the sweetness of love, in all that is Christlike. Christian old people should be like trees in the autumn, their branches full of ripe fruit to feed the hunger of those who live about them.” — J.R. Miller, The Upper Currents (1902), pp. 97-98
