Ann Arbor Guild.

DETROIT, Mich, T7.-Among the
ministerial and lay delegates who have
arrived % attend the annual convention
of Michigan Baptists here this week
almost the sole topic OF discussion is
the "heresy trial which promises TO
enliven the proceedings.
a trial for heresy Is something IN
usual in the Baptist denomination
Never before has such a trial taken
place IN the history OF The Michigan
Baptist convention, but the present dis
pute over doctrinal differences has
reached such an acute stage that IL is
felt that the convention cannot we'll
avoid taking official action IN the mat
ter.
The storm center of the present
trouble is the Rev. Frederick Merri-
field, director OF the Ann Arbor Baptist
Guild. which directs the theological
training Of students destined for the
Baptist ministry. For some years Mr..
Merrifeld's teachings have been criti-
cised by certain old-Iine Baptists, who
have openly charged him with denying
the divinity Of Christ and his bodily
resurrection.
As a result Of these criticisms Mr..
Merrifield has been requested to submit
full statement OF his doCtrinal beliefs
vi then discuss the whole matter and
by a vote decide whether Mr.. MerTi-
field shall be asked to resign his posi-
ton. The Introduction OF tho cOntrO-
versy on the convention floor IS eX-
pected TO Drecipitdte a lively discussion
