Methodist Churches.
The features of the day in the Methodist
churches were two sermons delivered by
| Rev. W. III. Milburn, "the blind man elo-
quent," ut the Broad.Street church in the
! morning, and at Centenary at night. The
announcement that this well-kEown minis
ter would preach twice on Sunday in this
city attracted very large congregations, espe-
ciaily at night.
Among the ministers who were on the
pulpt-stand at Centenary with Mr.. Milburn
| were Right Rev. Bishop Doggett, D. ID. ;
| Rev. John E. Edwards, D. D., pastor of Gen.
tenary church; Rev. j. C. Granbery, D. D.,
| of Broad-Street church; Rev. Charles H.
Read, d. D., of the Grace-Street Presbyte-
| rian church and Rev. j. L. n. Curry, D..
| D. Mr. Mitburn selected as his text Eccle-
siastes, 1st chapter and I'd verse, and 18th
chapter and 1st verse. His sermon was one
of the most eloquent ever delivered
in this city,. his subject being the
vanity Of all earthly things. Although he
preached longer than ministers ordinarily
do. vet his hearers seemed at the close of
| his discourse eager that his sermon should
be continued, SO fully did they appreciate
all that he said. Mr. Milburn is a most re-
markable man. His gestures are all graceful
and natural, and his address pleasant. He
gives out ail the hymns, aud repeats them
| from memory as fuently and with as much
ease as the minister who is blessed with eye
sight. he reads. OF rather repeats the chap
tcrs which he selects from the bible, per-
fectly and distinctly. and with striking en-
! n,,.sis. On Sunday night he selected the
| 13rh claDtcr Of lst Corinthians, and recited
| it viii great facility. !;
DR.. Curry offered the closing prayer. DR..
| Edwards preached ct this church in the
mornin@.
