MAKES PLEA FOR
THE UNDER man

THE Under Man" was the subject Of
yesterday mornings sermon at the
First Presbyterian Church by the Rev
Mason w. Pressly, of Philadelphia. He
took his text from the 25th Chapter of
St. Matthew where it says that if we
do 1t TO the least of these, We do it to
me-" The object of the text was to
show that the least of these" is the
under man" or the man who is weak.
or sick or in prison. The philosophy of
the day, the preacher said. was to act
the opposite to this teaching. or in 9TH
er words to put out of the way 'he
weak man under the law of the survival
Of the fittest
But the weak man, said Rev. MIR.
Pressly, was just the man Christ want
ed to be saved.
He said that the only good that
could be done to better mankind should
have to be done in a spirit of Chris
tianity. that there could be no selfish
motives in it. To help the weak and
the sinner, he said, was the mission
of the Christian.
