00:20 >>John Bradshaw: The Bible is a rescue story.
00:23 After Adam and Eve fell,
00:25 they found themselves held fast by sin.
00:29 It's true they had only themselves to blame
00:32 for the mess that they were in, but rather than leave them
00:35 to the consequences of their misdeeds,
00:38 heaven swung into action,
00:40 and the greatest rescue in the history of the universe began.
00:46 Now, together we're going to look
00:48 at another remarkable rescue story.
00:51 ♪[music continues]♪
00:54 This rescue took place prior to the Civil War,
00:57 and some say it paved the way for the Civil War.
01:00 Involved were a group of Christians,
01:02 a number of university students, a fugitive,
01:06 and a group of people committed to returning
01:08 the fugitive to his home. [shouting]
01:11 There was civil disobedience and cooperation
01:13 between people of different races--
01:15 no small thing considering this rescue occurred in 1858.
01:21 In defiance of federal law, a town rallied to free a man
01:25 who had been legally captured,
01:27 but this group decided they just weren't going to take it.
01:31 And they didn't.
01:33 ♪[dramatic music]♪ [sound of leaves blown by wind]
01:40 It's 1833. A new town is created in northern Ohio.
01:46 This community, called Oberlin, would soon become the home
01:50 of a missionary training school.
01:52 It wouldn't take long before Oberlin College was committed
01:55 to the abolition of slavery.
01:58 >>David Hill: Oberlin was founded as a religious utopia.
02:01 Uh, it was designed to be a, a community
02:03 where people of faith came.
02:05 You actually signed a faith covenant
02:06 to be part of the Oberlin community.
02:09 And in the earliest days of the Oberlin colony,
02:12 the, um, church, the faith community, the town,
02:15 and the college were like this--
02:17 they were all interwoven together.
02:19 There was no way to separate them out.
02:21 >>Kurt Russell: The idea of this small, little town
02:24 was really based upon making sure that everyone had a voice,
02:29 and that we'll be this hot spots of abolitionism,
02:32 this hot spot of freedom.
02:35 >>Elizabeth Schultz: It was very radical.
02:36 This is a place where black families
02:38 really had opportunities,
02:40 uh, business, educational, and just safety at that time.
02:44 ♪[reflective music]♪
02:45 >>John: Slavery was abolished in Ohio in 1802.
02:49 The town of Oberlin was fully integrated.
02:51 Blacks and whites operated businesses
02:53 right next to each other,
02:54 and they worshiped together in church.
02:57 In fact, instead of celebrating the Fourth of July,
03:00 many Oberlin residents dedicated that day
03:02 to holding anti-slavery meetings.
03:05 Oberlin was considered "an academic powder keg
03:08 for abolitionism" and "the most noted abolition town"
03:12 in all of North America.
03:15 At Oberlin, white students and black students,
03:18 males and females studied alongside each other.
03:22 Students worked in agriculture or mechanics,
03:25 as well as pursuing academics.
03:27 And great numbers of missionaries were sent out.
03:30 The Oberlin church had decided that slavery was a sin,
03:34 and slave holders were not welcome to attend.
03:38 Charles Finney, a professor of theology at Oberlin College
03:41 before becoming the school's president,
03:43 denounced slavery from the pulpit,
03:45 calling it "a great national sin."
03:48 How did Oberlin become such a stronghold of abolitionism?
03:54 >>David: I think a good part of that has to do with, um,
03:57 the popularity of Charles Finney, when this--
03:59 he was the one that designed this space
04:01 that you and I are sitting in today, which, um--
04:04 his following was so powerful that it,
04:06 it actually reached the point where they wouldn't all fit
04:08 in this building, and they had to build
04:10 a second congregational church, not because of the division
04:13 but because they just needed more space.
04:15 So, I think Charles Finney was really passionate about it.
04:18 He looked at the members of the community that had came here.
04:21 Uh, if you were a captive and managed to escape
04:24 and came to Oberlin, you didn't have to hide out;
04:26 you could live openly in this community.
04:28 You were welcomed in this community.
04:29 So they were both black and white abolitionist leaders
04:32 that lived here.
04:33 >>John: Ohio's anti-slavery stance wasn't unusual.
04:37 Pennsylvania banned slavery in 1780.
04:40 Massachusetts and Rhode Island followed suit before 1785.
04:45 Vermont banned slavery on July 2, 1777,
04:49 even before it was a state.
04:51 The United States banned the importation of slaves in 1808,
04:56 but it would be another 55 years
04:58 before the Emancipation Proclamation would be signed.
05:03 By the middle of the 19th century, life had become
05:05 more complicated for abolitionists
05:07 living in the North.
05:09 While it had been illegal to assist a fugitive from slavery
05:13 since 1793, the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 compelled people
05:19 to assist in the capture of a fugitive from slavery
05:21 if it was deemed necessary for them to do so.
05:24 Those who refused could be fined or imprisoned.
05:27 Now, it was very difficult to prove that any African American
05:31 was not a fugitive from slavery.
05:34 Those accused of being such were denied a trial
05:38 and could not testify in their own behalf.
05:41 Making matters worse, the commissioner deciding
05:44 such cases was paid $5 if he decided
05:48 in behalf of the fugitive,
05:50 $10 if he decided in behalf of the slave owner.
05:55 So, not only was the law massively unjust,
05:58 it was also open to terrible abuse.
06:02 [wind blowing]
06:03 In the winter of 1856, three people
06:06 decided to escape to freedom.
06:09 Frank, Dinah, and a man named John Price fled
06:13 from slave owner John Bacon in Mason County, Kentucky.
06:18 Escaping as they did was extraordinarily risky,
06:21 especially given the hostile weather.
06:24 On foot they crossed a frozen Ohio River,
06:27 avoided main roads,
06:28 traveling mainly at night to avoid detection,
06:31 before making it to north-central Ohio in February.
06:35 Price and his friends traveled via the Underground Railroad,
06:38 an informal network of routes taken
06:41 by enslaved African Americans out of the South
06:44 and on to freedom, either in Northern states or in Canada,
06:49 where fugitives were welcomed and even given citizenship.
06:54 Most who escaped never made it to freedom and were returned
06:58 to the farms or plantations from which they fled.
07:03 John Price and his fellow fugitive Frank
07:05 were living in Oberlin, Ohio, by early-to mid-1858.
07:10 Price worked as he was able
07:12 and was otherwise supported by charity.
07:14 But even in Oberlin, he wasn't completely safe.
07:18 Slave catchers might be sent to retrieve the property
07:22 of Southern slave owners.
07:25 Someone like John Price was worth around $1,000,
07:29 which is about $40,000 today.
07:31 He might have been worth as much as $1,500--$60,000 today.
07:36 So there was real money to be lost
07:38 when a slave ran for freedom.
07:40 Slave owners were highly motivated to get them back.
07:44 Slave catchers were also well remunerated.
07:48 For bringing in somebody like John Price,
07:50 a slave catcher might earn as much as $1,000.
07:53 Again, that's $40,000 today.
07:57 The arrival of a certain mysterious stranger in Oberlin
08:01 set local residents on edge.
08:04 Anderson Jennings was the neighbor of John Bacon.
08:08 John Bacon was the owner of John Price, Frank, and Dinah
08:14 back in Mason County, Kentucky.
08:16 On the pretext of finding work for John,
08:18 certain associates of Jennings lured him
08:20 into a horse-drawn carriage,
08:22 took him out to the edge of town, and just like that,
08:25 John Price had been captured without any fuss at all.
08:29 He'd be taken out of free Ohio back to the farm
08:33 and the life which he had escaped.
08:37 And that might have been the end of the story,
08:39 except that the slave catcher Jennings didn't anticipate
08:43 the resistance he'd be up against
08:45 from the people of Oberlin.
08:47 What transpired is said to have paved the way, in part,
08:50 for the Civil War.
08:52 ♪[somber music]♪ [dramatic swoosh sound]
08:56 After narrowly avoiding having to go to war
08:58 against his own people, David, who at the time was a fugitive
09:02 from King Saul, returns to his temporary home in Ziklag
09:06 to discover the city had been burned to the ground,
09:09 and his possessions and, far worse,
09:12 the women and children had all been taken.
09:15 After inquiring of God what he ought to do,
09:17 David and his men pursued the Amalekite raiders.
09:21 After a day of battle, they were triumphant,
09:25 and David and his community were all reunited.
09:29 Now, while it didn't quite rise to that level in this case,
09:32 the rescue of John Price was dramatic
09:35 and its effects far reaching.
09:37 He was transported by his captors here, to Wellington,
09:41 eight or nine miles south of Oberlin.
09:43 Jennings, the slave catcher, planned to have John
09:46 on the 5:13 p.m. train
09:48 from Wellington to Columbus, Ohio,
09:50 and back on the farm in Mason County, Kentucky, within a day.
09:54 Except that, on their way to Wellington,
09:57 the group passed a carriage coming in the other direction
10:01 toward Oberlin.
10:03 In that carriage was Ansel Lyman,
10:05 an Oberlin student and a staunch abolitionist.
10:09 Within 15 minutes Tappan Square was filled with people
10:13 who were armed and ready for action.
10:16 Business owners, students, city employees,
10:19 black people, white people-- between them they gathered
10:23 every vehicle they could find, seizing some.
10:26 The people of Oberlin were going after John Price, and they
10:30 would bring him back to where they believed he belonged.
10:33 >>Elizabeth: Bells started to ring throughout town.
10:36 People were rushing out of their homes,
10:38 especially the, the black business owners.
10:40 You know, they were all congregating.
10:42 Many of them, uh, met in Tappan Square,
10:45 and, uh, one of them raised rifles in one hand
10:48 and kind of waved his hat in the other and said,
10:49 "I'm going to rescue John Price."
10:51 And the crowd just gives this massive cheer.
10:54 >>John: Some walked to Wellington.
10:56 Of those who didn't carry guns, many carried sticks.
11:00 One woman loaned her horse and carriage to the rescuers,
11:03 saying, "If necessary, spare not the life of my beast,
11:07 but rescue the man."
11:09 It's said that the Anglo-Irish statesman Edmund Burke
11:11 once said, "The only thing necessary for evil to triumph
11:16 is for good men to do nothing."
11:18 Well, in this case, good men and women did something,
11:23 but even then it looked like evil might triumph.
11:27 ♪[somber music]♪
11:28 While looking at the rescue of John Price,
11:30 it's worth asking ourselves why a slave would escape
11:34 in the first place. Now, you might say,
11:36 "For obvious reasons," and I think you'd be right about that.
11:39 As the property of another person, no slave was free.
11:43 But while these stories aren't pleasant,
11:45 we're going to look at one that might give us an understanding
11:47 of the mindset of a fugitive.
11:50 While Margaret Garner was black,
11:52 her father was a white plantation owner.
11:55 The father of her four children
11:58 was also a white plantation owner.
12:02 Margaret, her husband, and the four kids were arrested
12:05 under the Fugitive Slave Act
12:06 after fleeing across a frozen Ohio River
12:10 during what was then the coldest winter in 60 years.
12:14 But rather than see her children returned to slavery
12:18 and have her own daughters endure what she had endured,
12:23 Margaret took her 2-year-old daughter's life
12:27 and would have taken the lives of her three other children
12:30 if she'd been able to do so.
12:33 She was driven to desperation by the horrific abuses
12:37 of a system that was simply accepted.
12:40 Those abuses were tolerated and considered to be
12:44 simply part of the way of life.
12:48 So, what would the law do with Margaret Garner,
12:50 who had taken the life of her own child?
12:52 Well, she wasn't tried in Ohio.
12:56 If she was, she would be tried as a free person.
12:58 Instead, she was taken back to Kentucky,
13:01 where she was considered property.
13:04 As property, she couldn't be tried for murder,
13:08 but she could be returned to slavery.
13:11 And she was.
13:13 >>Kurt: John Price was captured under the Fugitive Slave Act.
13:18 And Oberlin said that "we are going to break this law,
13:24 and we are going to make sure that we protect John Price."
13:28 So, in a nutshell, when John Price was captured,
13:30 when John Price was taken to Wellington,
13:33 and when John Price was going to be transported
13:36 back to Kentucky, Oberlin said, "Enough is enough,
13:41 and we are finished with this compromise."
13:42 ♪[dramatic music]♪ [shouting]
13:44 >>John: John Price was taken to the Wadsworth Hotel.
13:47 A group of armed men held Price inside,
13:50 determined that he was going south to Kentucky.
13:53 But by 3:00 that afternoon,
13:55 about 250 men and some women gathered in front of the hotel,
14:00 determined that Price was going nowhere except back to Oberlin.
14:06 The tension increased when word spread that a local militia
14:09 was going to be arriving in Wellington by train.
14:13 The locals knew that if they were going to act,
14:15 they needed to act quickly.
14:18 After negotiations for the release of John Price
14:20 broke down, two groups of men broke into the Wadsworth Hotel,
14:25 wrestled him away from his captors,
14:27 and Price was spirited away in a carriage back to Oberlin.
14:32 [hooves clopping, harness jingling]
14:33 >>Elizabeth: So he safely gets away.
14:35 Uh, he's going to hide in the home of a man named James Fitch.
14:39 He stays there for a few hours, but everyone in town knows
14:43 James Fitch is an abolitionist and Underground Railroad agent.
14:46 So, they quickly realized that is not the safest house.
14:49 So, um, James Monroe, who later lives in this house,
14:53 he and James Fitch escort John Price to another home,
14:57 which was just like up the block here,
14:58 uh, to James Fairchild and his wife,
15:01 and they shelter John Price, and nobody thinks to look there.
15:05 >>John: But the fact remained that the rescuers
15:07 had broken the law.
15:09 The fact that it was an unjust law did not lessen their guilt.
15:15 Thirty-seven men were indicted by a grand jury
15:18 of the District Court of Cleveland.
15:20 Twenty-five were from Oberlin, including 12 black men,
15:24 some of whom were businessmen.
15:26 And 12 were from Wellington.
15:28 The "Cleveland Leader" newspaper reported on January 13, 1859,
15:34 that a felons' feast was held to celebrate
15:38 what they had done as rescuers
15:40 in defiance of what they considered to be an unjust law.
15:45 State officials then arrested the federal marshal
15:48 and others involved in John Price's capture.
15:51 Eventually, the marshal and his men were released
15:54 in exchange for 35 of the 37 men facing federal indictment.
16:00 The two who were not released were convicted
16:02 and had to serve their sentences.
16:05 Simeon Bushnell served 88 days in the Cuyahoga County jail.
16:10 The other was African American Charles Langston, who said
16:14 as he addressed the court...
16:16 >>Charles Langston: I know that the courts of this country,
16:19 that the laws of this country,
16:22 that the government and machinery of this country
16:25 are so constituted as to oppress and outrage colored men,
16:30 men of my complexion. I cannot then, of course, expect,
16:35 judging from the past history of the country,
16:38 any mercy from the laws, from the Constitution,
16:42 or from the courts of the country.
16:45 >>John: It was said his address before the court was masterly,
16:49 spellbinding, powerful, but it didn't prevent him
16:52 from being sentenced to 20 days in prison and $100 fine,
16:57 which, disappointing to the government
17:00 of President James Buchanan,
17:02 was about the lightest punishment he could receive.
17:06 So what became of John Price?
17:09 It's believed he made it to Canada and to freedom.
17:15 The second best-selling book in the United States
17:18 in the 19th century was "Uncle Tom's Cabin,"
17:22 Harriet Beecher Stowe's classic novel
17:24 dealing with the injustices of slavery.
17:28 Published in 1852, "Uncle Tom's Cabin"
17:32 was addressed to Southern whites
17:34 and skewered Christians who believed that slavery was just.
17:39 Although she relied on stereotypes
17:41 and, from our vantage point,
17:42 might not always have got her tone quite right,
17:45 there's no question that "Uncle Tom's Cabin"
17:47 created a groundswell of opposition against slavery
17:51 and, and opened eyes to the horrors of the institution
17:55 all around the world.
17:57 The number one selling book in the United States
18:00 in the 19th century was the Bible, which, simply put,
18:05 is a collection of rescue stories.
18:07 ♪[soft music]♪
18:09 Adam and Eve were offered a way out of the slavery of sin
18:12 through the promise of a Savior.
18:14 Noah and his family rescued from a global flood,
18:18 the Israelites were rescued from Egypt.
18:21 Daniel was rescued from hungry lions,
18:23 and his friends were rescued in a fiery furnace.
18:26 Peter was rescued from prison.
18:29 Bartimaeus, the 10 lepers, the man let down through the roof
18:33 of Peter's home in Capernaum, and many more rescued
18:37 from the power of sickness and disease.
18:41 But those aren't the greatest rescue stories.
18:43 The Bible says that Jesus would "save His people
18:46 from their sins," and that's the greatest rescue of all.
18:50 We could think of the demon-possessed,
18:53 the woman taken in adultery, the woman at the well,
18:56 Zacchaeus, and others who were rescued from the power of sin.
19:02 Paul, in Romans 7, describes the experience of the person
19:06 stuck in sin, someone he calls "carnal," a person who wants
19:11 to do right but can't
19:13 and doesn't want to do wrong but does.
19:15 He cries out,
19:17 "Who [shall] deliver me from this body of death?"
19:20 The answer is, "I thank God-- through Jesus Christ our Lord!"
19:25 Jesus, with power to rescue you from the strongest chains
19:30 that bind you, He's able to break addictions.
19:34 He can make an angry person calm,
19:36 a bitter person sweet,
19:38 an unforgiving person gracious.
19:40 The power of God can make an honest person out of a thief,
19:44 a moral person out of an immoral person.
19:47 It can change a violent person's heart
19:49 and make that person gentle.
19:51 Jesus can bring peace into your marriage and joy into your home.
19:56 God can make you what you could never make yourself.
19:59 God can make you what you know you really want to be.
20:03 You know, even in the church there are far too many people
20:06 who've never experienced God's power to save.
20:09 They're calling themselves Christians
20:12 while they've never been impacted
20:14 by the transforming power of God.
20:18 Too many people outside the church are distracted
20:21 by side issues without ever considering the real issue,
20:25 and that is there's only one power in the universe
20:29 that can save you from sin,
20:31 only one power in the universe that can save you
20:34 from yourself, give you peace in your life, give you a new heart.
20:39 Only the power of God can do that, only God Himself.
20:44 The ultimate rescue is still to come.
20:47 That's what Paul was talking about when he wrote to Titus
20:50 about "the blessed hope." Jesus spoke of it.
20:53 Revelation refers to it. Daniel wrote about it.
20:57 It's the apogee--it's the high point of the Bible.
21:01 Jesus said, "I go to prepare a place for you.
21:05 "And if I go and prepare a place for you,
21:08 "I will come again, and receive you unto myself,
21:12 that where I am, there ye may be also."
21:16 In the book of Revelation,
21:17 the same event, the return of Jesus, is portrayed
21:21 as Jesus riding down the great corridors of space
21:25 on a white horse, all the angels of heaven following Him.
21:29 "And He hath on His vesture and on His thigh a name written,
21:33 'KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.'"
21:36 Paul wrote that "the Lord Himself shall descend
21:39 "from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel,
21:42 "and with the trump of God:
21:44 "and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
21:47 "then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up
21:50 "together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord
21:53 in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."
21:57 That's the return of Jesus.
22:00 Now, you and I both know that this world doesn't really have
22:02 anything to offer, and we know there can't be much time left.
22:06 Where are you going to be on that day?
22:08 Through faith in Jesus you can be ready
22:09 for the return of Jesus and for the eternity that follows.
22:14 You know, we learned several things
22:15 from the rescue of John Price.
22:17 One of them is there are times that people need to act.
22:22 If that one university student, Ansel Lyman,
22:25 had come back here to Oberlin, right here to Tappan Square,
22:29 and said nothing, the story of the rescue of John Price
22:33 would not have happened.
22:35 He couldn't have rescued John on his own,
22:37 but he raised the alarm, and then people said,
22:40 "We're going to dare to be different.
22:42 "We're going to dare to step forward and make a difference.
22:45 "We're going to dare to stand up for what we know is right,
22:48 "even though others don't agree with us.
22:50 We're going to do the right thing because it's right."
22:54 And these dedicated Christian people committed
22:56 to doing the right thing altered the course of history.
23:01 ♪[reflective music]♪
23:03 John Price didn't have to go free.
23:07 He needed to be rescued in order to go free.
23:10 But when the rescuers came,
23:12 Price didn't have to go with them.
23:15 He could have said, "Don't rescue me.
23:18 I'm going to go back to Kentucky and back to the farm."
23:22 Now, that might not sound like a very smart thing to do,
23:24 but there are people who do that all the time,
23:26 and you might be one of them.
23:28 How? Well, you might be one of the people who say,
23:31 "I could never go to heaven because I'm too bad."
23:34 Or, "My heart is too hard."
23:36 Or, "I'm too wicked." Or, "I'm just too far gone."
23:40 None of that is true.
23:41 What you're really saying is,
23:43 "I don't want the Savior to save me."
23:46 It's like you're on the second floor of the Washington Hotel,
23:49 and the gang of guys breaks in through the back door,
23:51 and one goes through the front door. They rush up the stairs,
23:53 and you say, "You made a mistake--not me.
23:56 I don't want to be freed. Let me go back to Kentucky."
24:00 That's what you're saying to God when you're saying,
24:03 "I'm too hard. I'm too far gone. I'm not worthy."
24:08 So, how about today we look in the direction of heaven
24:10 and we say, "Thank You."
