Read the Introduction by Rev. Robert Maguire, D. D.

Captain Boanerges

"BOANERGES, with his Ensign, Mr. THUNDER, bearing the “black colors,” with the escutcheon of the “three burning bolts,” represents an awakening ministry, that speaks not words of peace, but words of warning; able to “reprove, rebuke, exhort;” and, knowing the terrors of the Lord, to 'persuade men.'"[2]
