sure never have done it other wise.” Still, Gene had no real peace. His mind went back to the time when, as a boy, he had stolen a bike tire from the Western Auto store. He had thought himself a pretty smooth operator, taking out a second tire on the sales slip he got for another tire he had bought. Now, twenty years later, the Master Detective had caught up with him. Gene went into the store and paid for the tire. The manager marvelled. “We get conscience money quite regularly,” he said, “but this is the first time anyone ever walked in here to deliver it in person.” Again, Gene gave a witness for Christ. Gene knows it is often impossi ble for a person to right all the wrongs he has done, but he felt these particular acts of restitution were God’s will. “ It was not as payment for sins,” Gene says, “because Jesus did that. These things I remembered and they needed to be set right.” In any case, Gene’s prayer that he might be used to win others was beginning to be answered. One great need Gene felt was for more Christian fellowship. Working with ungodly men, he often echoed the complaint of Eli jah, “ I, even I only, am left.” Soon, however, he got Elijah’s answer, too, as he discovered there were others, even on the Santa Fe, with a heart for the things of the Lord. Then Gene was introduced to the work of Railway Missions. Two or three men from the shops at the Santa Fe had been meet ing under the Diesel ramp for l un ch - hou r Bible study and prayer when Mr. L. M. Nimigan of the Mission first visited Kansas City. Nimigan came on the job and spoke to them and to the group these men had rounded up. From then on the work grew.
