LETTER I.

_The Christian's Mark._

"Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto
those things which are before, I _press_ towards the mark for the
prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."--PHIL. 3:13,
14.

MY DEAR SISTER,

Ever since the death of our dear mother, I have felt a deep interest in
your welfare. And your being left, while young, in a measure dependent
upon me, has increased my affection for you. You have now left my roof,
to sojourn among strangers. You have little knowledge of the world, and
your religious experience has been short. I trust, therefore, you will
cordially receive a few hints from one whose fraternal affection has
been strengthened by many peculiar circumstances, and who, for many
years, has not ceased to remember you in his prayers.
