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

Captain Conviction

"CONVICTION, with his Ensign, Mr. SORROW, bearing the “pale colors,” with the escutcheon of the “open Book of the Law,” whence issued a flame of fire, represents the law of God, wide open to the gaze, extended to the view; written within and without, and making no secret of its terrors. And with Conviction comes Sorrow—deep, heartfelt compunction, pale with terror—an horrible dread hath whelmed him."[2]
