    Eleven Thousand Dollars Spent for the Truth

    Another trial soon followed. When Captain Bates left the sea, he sold out his interest in a ship for $11,000, but now he had spent his all to advance the cause of truth. Up to this date Mrs. Bates did not know his true financial condition, but he felt that he must now acquaint her with it, so he calmly said, “Wife, I spent for those articles the last money I have on earth.” With bitter sobs Mrs. Bates inquired, “What are we going to do?” The captain arose, and with all the dignity of a captain directing his vessel, said, “I am going to write a book; I am going to circulate it, and spread this Sabbath truth before the world.” “Well,” said Mrs. Bates, through blinding tears, “what are we going to live on?” “The Lord is going to open the way,” was Captain Bates’s smiling reply. “Yes,” said Mrs. Bates, “the Lord is going to open the way! That’s what you always say,” and bursting into tears she left the room.GSAM 252.1
