Podcast appearances and mentions of William Hunt

The dew lies softly on the green grass and the sunrise is golden in the early morning sky. I come upon an unspoiled mirror of water. A smooth pebble leaves my fingertips. Yes! I land my pebble perfectly in the bullseye! I watch a concentric circle of ripples reach the edge of the pool and bounce back to the middle where they collide.I wander on.Who knows why we do what we do?I was contemplating Quixote, that strangely enchanting character created by Miguel de Cervantes in 1605.But what was happening across the water in 1605?Having a keyboard at my fingertips, I took an early morning walk backwards-in-time to see what was happening in America while the tormenters of the Inquisition were torturing the innocent people of Spain and wooden blocks were stamping the first edition of Don Quixote onto paper in Madrid.1607: Jamestown, the first permanent settlement by Europeans was founded on the shores of what would later become Virginia.1610: John Rolfe realized he could introduce the tobacco of the Native Americans to the people of Europe. Praise God! This would be the crop that would provide the income that would sustain our little colony on the sparkling shores of this brand-new world.1615: Miquel de Cervantes writes Part Two of Don Quixote, and more characters are carved into wooden blocks to stamp ink onto paper in Madrid.1619: Four thousand Europeans agree to work as indentured servants for a few years in the tobacco fields of Virginia if someone will loan them the money for passage across the Atlantic and give them fifty acres of their own. Among these 4,000 men are Anthony Johnson and 19 other young men of Africa. Each of them work in the tobacco fields to pay off the loans for their passage, then each is awarded 50 acres of his own. Anthony Johnson later becomes successful enough to pay for the passage of 5 more Africans to help him work his land.1650: Thirty-thousand people are working in the tobacco fields of Virginia, including about 300 Africans. Everything seems to be running smoothly and everyone is prospering.1654: Edmund Gayton writes the first commentary in English about Don Quixote. The book is published by William Hunt in London, titled, “Pleasant Notes upon Don Quixot.” Later that same year, slavery is introduced to North America when Anthony Johnson convinces the court of Northampton County that he is entitled to the lifetime services of John Casor. This would be the first judicial approval of life servitude, except as punishment for a crime.As I return from my morning walk, I discover catastophic chaos raging in the pond, the unintended consequences of a pebble tossed. The ripples that bounce off the shores of the pond result in unintended collisions and consequences as all sense of symmetry disappears.Some people say only about 3,000 people were executed by the Spanish Inquisition. Other people say it was more like 30,000. No one has ever claimed it was 300,000. But the pebble of tobacco tossed by John Rolfe killed more than 100,000,000 people in the 20th century alone. We can only guess at the number killed by lung cancer and emphysema during the previous two centuries. Tobacco continues to kill about 8 million people a year.The pebble of slavery tossed by Anthony Johnson resulted in the subjugation of millions of innocent people in America for exactly 201 years. And the waves of that storm continue to crash upon the beach 161 years after the Emancipation Proclamation of Abraham Lincoln.Anthony, Anthony, Anthony… why did you throw that pebble 370 years ago?Anthony, if you are listening, please know that you are remembered as a hardworking and successful man who lived with his loving wife Mary for more than 40 years and...

So, it's the mid-19th century. There are no movies, no tv, and definitely no internet – yeah, a person doesn't have many choices for entertainment. But one man would find a way to thrill the masses, even if it meant putting his life at stake! So, his name was William Leonard Hunt, better known as… the Great Farini! The future stuntman, traveler, and inventor is a 14-year-old boy with big ambitions. He's decided he was made for performing, but his strict parents won't even let him go to the circus – probably the biggest form of entertainment at the time. Young Willie starts practicing with a copper wire in his barnyard – he trains himself to walk across it. When the traveling circus comes to town, Willie knows there's no way he can miss it. The performances fascinate him, so he starts practicing acrobatics. He masters rope-walking, tumbling, and carrying heavy objects. When Willie is 21 years old, his father takes a trip to England. With his old man gone, now is his chance! A local fair committee comes to see the young performer. They need to find out if he can tightrope-walk over the Ganaraska River. William Hunt had his awe-inspiring performance. A year later, in 1860, Farini performed the same walk across the Niagara. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

William Hunt aka The Great Farini gav lige præcis nul fucks. Cirkusartisten, linedanseren, ekspeditionslederen og human zoo-ejeren var ikke tynget af hverken skrupler eller frygt. Hverken når det kom til forretning eller scenekunst. Han var fuldstændig ligeglad med om han skulle gå på line på tværs af Niagara Falls med en vaskemaskine på ryggen, finde en oldgammel, tabt civilisation eller proppe sin datter ned i en kanon og tænde for lunten. Så længe han kunne høste anerkendelse og stående applaus bagefter. Men William Hunts konstante higen efter berømmelse og publikums gunst skulle ende med at koste ham det allermest dyrbare, han havde...

(2020, June 5). Behind the Scenes Look Inside the New York State Capitol in Albany. Untapped New York. https://untappedcities.com/2020/06/05/behind-the-scenes-inside-the-new-york-state-capitol-in-albany/   TRANSCRIPT: Hello, and welcome to Crimes & Witch-Demeanors!  I'm your host, Joshua Spellman.  We're starting the year off right with something we should have covered earlier…a haunted library!  Or…at least a haunting that was caused by a library.    The New York State Capitol Building, in Albany is home to three known spirits: the artist William Morris Hunt, a night watchman named Samuel Abbott, and a fruit vendor.  There was a death of a construction worker at the site that may contribute to the hauntings, but it is not confirmed.  Both the fruit vendor and the construction worker have remained nameless in all the internet articles I've read…until now.  Join me in discovering their identities and learning more about the tragic fire that erased centuries of history and caused billions of dollars of damage…which of course lets us touch briefly on the importance of libraries, preservation, and the dangers that digital and physical records pose to the preservation of our history and culture.   BUT…before we get to our main ghost story we have to talk about the building itself because not only is it impressive, it is integral to the spirits that haunt it.   The New York State Capitol is an incredibly large and imposing structure that fills two whole city blocks.  Five architects had worked on its design and it was heralded as one of the most beautiful buildings in America…though others criticized it for being an oversized and costly spectacle.  Which…they weren't wrong about.  Construction took place between 1867 and 1899 at a cost of over 25 million dollars, or the modern equivalent of 768 million.  It was built by hand using white granite from Maine and in places the walls are four to five feet thick.   Its style is unique…and that is in part because of its five architects that did not work on the project simultaneously leading to what historians refer to it as the “Battle of the Styles”.  It also has led to some interesting mishaps, not all stemming from its numerous architects, but they are major oversights nonetheless.  Some highlights include the building initially being built on top of quick sand!  Not sure how that happened!  They had to dig out all the sand and replace it with clay and concrete.  Another major mistake was that the original cornerstone of the building, which contains a time capsule, has been lost because the builders forgot to mark it.   The first architect, Thomas Fuller, designed the first floor in a Classical and Romanesque style.  However, from 1875-1883, Henry Hobson Richardson and Leopold Eidlitz worked on the building and continued the design in a Renaissance style.  During this time, Frederick Law Olmstead, who was a frequent collaborator with Richardson, was hired for the landscape architecture.  The final architect on the project was Isaac G. Perry, assigned to the project by Grover Cleveland.  He became the first New York State architect and is known for many institutional buildings and asylums across the state.   While the exterior itself is impressive the interior is absolutely breathtaking.  In particular, the Western Grand Staircase is a testament to the intricacies of this bold design.  Initially begun by Richardson, it was completed by Perry who kept his design but added even more carved elements than originally planned.  The Grand Staircase lacks a dome, and in fact the New York State Capitol is one of only 10 US Capitol buildings without one, but in its place is a magnificent 3,000 square foot skylight.  Which is…bigger than any house I've lived in.  I cannot even fathom it.  The vaulted ceilings and sandstone walls are carved with intricate acanthus leaf designs around 77 famous faces of the day.  The sandstone carvers were also allowed to carve a memory into the sandstone, many choosing to carve the faces of their wives or children.  However, one of these artisans had a dark side as he chose to carve the face of a demon tucked between some leaves in a dark hallway.  It is so small and tiny that it is said if you can find the face on your own, you yourself are a devil.   The devil is surely in the details and the capitol building is full of them.  One of the lost details are the murals of artist William Morris Hunter.  Hunt was commissioned to paint two 45 foot long murals directly onto the sandstone walls of the Assembly Chamber.  They were titled “The Flight of Night” and “Discover” and Hunt considered them to be his magnum opus.  Sadly, the ceiling of the Assembly Chamber was deemed unstable and had to be lowered significantly, permanently obscuring the artwork.  Future murals that were planned were deserted due to a lack of funding.  The destruction of these works are largely attributed to the deepening of his depression and eventual suicide.  His ghost still haunts the capitol today, mourning the loss of his greatest works.   The lowered ceiling was intended to be made of solid oak.  However, the contractor cheated the state to line his own pockets and instead used oak paneling filled with paper mâché.  While this was a contentious issue at the time it ended up saving the Assembly Chamber in 1911 when true tragedy struck.         “Good evening, what are you still doing here?” and old man asked, a lantern in one hand and a silver-handled cane in the other “Working late?”   “Good evening, Mr. Abbott!  Oh, well you know…a librarian's work is never done!” the man replied, “Plus the Tammany caucus didn't wrap up until,” he glanced at his pocket watch “nearly one o'clock this morning.  So I'm just closing up the State Library now.  I believe they're still in the Assembly Library up to God knows what! I just worry, I hate that the Assembly uses their library as a social venue…always drinking and smoking…even with their wives around!”   Old man Abbott chuckled, “Well I'll make sure they don't get into too much trouble, that's my job after all!” he said, patting the small firearm on his side.   “I will sleep a little better knowing you're on the lookout” the librarian sighed, “I suppose I'm just a little on edge about it all. With the Triangle Shirtwaist fire last week, I can't stop thinking about what would happen if something like that were to occur here with all the cigarettes flying about”   “Well,” Abbott said, thoughtfully, “they say this building is fireproof and I'm sure we'd be able to put out a blaze before it got too serious.  Remember the fire a few years ago in the cellar from the electrical?  That wasn't a problem.  We just shut the doors at it burned itself out.”   “You're right, you're right” the librarian replied, “I'm just being overly anxious.  Well, goodnight Samuel” the librarian said, waving his hand as he exited the library.   “Goodnight!” Abbott shouted back as he resumed his patrol of the stacks.   Samuel smiled, looking toward the intricate ceilings, drinking in the newfound silence of the library.  What a job he had.  What a life he had.  The relative stillness of the State Capitol at night was a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the capitol during the day, not dissimilar to the cacophony of the Civil War that oftentimes still rang through his ears   But at night.  The night was different.  A peaceful, cool stillness that only being surrounded by marble  and stone could impart.  There was nothing like wandering the corridors alone at night, absorbing the artistry all around him; every night finding some new detail tucked away into the sandstone by some coy artisan.    Despite being an old man of 78, Samuel was happy to be working.  He loved being in awe every day.  There was always something new, something exciting.  The State Library itself, with its hundreds of thousands of books, or even more exciting…the artifact collection.  Unique items and treasures from all over the world, and he was able to spend time alone with them.  And it was his job to protect them and the employees of the capitol.  There was never a night that he didn't find something to excite him, and this night was no different.   “FIRE! FIRE!” a panicked voice shouted from somewhere in the hall.  Samuel rushed out of the library as quickly as he could, and he found the man in the hall, looking around, frantic.   “What's going on?” Samuel asked, concerned.   “There's a fire.  A fire in the assembly library.  It was just a small fire on the desk it could have been put out with just a bucket of water but we couldn't find any…” the man breathed heavily “we thought we'd shut the door and let it burn out while we got something to extinguish it but…but…now it's engulfed the whole library.  We have to get everyone out!”   Samuel didn't say a word.  He just nodded in understanding and rushed back into the library.  He had to do something, “Is anyone in here?!” he shouted through the library, his voice echoing.  He just performed his rounds and didn't see anyone, but he had to make sure “There's a fire and we have to evacuate!”  He listened.  The only thing he could hear was the distant commotion in the Assembly room.   Glancing around at the thousands of books and records around him, Samuel was overcome by the importance of these volumes.  Family genealogies, state records, even materials from the founding fathers were in this library.  Without a second thought, Samuel made his way around the library, flinging open windows in hopes that it could save the material. “What are you doing?” someone gasped from the doorway of the library “We have to go!” they shouted before running off.   “I'll be out in a moment!” Samuel grumbled back, continuing his crusade to save the library.   First, smoke began to pour in from one of the other entrances.  Then flames leapt out, licking the nearest shelf of books, setting them ablaze.  Quickly, the fire spread down the stacks.  The smoke was so thick that Samuel could hardly see.   Wheezing, he hobbled on his cane out into the hall.  He could hear voices in the distance, but he seemed to be the only one around, everyone else had made it safely out the area of immediate danger.  Samuel made his way as quickly as possible to the Grand Staircase but what he saw was a scene out of the ninth circle of hell.   The fire was burning so hot that the staircase was…melting.  The staircase was turning into a molten slurry and Samuel could hear cracks forming in the massive skylight above.  He pivoted and made his way down a narrow corridor.  He knew this building like the back of his hand, this was the closest way out, just through this claustrophobic hallway.   The smoke seared his lungs.  He couldn't see.  He reached for the keys on his belt, he knew the door would be locked.  It was only a hundred feet or so.  CRACK!  The sound was deafening.  The skylight above the Grand Staircase, had shattered.  And though it was far behind him, it sounded as though it was just above him.  The walls of the corridor were crumbling, the ceiling was falling down.  Just 40 more feet.  A large chunk of stone fell next to Samuel, just missing him.  30 more feet.  He coughed.  His eyes were feeling heavy.  20 feet.  He grabbed the keys from his belt.  15 feet.  The glass of the door he was headed to shattered in front of him, which was fortunate in case he couldn't get the lock.  10 feet.  His feet felt heavy, he was losing consciousness.  But he was almost there.  5 feet.   Blackness.   Poor Samuel Abbott perished just 5 feet from safety.  His body being buried by debris, it would not be found for days.  Samuel Abbott was the sole human casualty of the 1911 Capitol Fire.  Despite his brave actions, much of the Library's collections and State records were lost.  500,000 books, over 300,000 colonial manuscripts, state census records, revolutionary war records, were destroyed alongside another 10,000 archaeological and ethnographic artifacts.  It's said that miraculously, the only items left unscathed by the inferno were the Native American artifacts.  Were they protected by ancestor spirits?   The blaze was eventually put out, completely destroying about a quarter of the capitol.  Unfortunately, none of the material, not the building were insured.  Which was especially detrimental since the fire caused anywhere from 8 million to 12 million dollars in damage.  The modern equivalent of 209 to 314 million today.   In a strange twist of fate, the paper mâché paneling in the assembly room that covered up William Morris Hunt's artwork may have helped save the day.  If the ceiling in the Assembly was made of solid oak as planned, it would have been destroyed in minutes.  However, the filling of the paneling absorbed the water from the firefighter's hoses and slowed the progress of the fire.  Saving the Assembly room from total wreckage, and preventing the spread of the fire to the rest of the Capitol.   The jangle of keys can be heard late at night.  Locked doorknobs turn and are tugged at.  It appears that Samuel's ghost is still wandering the halls.  Not in pain, but happily carrying out his nightly duties, ensuring that everyone in the building is safe.  Helping to avoid any future tragedy that may befall the Capitol.         For a story about a library fire the accuracy of the articles out there are astoundingly poor.  In more than one article William Morris Hunt is called William Morris Hunter.  Luckily he's a larger figure in the art world and this is easily remedied but it had been Samuel Abbott that was misnamed it would make research on him much more difficult.   I feel so bad for Samuel Abbott, especially because he was so close to escaping.  His body was lost in the ruins and wasn't discovered until March 31st.  Here is an excerpt from the Brooklyn Times Union titled “Body is Found in Albany Ruins”:   “About 7:30 o'clock this morning, as the men tackled the debris near the entrance, they discovered a charred leg protruding upwards.  Shortly after the body was uncovered and taken from the ruins.  The head and trunk were not burned, but the four limbs were charred.   Had Abbott been able to continue on his way he would have found safety within five feet.  The door, although locked, is partly glass and would have broken easily.  It is supposed the smoke drove him out of the library proper, and he was overcome on his way to safety.”   This is also the main excerpt I based the narration on, since (naturally) not much is available on what happened to him specifically that night.  Though accounts of other staff members are plentiful.   However, I weaved facts in the rest of the narration.  Parts of the sandstone did melt under the heat of the flames and the giant skylight completely shattered from the heat.  The amount of damage to the building and the records inside it is astounding.  While the cause of the fire is still debated, today it's usually attributed to a cigar or cigarette that was discarded improperly during the caucus.  However, all the newspapers I read said it was due to faulty wiring, which was the cause of the previous fire in the cellar.  There were reports of electrical issues in the Assembly room and the Assembly Library prior to the fire so it is a possibility.  Reports on this differ and it's impossible to know now what truly started the blaze. The damage was incredible, and the descriptions of how the building essentially acted as a chimney for flames to shoot through and carry to other parts of the building is horrifying.  You can see pictures of the damage on the podcast Instagram.  It's worth a look.   This fire still impacts research in the modern day as so many historical records, even those dating to colonial times were destroyed.  However, this leads me to address a major part of this story that has become legend: that none of the indigenous artifacts were damaged in the fire.   This obviously is an ominous and spooky fact that has spread over the last century… but it's only partially true.  The night of the fire many brave librarians, archivists, and archaeologists did what any of us would do – attempt to save our cultural heritage.    Arthur Parker, the first New York State archaeologist ran the length of the fourth floor hallway brandishing a tomahawk that was passed down through generations of Seneca natives.  He used the tomahawk as a fire ax and rescued as many artifacts as he was able.  He managed to only save 50 of the 500 Iroquois artifacts on display, but it was better than having them all perish in the flames.  So…yes.  Some of the indigenous materials were saved, but it was due to human intervention, not the spectral.   Other librarians managed to save rare volumes and artifacts including the original manuscript of George Washington's farewell address and the copy of the Emancipation Proclamation that Abraham Lincoln had written by hand.   One of the more heartwarming things I read in the newspapers were the other librarians from across the world lending assistance and condolences.  In an article in the Syracuse Post Standard, Mary J. Sibley, the librarian at Syracuse University, offered the use of the library to the Capitol Building's State Library School.  The head librarian from the Imperial University in Tokyo also send kind words and support via telegram.   We'll get back to paranormal ghosts in a moment but the true ghosts of the fire is the hundreds of thousands of lost records that were vital to learning our country's history.  However, this fire and the famous Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire that happened only days prior, led to major fire safety reforms.  Library fires have destroyed many important records: most famously the 1921 fire that destroyed almost the entirety of the 1890 census, or more recently the 2018 museum fire in Brazil that destroyed over 200 years of records and artifacts.   One of the most annoying things I hear surrounding these fires is “Why didn't they have all of it scanned and digital?”  And there is so much to unpack here, it would probably take another hour of explaining the intricacies of not only digitization but digital preservation.  But here's the cliff notes: most of the world's knowledge is on paper.  Well over 90% of it, in fact.  Why is it not digital?  There's a number of factors—the largest being that digitization is expensive.  It takes a lot of manual labor that libraries, museums, and archives do not have the funding or manpower for in addition to storage and maintenance costs.  Digital records are also a lot more volatile than paper ones.  How many times have you opened a file and it was corrupt?  Or you accidentally deleted something from your hard drive?  Things like this can wipe out thousands of records in an instant.  Also, digital records need constant upkeep as file formats become obsolete and as they suffer from bitrot…yes, digital files do rot…there's a lot.  The long and short of it is that paper records are typically easier to preserve.  Ideally you would have the paper copies and numerous copies of digital surrogates stored in different geographic locations with different natural disaster threats.  But I digress.   The moral of the story is digital media is more prone to destruction and requires constant upkeep while paper records can be managed with benign neglect.   Okay, sorry for the lecture.  Let's talk about the ghosts we haven't met yet—the unnamed fruit vendor and the construction worker.   The spirit of the vendor was said to be discovered when a female tour guide was locking up for the night when she saw a large, black mass fall from one of the upper floors to ground below.  To her surprise, there was nothing there.  After telling her fellow tour guides they were confused because there had never been ghost sightings in that portion of the building.  It was later discovered that in 1890 a depressed fruit vendor flung himself from the fourth floor Senate Chamber staircase and died.  There are numerous reports of people seeing something fall from the staircase and when they look they have seen a man bleeding out on the stones.  However, once they go to get help there is nothing there upon their return.   Surprisingly, no articles name this fruit vendor which had me doubting his existence.  I came across the story on a fluke and I would never have found this information if it wasn't for some faulty OCR..which if you don't know is optical character recognition.  Essentially computer readings of scanned images.  I was searching for fruit vendors in 1890 using modern spelling “v-e-n-d-o-r” but luckily the OCR on a newspaper was incorrect and I still go the hit.  It turns out in 1890 it was spelled “v-e-n-d-e-r” and for some really odd reason, the story of the fruit vendor's suicide was exclusive to this Brooklyn newspaper.  Brooklyn is nowhere near Albany but again, I digress.    The story is honestly super graphic and surprising for a Victorian-era article, but the article from the Brooklyn Citizen reads as follows:   An Unusual Suicide: A Fruit Vender Kills Himself in the State Capitol (special to the citizen)   Albany, April 17th: At about 8:45 this morning Jacob Thorne, a sidewalk fruit vender, jumped or fell down the Senate staircase, a distance of eighty-five feet, to the second floor and was instantly killed, his head being crushed to jelly.  He was about 65 years of age, and had been in ill health for some time, and was supposed by many to be slightly deranged.  The suicide theory is accepted, as the body lay almost in the centre of the court”   So, now we know that his name was Jacob Thorne.  Why he's never mentioned by name anywhere is beyond me.  I tried to do more research into him, and I thought I came across him…a farmer named Jacob Thorne in the Albany area.  At first it appeared that he was still alive after 1890 but when I saw he was listed on a census for no reason, his wife was listed as widowed, I thought it may be him.  But alas, it was not.  I searched for a good amount of time through numerous resources and only came across the Jacob Thorne that was not him.  This leads me to believe either the records were destroyed or perhaps he was black.  But I'm just glad that his name is out there now, because the dead should be remembered.    This includes the construction worker who's spirit may or may not haunt the grounds.  In all the stories it is said that a man who was plastering the ceilings in the Senate Assembly room in 1878 fell on a Saturday night and he wasn't discovered until Monday morning, still alive.  Doctor's attempted to save his life but he died two days later.  Is this story the truth?   According to the Buffalo Courier and the Poughkeepsie Eagle, on Monday, October 29, 1878, two men had fallen while working on the capital building on the same day, at different times, and were both seriously injured.  So there's one discrepancy, there were two men: Patrick Stanton and John Hunt.  Stanton fell from the scaffolding while Hunt fell through a ventilation hole in the ceiling when removing its co ver.  Yet another inaccuracy is that this incident occurred on a Monday and not over the weekend as the story goes.  They were both immediately taken to the hospital for medical attention.    Neither of them appears to have died.  Though there was a John Hunter that died the same day who was a mason.  However, he's buried in Brooklyn.  It's possible it was him, but the name isn't an exact match.  The articles title…which I must read since it is…something else does say that there was a death from injuries.  The title is “Important River News: Items from our Exchanges ; Two Accidents At The Capital - Died From His Injuries - The Body of Eagan Found In The River - Fires - A Pet Dog Roasted In An Oven - Strange Disappearance Of An Aged Lady - Sad Accident in Troy”   This…is a sidebar we need to touch on.  I come across so many bizarre stories when reading newspapers.  The dog story…I just need to share.  I shouldn't laugh but it's so weird!   “A lady living on Front Street, west of Swan, had a favorite little pet dog about the house up to Thursday last.  On that day he mysteriously disappeared, and Sunday, when the lady had occasion to open for the first time since Thursday, the oven door of the kitchen stove, the roast remains of the per were found”  WHAT.  I need to know more.  But that's not why were' here.   Curiously, the article also mentions that there was a fatality of someone by the name Riley in the Assembly room due to ventilation holes which had been covered at this point.  Is this the ghost of the worker who fell?  Or is this an additional death not mentioned previously.  Either way, this is a mystery that I unfortunately spent over an hour trying to figure out and one that for now, will remain unsolved.  If either of these men were to die it seems it would have been John Hunt as he was suffering from “intense internal pain” that they couldn't find the cause of.   The ghost of William Morris Hunt is said to be felt in the Assembly Chamber where his prized works were covered up and then later destroyed.  No one has ever seen his ghost, but instead he has been “felt” and the lights will occasionally flicker.  Which could be his ghost…but it makes me think of the faulty wiring that may have ignited the blaze.  The doorknobs in the room also rattle and doors slam shut and open on their own.   However, I like to think this is the ghost of Samuel Abbott, making sure doors are locked and shut as he makes his nightly rounds.  The idea that Mr. Abbott is still trying to keep people safe, that this building has a guardian spirit makes me smile.  And on this smile-worthy note we shall close.    There is so much history that was lost and so much history to uncover at the New York State Capitol, an hour could be dedicated to all the information I couldn't fit in.  I'm recording this episode on Tuesday night because I spent way too much time investigating some of these ghosts!   If you have any places you want me to investigate, please let me know!  Tell a friend about this podcast if you think they'd like it.  So please, stay away from scaffolding, say thank-you to your local librarian, and as always stay curious and stay spooky.  Bye~

George Silver wrote about the quarterstaff as a reality. It was a weapon he used to fight and defend his honour with. ... As a battlefield weapon the quarterstaff would be an oak or ash pole of about eight or nine feet in length, wih a circumference of about 4 and a half inches. It was a foot weapon of attack and defence.If we now travel back in history to documents written between 1540 and 1590 we can see written evidence of the English Maisters of defence. The officially recognised teachers were the company of maisters, these documents record the playing of prizes. The order of playing the free schollers prize, the Provosts prize, and the maisters prize. The playing of prizes was a very public affair, with the posting of bills declaring that a prize was to be played, which was an open invitation to any man to come along and challenge the player of the prize. The prize playing in London was held at a number of Inne's and playhouses, such as the Bull in Bishopsgate, Leaden hall, at the Greyfriars at Newgate, and at the Tower royal, salisbury court, Rochester house, Bridewell palace, and at the castle inn in Holborn. But the prefered places for the playing of prizes were the belsavage on Ludgate hill, and the Bull in Bishopsgate. The company of maisters were a well organised company and made provision for aged maisters, the welfare of it's practitioners, the hiring and teaching of qualified teachers, as well as financial matters and the relationship of the company to the outside world. Following are some of the prizes played, where the quarterstaff was one of the weapons used. William Pascall Plaid his maisters prize at the Leadenhall with three maisters, that is to say, Humphrey Basset, Roberte Cooke, and William Hunt, at iiij kinde of weapon videlicet the Long sword ( two hand sword ) the backsworde, the dagger, and the quarterstaff. Provost prize at the session hall without Newgate at iii weapons, the long sword, the backsworde, and the quarterstaff, with three provosts, William Hunt, John A Woode, and Robert Grene. Played his Schollers prize at Estham with xiiij scollars, at backsword, and the quarterstaff. Richard White plaid his provost prize at the leaden hall, at the long sword, backsword, and quarterstaff, with Edward Britten, and John Barfett. Robert Edmunds plaid his maisters prize at the whitehall before King Philip and Quene Marie at iii kinds of weapon, long sword, backsworde, and quarterstaff, thear played against him two maisters, Richard White, and Thomas Weaver.

On today’s episode, there is celebration in heaven over the just destruction of Babylon, the great prostitute. By contrast, the marriage supper of the Lamb is announced, and His bride is dressed in fine linen, representing the righteous acts of the saints. The beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, and the false prophet are all thrown into the lake that burns with sulfur. Satan is bound in the abyss for a thousand years, then released in order to deceive the nations and gather them for battle against the saints, but they, too, are handily defeated. After the great white throne judgment, John sees the New Jerusalem, a city of glorious prosperity and security, illumined by the glory of God.:::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Eric Williamson.facebook.com/commuterbibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org:::Thanks to the members of our Patreon team for support in 2019: Austin Womble, Beth Salesky, Bobby and Julia Brown, Brooke Ann, Clint Walters, Daniel Mechtly, David Alston, Derik Duley, DR Woods, Eric Williamson, Gary and Rachel Atwell, Hayden Wickland, J.

Revelation 3:19-22 Series: Just Conquer #13 # Introduction The church of God has often been found in bad shape, but not abandoned. She regularly deserves rebuke, but even the rebuke is a sign of God's love for her. It's one thing for a church to think that she doesn't really need God, it is a much worse thing for God to let a church keep thinking that. The Laodicean church is infamous for invoking Jesus' gag-reflex. Their lukewarm, complacent attitude made Him wish that they were almost anything other than what they were. No one has higher standards for a church than Jesus, no one knows better how a church measures up to those standards, and no one offers better news to weaksauce churches than The Amen. In the first part of Jesus' message to the church in Laodicea Jesus called out their Middle-Meh and counseled them to buy all the things they thought they already had. They thought they were rich, Jesus said to buy from Him pure gold. They thought they had impressive taste in textiles, Jesus said to buy from Him white garments. They thought their optometry department gave them 20/20 vision, Jesus said to buy from Him eye-salve for the soul so that they could truly see. In verses 19-22 Jesus explains more and gives quite a JustConquer promise. # Love's Paideia (verse 19) It's about time that Jesus really lay into this church, isn't it? The faithful and true Witness has to be tired of their half-hearted and basket-covered light. They are like an oral suppository, with a taste like sweaty socks in the compost pile. The Laodiceans didn't even realize that the wealth they had was from Jesus and that He was offering them even greater wealth if they would just depend on Him. So after the vomit comment we're ready for the prophetic hammer: **I reprove and discipline**. The word **reprove** is confrontation, exposing the problem and bringing a person to see the wrong for himself (BAGD). To reprove a tumor you'd slice open some space to work. **Discipline**may have a punishing vibe, the kind of thing dad might say while he's taking off his belt for a whooping. But there are a few things that show this isn't a humiliating punishment (in addition to the offers in verse 18). Jesus said, "I myself reprove and discipline as many of those whom I am loving." The target of The Amen's discipline are _His loved ones_. He loves the Laodiceans. And He loves them like family. The verbs **reprove** and **discipline** in verse 19 are the same verbs used in the Greek translation of Proverbs 3 (also quoted in full in Hebrews 12:5-6). > My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline > Or be weary of his reproof, > for the LORD reproves him whom he loves, > As a father the son in whom he delights. > (Proverbs 3:11-12) Jesus is not the Father, though He does refer to God as His Father in verse 21, the third time He's referred to His Father to the churches (also 2:27, 3:5). He's not the Father, but He is still family. When He said "those whom I love," the Greek word is a form of _phileo_, usually a brotherly-love, a relational love (which is different from _agapan_ in the LXX for Proverbs 3:12). It's _personal_ to Jesus. And back to the word **discipline**, it is the word you've heard about, _paideia_. It is less like spanking and more like schooling. It is all of the educating, enculturating process to get a child (from _παιδίον_) to grow into a responsible child-maker himself. Following in His Father's footsteps, Jesus personally and lovingly and purposefully doesn't let the lukewarm be happy lying in the puddles of their lukewarmness. Tepidity isn't terminal, not for those Jesus loves. **Therefore be zealous and repent**. The **repent** part we've heard Him say before (to the Ephesians, the Pergammumites, the Thyatirans, and the Sardisians), and the **be zealous** (_zeleue_) plays with the "hot" (_zestos_) from earlier in the message. _Our zeal_, and especially zeal to turn toward what is a better way of thinking, is motivated by _His love_. His love is the heat that causes our affections to boil. His love transforms our trusts. Because He loves His church, what should we do? Repent. # Zeal for a Meal (verse 20) It's got to be about time for this tepid church to get busy doing good works that are really good works. Once they get the engine humming with zeal and the wheels turned in the right repentance direction, they should really make some progress. Jesus calls the Laodiceans to consider another analogy, and not just due to anachronism. **Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will eat with him and he with me.** This is a personal invitation to personal fellowship. The invitation is to those in the church, but Jesus is not standing at the actual door of the physical church building (so [_not_ like William Hunt's painting from the 1850s](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Light_of_the_World_%28painting%29)). Similar words to The Song of Solomon 5:2, “A sound! My beloved is knocking. ‘Open to me, my sister my love.'” The phrasing also has similarities to the master returning to his servants in Luke 12:35-37. There are some who think that Jesus is talking to *un*believers and they use this verse as part of a gospel presentation. "Jesus is waiting patiently for you to let Him into your heart. Open the door and He will come in." But first, Jesus has been talking to the _church_ in Laodicea, whose problem was spiritual tepidity, not spiritual deadness. And/but second, this _is totally good news_ for the spiritual tepid. It is evangel for the lukewarm. "Jesus has not walked away from you even though you're acting as if you don't need Him. Your blind self-sufficiency can be conquered just by opening the proverbial door to Jesus." It's not conversion, but communion. Have you been acting as if He is irrelevant? Have you been acting as if you have all that you need? Have you been acting as if your branch can produce fruit just fine without abiding in the vine? Hear the knock, open the door. This is personal: if _anyone_, _My_ voice, come in to _him_, and eat with _him_, and _he_ with _Me_. Even the imagery of entering a home and sharing a meal together is personal, life on life. Jesus isn't sending the repentant on a quest, Jesus is inviting Himself to fellowship with the repentant. Talk about enculturation. Sharing a meal like this with Jesus is like setting a pot of water on an open flame: it won't stay tepid. # Thrones of a Kind (verse 21) It is not obvious that the Laodiceans deserved any kind of JustConquer promise. It is also not super obvious how this JustConquer promise fits with the invitation. Let's work at it. There is one promise made by Jesus in verse 21: **I will grant**. What He promises to give "to the one conquering" is a gift, but the gift is not a noun (person, place, thing, etc.). Jesus offers a _future_. "To the one conquering I will give to sit with Me, on My throne." In context, what is being conquered? What are these overcoming ones overcoming? They are not conquering lovelessness (Ephesus), they are not conquering fear of suffering and death (Smyrna), they are not conquering worldly compromise or idolatry or false teaching. The one conquering in Laodicea is primarily conquering tepidity. And those are the ones who Jesus promises to make rulers. All of the promises to conquerers in the churches relate to the future, to various parts of eternal life and fellowship. Jesus told the Thyatirans about ruling with Him (Revelation 2:26-27), and here we move from fellowship with Him to reigning with Him. Open the door to Jesus, give Him a seat at your table, and He will give you a seat on His throne. It is usually wrong to (attempt to) sit in God's throne. Now Jesus offers it. We will be given to sit on Jesus' throne, Jesus said, **as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on His throne**. How did He conquer? He conquered not first by His resurrection, He conquered by depending on His Father in fellowship. Jesus made the good confession because He loved and was loved by His Father. Jesus was given a throne, which we'll see in Revelation 4-5, as worthy to sit on the throne, because He stayed in fellowship with His Father at the cost of His life. Likewise Jesus will put His people with Him in ruling positions because we have been with Him in fellowship. Are there two thrones, one for the Father and another for the Son? Or is there just one throne? I think there are two, but won't be upset if there is one. A good possibility is that the Father's throne is in heaven (which the Son also shares, see Revelation 7:17), and Jesus' throne in which His people will also sit, is on earth. There is more about that throne and ruling in the later chapters of Revelation. > Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. (Revelation 20:4) JustConquer Promise #7: _the one who overcomes soul tepidity by staying in fellowship with Christ will reign with Christ_. **He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.** # Conclusion Repentance and zeal (verse 19) lead to a desire for fellowship with Jesus (verse 20), which _is_ conquering (spiritual tepidity), and results in ruling with Him (verse 21). This is not the only message, obviously. But it is the last message of seven, maybe the most severe, the most simple, and the most promising. Jesus says that we are conquering the world by our _dependence_ on and _fellowship_ with Jesus. If being lukewarm goes with thinking that we don't really need Him, and if He counsels the lukewarm to get their needs from Him, and if His follow up to being zealous and repenting includes a shared meal, then we are overcoming like Him and will reign with Him. It reminds me of the crew at St. Anne's in _That Hideous Strength_. They had tasks to do, but their work was mostly mundane, except in their work of being in fellowship with one another and waiting for deliverance. There are no hacks for being lukewarm. Be zealous and repent and stay in fellowship with Christ no matter the cost. Be hot, not in angry volcanic offense, but be hot on grace. Be cold, not like bitter winds of resentment, but bringing good news (see Proverbs 25:25; Matthew 10:42). JustConquer tepidity. --- ## Charge Christmas will not fix your problems. It may exacerbate some of them. But it is the perfect time in the church calendar to remember that sentimentalism's joy is as cozy as pajamas made of wrapping paper. A Christmas of sentimentalism is as sickening to Jesus as powered hot chocolate made with motor oil. “Feeling Christmasy” is not the same as fellowship with Christ. Open the door to Him, He will come in and watch you wrap presents in His name, and decorate cookies in His name, and craft wreaths in His name. JustConquer being ruled by the season so that you will one day rule with Him. ## Benediction: > [May you know] what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all. (Ephesians 1:19–23, ESV)

O que você faz quando uma situação está te incomodando? Continua do mesmo jeito, só reclamando de tudo, se fazendo de vítima ou toma alguma atitude para mudar? Diariamente vejo muitas pessoas que passam o tempo todo reclamando da vida, que as coisas estão dando sempre errado, que não está tendo oportunidade disso e daquilo. Nós sempre temos na ponta da língua um motivo "perfeito" que fez a gente não realizar aquela atividade. E na lista das milhares de desculpas possíveis a que tem sido mais frequente é “não tive tempo”. Concorda? Tirando as coisas que estão totalmente fora de nossa linha de controle ou atuação, as outras simplesmente não foram priorizadas ou escolhidas. Você não leu aquele livro porque teve preguiça.
