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

Mr. Skillful

A lieutenant under Captain Experience.[3]

"The names of the subalterns of this Captain are suggestive of a goodly group of Christian talents, indicating the value of Christian knowledge and skill, and the work of the renewed memory as the treasure-house of the renewed heart. Experience is made up of knowledge, of things found out and learned; memory, storing them up for after use in time of need; and skill, in the choice of the best and most useful lessons, with power to make the best use of them in every season of test and trial."[2]
