These were the features OF public
and private discussion during the
Tuesday morning sessions of the Mich
igan Baptist Ministers conference in
the North Woodward Baptist church.
The fact that the Rev. Frederick Mer-
rifield director of the Baptist Guild,
Ann Arbor, Is to be commended, in
stead of censured In the State Bap-
list convention, OF which the minis
ters' conference Is the forerunner, as
has been expected by many, was made
known by the Rev. T. w. Young, pas
tor OF the North Woodward Baptist
church, and member OF the convention
Z committee which investigated Mr..
Merrifield.
1T had been reported that Mr.. Mer-
rified denied the divinity OF Christ
and the resurrection of Christ, but we
have found that he did neither OF
these" said Mr.. Young to The Times.
HE may have expressed certain
views in regard to the resurrection
which displeased some, but we ind
: that he has done nothing TO warrant
our taking any adverse action toward
him. AS matter OF fact, the commit
tee is going to commend him. or
course some one may offer a resolu-
ton TO condemn him or ask for his re-
moval but that is the only way he
could be dealt with by this conven-
ton. The convention could not try
him on the charge OF heresy. for eacn
! Baptist clergyman Is controlled by
the church which employs him. The
church is a law unto itself In that
respect. We are different from other
churches In regard to- the manner OF
dealing with clergymen who may hap
pen to hold views which are at vari-
ance with the fundamental principles
OF Christianity.
However In regard to Mr.. Merri-
field, don't look for any opposition
to our report. Mr.. Mortified Is doing
good work in Ann Arbor. and we can
not do anything else but commend
him"
Mr.. Merrifeld himself was much In
evidence about the church. He was
warmly greeted by his many friends,
and showed no signs Of being worried
over the charges made against him
and the investigation which followed.
He is O yourg man, who gives one
warm and tight handshake on being
introduced He also beams good
naturally on new and old acquaint-
ances alike. and gives one the i'm
preston that he has mind of his
own and has the courage OF his con-
victions However, he was not anx-
ious to talk about his own case when
approached by The Times.
81 don't think that it would be
wise for me to say anything just
now" he said "The committee which
made the investigation knows the
facts in the case and 1t will doubtless

public, as the leader? This is especially true in politics.
 The group now selected by the prophets to find temporary abiding place in the footwear of Senator Aldrich consists of Senators Root, Crane, Penrose, Warren Lodge and Perkins But the longer these men are associated the more fully they will come to realize the clever est of them, the best schemer, the one most skill ed in manipulation and who best loves it, will plan where the rest will follow.
 That one unless we miss our guess, is Sen ator Crane Mir Root is too big man mentally, and too much of statesman to be content with political details. Mr. Penrose is too thoroughly discredted in the popular mind to lead anything but Pennsylvania legislature Mr. Lodge has always been the scholar in politics, with all the scholars political weakness, and with too much politics to give him preeminence in scholarship.
 None of the rest have made enough of mark to mar the senate furniture nor to impress the popular mind Probably not one in hundred who would hear their names could tell in six guesses the states they represent. So it becomes almost a certainty as to what will happen if the sextette group themselves in leadership.
 And in the meanwhile what of that other group-La Toilette, Cummins, Bristow, Bev- eridge, Deliver and Clapp. If the other named, are leading these will be mighty sure to be in- surging The fire will suit them no better than the frying pan, nor will the deep sea satisfy them better than him the populace has adorned with hoofs and horns.
 The republican party cannot always exist di- vided against itself It must find a leadership all can follow, or sink its differences in the in- nocuous ocean of a minority.

BRYAN'S LATEST EPIGRAM

In Chicago the other day Mir. Bryan dropped this jewel from his lips: ''If the newspapers of this country did their duty to the public, there is not wrong that could last one year in the United States.' And this jewel fell with a squash, even the simple minded saw it was paste.
 It is by the scattering abroad of just such com monplace sayings, that MT. Bryanso grievously disappoints his admirers and near-admirers. They sound so big and are so meaningless, so sophomoric, that one wonders at the mind which iumbles them up with flashes of real wisdom.
 If this world was all of one righteous mind, it would have fulfilled its mission and reached its destiny. Also if the men and newspapers of this country were of one point of view and one opinion, all growth would cease and this would be nation of dull, dreary decadent monotony.
 Who is to say what is a "wrong"? who it to decide what is a newspaper s 'duty"? Is it Mir. Bryan? Then why issue any papers except the Commoner? Yet strange as it may seem, even it does not suit all tastes nor voice the honest sentiments of all patriots, as to wrongs and duties.
 Mr. Bryan has seen many wrongs and no one has questioned the sincerity of his vision. He has frequently 'seen his duty and done it." But in no instance has he had the support of a ma jority of his fellow countrymen. In no instance has the majority agreed with him, though they have always conceded the integrity of his own mental attitude.
 How this latest jewell by which he would bring left-handed indictment against the news papers, resolves itself then into twaddle. How flat it falls with even the most casual analysis. This country, especially, lives on difference of opinion This is the blood in its veins, the breath in its body, its nerve force and the reason of its being.
 It is the basis of all progress and to settle what is right and what is wrong, what is duty and what is merely selfshness, majority rule has been invoked The wisdom of this process of abiding by the average of the intelligence and righteousness of whole people, is the Amer ican idea and is America $ gift of example to other nations.

LEADERSHIP BY GROUPS

According to eastern reports, it is the present opinion that it will take about six men to fill the shoes of Senator Aldrich, as senate leader It is not put in exactly this way to be sure but that the day of one man power has passed and that hereafter authority, or leadership, will rest in groups of members.
 But that is rather misleading phrase, and as situation would be but transition, an in terregnum during the process of winnowing out the real leadership. Whoever heard of a group of men associated in any enterprise that sooner or later, one was not recognized at least by the

Difficult Scriptures on He'll

A little book selling at only ten
cents, postpaid, is having very
wide Notwithstanding up into
the millions. 1t contains some very
startling information respecting the
meaning of the word He'll. 1t
claims to demonstrate, both from the
Hebrew and the Greek of our Bible,
that He'll is not place of eternal
torment, but merely another name
for the tomb, the grave, the state Of
death. 1t effects to show that man
was not redeemed from a far-off
place Of eternal torture, but quotes
the Scriptures proving that he was
redeemed from the grave at the cost
of his R edeemer's life and that the
Scriptural Hope, both for the
Church and the World, is resur-
rection hope based upon the death
and resurrection of Jesus. The book
is certainly worth the reading. The
information it furnishes is certainly
valuable, far beyond its trifling cost.

BEST BATH IN TOWN
 FUR 50 CENTS
JULIUS HOFFMAN CUTS PRICES AT PALACE RIGHT IN
 THE MIDDLE.

With the idea of making his es- tablishment the best patronized of any in town, Julius Hoffman, the proprietor of the Palace baths, has cut the price of his baths right in the middle and they can now be had at 90 cents, instead of the old price of one dollar. As the Palace baths enjoy the reputation of being the best appointed in town 1t Is al together probable that Mir. Hoffman will find that he has made good guess.
 At the Palace it is possible for both ladies and gentlemen to get as good a bath as is to be obtained Outside, and the establishment has always been well patronlzed on this account. Special arrangements have been made for ladies, for whom a private entrance Is available, and for cleanliness and neatness the bathing facilities cannot be sur passed.
 Although the price has been cut there will be no lessening of the service, and just as strict attention will be paid by MT. Hoffman to the comfort of his patrons as formerly. The cut has been made because in the opinion of the proprietor the conditions warrant it. The baths are located in the Palace barber shop, on Cushman street, near First.
