Addresses to Children Concerning Salvation

John Brown of Haddington was a minister and professor of the Associate (Burgher) Synod in Scotland in the latter part of the eighteenth century. The following addresses were written in connection with two of his most popular works (both catechisms for children). They were originally delivered within the context of instructing children born to Christian parents in “the faith which was once delivered unto the saints” (Jude 3). However, these addresses are suitable for persons of all ages and conditions, eminently adapted (by the working of God’s Spirit) to bring home to the conscience the desperate condition of the soul not trusting in Christ, the glorious truth of the gospel of free salvation through His finished work, and the necessity of resting upon Him alone for salvation.
