Book excerpt: Prisoner of war, sea captain, moral reformer, and itinerant preacher, Joseph Bates led a varied and fascinating life and, as recognized by several scholars, achieved historical significance by co-founding the Seventh-day Adventist Church." So begins Gary Land in his Introduction to this reprint of the autobiography of Joseph Bates (1792-1872). The story first appeared as a series of fifty-one articles in The Youth's Instructor, a Seventh-day Adventist publication, between November 1858 and May 1863. In 1868 the articles were combined in a volume titled The Autobiography of Elder Joseph Bates; Embracing a Long Life on Shipboard, with Sketches of Voyages on the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the Baltic and Mediterranean Seas; Also Impressment and Service on Board British War Ships, Long Confinement in Dartmoor Prison, Early Experience in Reformatory Movements; Travels in Various Parts of the World; and a Brief Account of the Great Advent Movement of 1840-44. The autobiography was again released in 1877 as The Early Life and Later Experience and Labors of Elder Joseph Bates, edited by James White, and in 1927 as Life of Joseph Bates: An Autobiography, abridged and edited by C. C. Crisler. This volume, part of the Adventist Classic Library, will "continue to attract readers in the twenty-first century, whether they simply want to vicariously relive the ages of sail, revival, and reform; are seeking to better understand nineteenth-century American society [e.g., the War of 1812, American maritime trade, and the Second Great Awakening]; or want to encounter directly the self-understanding of the 'real founder' of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a sailor, prisoner of war, sea captain, moral reformer, and itinerant preacher, Joseph Bates led a varied and fascinating life. As a prisoner of war, he survived the Dartmoor massacre. As captain of his own ship, he forced his sailors to swear off liquor and talked pirates out of their prey. Scrupulously honest, he once turned his ship around to return money overpaid him. The unlikeliest of preachers, Bates was an ungodly seaman who, after many narrow escapes from death, eventually gave his heart to God. In the pursuit of health, Bates was far ahead of his times. In 1821 he gave up smoking, and tobacco. He later quit drinking tea and coffee, eventually becoming a vegetarian. Before his retirement from the sea at age 35, Bates amassed a small fortune (for his times). Upon his retirement, he became actively involved in the temperance, anti-slavery, and Second Advent movements. Bates, who invested his wealth in spreading the Second Advent message, experienced the "Great Disappointment" in 1844 but did not lose his faith. In 1845, after reading a pamphlet by T. M. Preble, Bates began keeping the seventh day Sabbath. It was a tract written by Bates that convinced James and Ellen White of the importance of the Sabbath. As a result of his involvement in the "Sabbath Conferences" of 1848-1950, Joseph Bates became personally acquainted with James and Ellen White. Having personally witnessed Ellen White in vision a number of times, he became convinced that the visions were from God. Together with James and Ellen White, Joseph Bates is considered to be one of the co-founders of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Bates served actively as a minister until the end of his life: the year before he died (at the age of 80), he preached at least 100 times. Once a profane sailor, Bates is today remembered as a respected minister who was not afraid to be on the cutting edge. In the words of James White, "those who knew Bates longest and best, esteemed him most highly."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At age 15, Joseph Bates "shipped" on a commercial vessel. For the next twenty-one years he lived the life of a sailor and ship captain. He returned to civilian life in 1828 with a small fortune. During the Advent Awakening, the retired sea captain became a respected evangelist and spiritual leader among the Adventists. In early 1845, Bates was providentially led to an understanding of the truth concerning the seventh-day Sabbath, and in 1846 he published a 48-page tract on the subject. The respected Captain was the oldest member of our church pioneers, and he became the first Seventh-day Adventist local conference president (Michigan, 1861). He lived to the age of 80. One reason for his physical endurance, in spite of many sacrifices, was his simple diet and temperate habits. He organized of the first temperance societies in the United States. Bates was a spiritual man with clear-cut views and the courage of a lion. He did not hesitate to sacrifice when the need arose. Let us thank God for the venerable Captain - apostle of the Sabbath truth.

Excerpt: ...this, as well as gold and silver, was prohibited by the government from exportation, we were necessarily subjected to many inconveniences and losses in securing returns for our owners. Many of the captains trading in the Pacific were also supercargos. Being obliged to transact our business at two custom-houses, Callao and Lima, six miles apart, it became necessary to have our own horses to pass between the two places. When returning to Callao, we generally loaded our persons with as much specie in dollars and doubloons as it was deemed prudent to risk, in the bottoms of our boots, and in our waist-belts, buckled around us under our dress. We did this because we were liable to be robbed on the way, and also because we were subjected to an examination by custom-house officers before embarking to our ships in the harbor. We generally distributed portions of it among our boat's crew until we got on board our vessels, and then deposited it for safe keeping on board one of our war-ships, paying the commander one per cent, for deposit. Our government officers in this way received and protected our property because it was ours. Two of my boat's crew were examined one day as I was about to embark, and ordered to the custom-house. I followed them. They had some two hundred dollars on their persons. The two officers who stopped the men, after counting the sum, wished to know how much I would give them if they would let the sailors pass without reporting the matter to the custom-house. "One doubloon," said I. "No;" said they, " we will divide with you." 1 replied, "If you will not accept my offer, go and make your report and let the government take it all, if they will." They attempted to show me that my...
