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!
