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]

Captain Experience
Mr. Experience is made Captain Experience.[3]
"Here is the experience of the soul enlarged and made more honorable. This principle is educated and brought up under the tuition of Faith, in the school of test and trial—'Tribulation worketh patience, and patience experience;' and having endured hardness, and proved itself a good soldier, it is now promoted to the chief rank in the soul.
The Experience of the man of God, the good soldier of the cross, counts for something in the estimation of God. To the soul experience is indispensable; it is the knowledge, and, as such, the guide of the soul—the knowledge of God, in Christ, through the Spirit; the knowledge of God’s dealings with the soul, and of the soul’s dealings with itself, and of Satan’s manifold temptations; the ups and downs, the reverses and successes, of the long continued strife, and all the diversified phases of the battle of the warrior. And as Faith marches on, and fights the good fight, Experience is enlarging, increasing, ripening, maturing, and thus becoming more and more useful to the Christian soldier; and in proportion to its use and increase, it is honorable and honored in God’s sight, and receives fresh tokens of his favor and approval."[2]
