Sketch OF cotoreG Bishop Of the
vi ea n . tst Episcopal Church, ID,
America. Eers& :

IIpuiSville Courier-Journal)
Bishop William Henry Miles is six feet OF.
more in height, well proportional. and
weighs at least ZOO pounds: of ginger.cak
color. short hair, aud very good manners.
On sunday morning he preached to large
audience OF colored people in the court
house, and on Sunday night be preached to
the white people in the Methodist church.
The church was full, and all gave him their
quiet attention. He preached from the 10th
chapter and oath verse of st. Matthew. His
delivery was good, and manner plain and
| practical; his ideas very good. his voice very
well modulated. He made no attempt what
ever at bombaSt or display. We believe we
speak the sentiment Of every gentleman and
| lady who heard him when we say, that his
| sci mon wa very good one. Everybody
WIS well pleased. and no one regretted his
| or her going to hear him.
Bishop Miles was born in Washington
| county. Kentucky, in December, 1928, rs the
slave of Mrs. Mary Miles. During his boy
hood he learned the alphabet from an old
! colored man on the pay ment of6} cents, and
learned to read ut Il coloreG sunday school
taught Ivy an aged Presbyterian lady near by
his misrc>,'S home. When his mistress died
she "illcd BIN free but the heirs of the

it in court eleven years. Finally, in 1864,
the case was compromised while pending in
the Court of Appeals. By that compromise
he became free man in 1864. He then went
to Indiana. but in 1865 he returned to Louis
willie and set up retail furniture house, but
soon left and went to Lebanon, Kentucky,
aud went into the garden and fruit business.
He was licensed to preach by Or. Redtord.
of Nashville. in 1888; was ordained
bishop in 1870 by Bishops Payne and
McTyiere OF the Methodist Episcopal
Church South. His episcopal iurIsdic-
ton extends over thi, State, Tennes-
see, Missouri, Kansas, and North Mississippi.
When he was ordained the an. +. Church
in America" was organized With himself
| and Il. FL. NauderhorSt (colored) as bishops.
| The white MethodiSts South aid them in so
doing, while the white Methodists North
| have teen and are now hostile to such an
| organization. Bishop Eanderhorst is now
| dead and in March last Bishop Miles, aided
| by Bishop Pierce. Of Cieorgia, ordained three
