This is the second in our series of "American Sunday
School Union Classic Reprints." It first appeared in 1838 written by J.W.
Alexander (1804-1859). It is a timeless example of how an older brother should
admonish and encourage a younger brother. Topics covered in the letters
include: On Reading the Scriptures Gratitude to Parents Shortness of Life Early
Rising Bodily Exercise Habits of Diligence Friendships & the Danger of Evil
Companions Truth and Falsehood Evil Speaking Secret Prayer The Great Concern:
the Salvation of your Soul Although a brilliant pastor and professor, Alexander
wrote each letter with his youngest brother in mind, and thus in simple,
straightforward language. Superbly written!
