THE CHANGING HERO.

Los Angeles Express: The hero OF
fiction is undergoing a metamorpho-
sis. That conviction even the most
cursory capnot escape. 1t has been
evident for long time that the
heroine is not what she once was,
but the estate of man has not chang
ed so much as that of woman in the
days since "mid-Victorian" became
anathema to the advanced character
of the advanced thinkers. Thus the
revolution in the character Of the
hero has not thrust itself on public
attention until more lately. The
change, 1t must be reTetfully said.
is not for the better. To speak I'm
reservedly, the novel hero seems to
be going to the dogs.
In the old-fashioned, sublimely ig-
norant and unsophisticated literary
epoch known as Victorian, and for
some time thereafter, the hero of
the popular novel was often a gentle
man, a man Of decent impulses and
fairly decent life. There may be an
occasional figure Of that sort in the
novels currently crowding one an
other off the presses, but they are
hard to find. The unusual hero of
these modern days was the villain Of
the old type Of novel, the dishonor-
able, thoroughly selfish and wicked
creature who caused all the heroine's
>rouble. Now that sort is crowned
with the hero's laurels. You are ex-
pected to like, admire and be inter
ested in man that former In
genious epoch would have found i'm
moral and so odious.
Three novels fresh from the press
| have as heroes men who by the old
| fashioned standard would be regard
ed as pretty low specimens OF the
! genus homo All are selfish, con-
ceited, snobbish, without morals
where women are concerned-in
short, thoroughgoing blackguardsr
And they are typical The only
crime these advanced" heroes rec.
ognize as such is conventional de-
cency They want to Tive" and
that to them involves the breaking
OF the ordinary canons of society.
Gone are the days OF such uninter-
esting decent heroes as Henry Es-
! mond, David Copperfield and John
Halifax

action bolshevist however, the bomber and
overturner, does not let idealsm lead him SO far
afeld. Seeing that some other men have things
that he would like, he proposes to appropriate
them. What may happen thereafter is not one
of his concerns.
Bolshevism was born in Germany and is only
an extension of the theory ON which the Ger
mans as nation have made wars. Their thrifty
neighbors had things they envied-colonles,
commerce, coal fields, factory machinery, nve-
stock, house furnishings, gold-and In order to
get possession of them they marched across the
border with guns and gas and liquid fire and
trucks with which to bring their plumber home.

DEMPSEY MUST SHOW.

While Dempsey is most successful IN follow
ing the trade of punching holes in hot air, as
demonstrated at the Toledo function, the fore
most question at issue-who is the most effec-
tive and really superior pug in the world-has
not been demonstrated Jess Willard, who
made such sorry exhibition of himself yester-
day, evidently is no fighter, never was fighter
of championship class; and now the often ex-
pressed opinion that the Johnson Willard
contest was concluded according to arranged
program finds certain demonstration. Dempsey
has not shown that he is Sullivan, Fitzsim-
mons. or Johnson Until he meets a man of
their class in pugilism his claim of superiority
is open to doubt. The Toledo event was not a
fight.

LABOR A COMMODITY.

The American Federation of Labor has adopt
ed reconstruction program with much OF
which fair-minded people will be entirely sym
pathetic; but certain of its propositions are not
so clear as could be liked. For example, the de-
mand is made that labor must no longer be
treated as commodity, but that workers should
have full equality with all other men and wom-
en- in modern society. They certainly should
IF any right is now denied them which other
citizens enjoy the injustice should be corrected
without delay. But many people who are
quick to concede this would like some light on
the commodity clause. Just what does it meant
According to the dictionary, a commodity is
supply furnished, an article of value, something
that is bought and sold. What man who works
at anything does not regard his ability to do the
work he does an article of value to be disposed
of for price7 What man does not feel free to
sell it where he will and for the best price of
feredf Ability to do anything is marketable
commodity. All salaried workers sell it to their
employers. Lawyers and doctors sell it to their
clients and their patients; and so do clergymen,
for the late distinguished preacher Robert Col
lier declared that we-that is the world treat
religion as commodity and pay for what we
get" If there is any better name than COM
modify for mans labor or his capacity to do
things with hand or brain there can be no OBJ
lection to using it. But commodity is some
thing of value to be exchanged or sold by agree
rnent between the parties to the contract, and
most of us rejoice that we have such a commod-
ity to sell.

W. believe that the first principles

~ Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ;
f2l Repentance; (3) Baptism BY Inn
mer.ion for the remission Of sins;
~ Laying on Of hands for ene CIR.
Of tho Holy Ghost. ARTICLES OF
Faith. ~
Men and brethren, what shall we
do?" Such was the eager, anguished,
almost despairing cry OF the humpled
multitude who, at the first Pentecost
following the crucifixion OF Christ.
were brought to a realization OF their
awful guilt through the inspired utter
ances of Peter, the presiding Apostle.
What shall we do? What can wa
do? Is hope yet open to US? This
is the wall of contritely penitene
souls, everywhere, always. When
convicted Of sin at the bar or MS
own conscience through genuine re-
pentance, when at last able TO see
himself in all the repulsive pollution
Of his transgression, the self-accusing
sinner yearns with feryid purpose to
make all possible reparation and is
Jealous to learn and obey the condi-
tons of forgiveness, If such there be-.
To every soul thus brought into
the depths through the benign though
affecting influences Of repentance, to
all who thus appeal for mercy and
rescue, the answer is direct and
prompt:
Repent, and be baptized every one
Of you in the name OF Jesus Christ
for the remission Of sins, and ye shall
receive the gift Of the Holy Ghost"
(See Acts 2:37-39)
The promise OF remission is as
wide as the domain Of sin; for, ex-
cepting those land be 1t said to our
comfort that they are few who sink
SO far into the quagmire of infQufty
az to be numbered among the sons
Of perdition," to whom effective re-
pentance is impossible, all may be
saved by compliance with the re-
Quirements set forth by the Author
of the plan of salvation. The need
of forgiveness is likewise universal;
"for there is mot just man upon
earth, that doeth good, and sinneth
not" (Eccles. 1920; and 'if we say
that we have no sin, we deceive our
solves, and the truth is not In U.s."
Il John 1:S)
Is it not reasonable, and wholly in
keeping with the ordinary ways OF
men in their mutual dealings, that
some substantial evidence shall be
demanded to attest the genuineness
Of the repentance we voice in words ?
1t is enough that the debtor shall
merely acknowledge his obligation
and express regret that he has not
heretofore been able to meet it? He
must do something more. or he re-
mains forever in debt. The seal by
which repentance. Is validated is
Baptism In water for the remission
Of sins; for by this is the blood of
Jesus Christ made effective to cleanse
from sin. (See l John 1:7)
The voice in the wilderness her
aiding the advent Of the Lord, the
proclamation that aroused Jerusalem
and reverberated throughout Judea
and Galilee, was "the baptism of re-
pentance for the remission Of SINS"

ordinance was not to be administered
