Flip the card over and it lists five points on how you can have a new life through Jesus. Invariably, the surprised cashier protests, "But sir, this card won't be any good." That's just the response the enthusiastic Edwards is waiting for. With a broad smile, he says, "Why don't you just try it?" One black airline stewardess did. When he gave her the card, she exclaimed, "Praise the Lord! A passenger gave one of these to me several months ago but I lost it. I've been praying that someone would come aboard and give me another one and here you are." Edwards claims that his trick credit card opens doors to people's hearts.

That is the sort of innovative entrepreneurial spirit you will find among Mid-America's A.S.I. members who are committed to "sharing Christ in the marketplace."

Men of Steel and the Gospel Go to Dodge Center, Minnesota, for example, and visit Steve Dickie and Pat McNeilus who own steel businesses. Selling steel is how they make their living but their real joy in life is witnessing for Jesus in a quiet way among their employees and customers. Pat prints Bible verses on every invoice that he sends out to his customers and has received many favorable responses. Recently, Pat was able to help a customer in a more personal way, though. George Fuller confided to Pat one day that he really needed a heart transplant but the Mayo Clinic in nearby Rochester had refused him because he was divorced and they felt heart transplant patients needed the support of a wife. Pat smiled and told him, "I know Someone who can give you a new heart."

Elmer's rough calloused hands and tanned wrinkled face proved that he met with the elements every day. In August the right of way had to be mowed—much of it with a scythe. The sweltry Iowa summers were good for making weeds grow as well as corn. Then in winter, one big concern on the section was keeping the snow off the switches so the trains could be switched from one track to another. Elmer had worked on the C.B. & Q. for over fifteen years. When the new rails were being laid he was one of the men who drove the spikes that fastened the rails to the ties.

horseback riding, canoeing, swimming, water skiing, crafts, archery and other fun- filled activities seldom enjoyed by the blind. These camps provide a wholesome educational and spiritual dimension to the lives of blind young people. At camp many hearts are prepared for the gospel and lives are surrendered to Jesus. There are an estimated 55 million blind persons in our world today. In 1899 the General Conference appointed Christian Record to minister to special needs of this large and growing population. Then in 1980 a ministry for the deaf and hearing impaired was added. It all began with a young blind Adventist, Austin 0. Wilson. This handicapped but enthusiastic youth had a desire to share the good news of the gospel. His dream was to produce an inspirational magazine in braille, something not available at the time. He struggled to discover a way to print these small raised dots. One day while he was doing laundry with a hand wringer, he had an idea. Locating a nail punch, a hammer and a metal sheet, Wilson made a crude printing plate which he combined with a sheet of paper and squeezed through the hand wringer. It worked! The raised dots could be felt on the paper. In this way Wilson produced 75 copies of a publication called the Christian Record This magazine remains the longest continuously published braille journal in the world. In 1987 Christian Record Braille Foundation mailed 649,000 magazines to blind and visually impaired persons in 90 countries. These are produced in braille, in large print and on flexible audio disc, providing a variety of subject material for every age group. A new periodical will be produced in Spanish this year. All materials and services are provided free for the blind.
