Sunday. in the First M. E. church in
this city, Rev. Leonard occupying his
pulpit in Lansing. The church was
crowded at both services. The morn
ing sermon was to parents--the effect of
their example on the children and the
help their lives could be. In the evening
he talked of the Bible-not a history
but historically correct; not biography
though it gives more than any other
book concerning many of the worlds
great men; not book of science, though
it can be proven by the Bible; not a
book of natural history though it is
helpful in this line-but spiritual
guide; Gods book to man for his guide;
those who search for truth in many
ways and places always get back to the
Bible.

The Primary Election.

The county board of election commits
sioners has awarded the printing of the
official ballots for the June primary cleo
tion to THE TINES. The members Of
the board are now busy endeavoring to
decide just what is required in the way
of ballots. 1t is stated at the secretary
OF states Office that three forms of ballot
must be printed for each party, and it
apparently will be up to each election
commission to decide just how many
parties there are. Some persons are
inclined to say that the commissioners
must print ballots for every party repre-
sented on the enrolment books, but
just what the advice will be from the
attorney general is not known.
On one ballot will be submitted the
question of continuing the system of
primary nomination of governor and
lieutenant governor. This will be for
all enrolled voters of the state, and on
the same ballot will be submitted the
questions of primary nominations in
the various districts for which valid
petitions have been fled.
Another ballot will be for the party
nomination, and another will be for the
naming of the delegates to the county
convention that will select delegates to
the state convention.
Many questions are being asked the
secretary of states and attorney-gener-
ais departments in regard to the opera
ton of the law, and many Of them re-
late to the form of ballot to be used
