Canright boarded that ship anyway; and it led him into something
terrible. But just now, let us go back
to the early 1800s, to the
beginning of the story.

A few weeks
later, at the General Conference session in Battle Creek, he made some confessions and
seemed to feel better. Immediately, he pushed himself even harder in new evangelistic
meetings in Iowa.

As he went, he took Lucretia with him, although by that time they had a
house in Monroe. Life was hard
for his little wife. After her death, he was to call her a
"saint" for what she had gone through. Four years
later they were to sell it,
their first home. It had been hardly lived in.
Meeting again in
late 1873, the two men wept together in a manzanita thicket near Santa Rosa,
California.
From the fall of 1873 until the moment of her death, Lucretia never again had a question
about Ellen White and the Testimonies. For the remainder of her life she ever sought to be
a helper to her
husband and a faithful child of God.
In these articles he traced the rise of the church and then, in some
detail, he told the story of various
ones who had apostatized and later fought the church.
In other articles in this series he spoke about
Ellen White, whom he had personally known
for many years, and about the immense value of the
Testimonies in the history of the
church and in his own life.
