Mr. Mind

Captain Patience quartered at Mr. Mind's.[3]

"PATIENCE in the mental part—the principle of intelligence."[2]

Mr. Suffer-Long

Standard-bearer for Captain Patience.[3]

Captain Patience

"Captain PATIENCE is that spirit of the Master, that is long-suffering of evil and patient in tribulation. However dark or black the prospect (the black colors), the true Christian will be enduring of the strife and patient of the conflict. This is just such a Captain as would be worthy of so hard-fought a battlefield."[2]

Five Brave Captains of Immanuel

" 'The Captain of our salvation' now sets forth, but not alone. He comes with ten thousands at his feet, and with his five brave Captains. This expedition is suggestive in all its parts, and includes, within the compass of the description, the whole plan of salvation as revealed and wrought out in Christ."[2]
