VOL. 51 : N o 6 : IN PRINT SINCE '73 INSIDE JUNE Editor's Letter 'X' Marks Your Spot! Recently, I ran across an interesting story of Charles Steinmetz, a German-American mathematician and electrical engineer from Schenectady, N.Y., and how he once "saved the day" at Henry Ford's River Rouge plant in Dearborn, Mich. Though several versions of this tale exist, they all recount that one day the giant generator at Ford's plant broke down, bringing everything to a screeching halt. When the plant's engineers couldn't fix the problem, Ford called in Steinmetz—a well-known engineering genius who was recognized as "The Wizard of Schenectady." According to an article in the August 2011 issue of Smithsonian Magazine, when Steinmetz arrived at the plant, he rejected all assistance, asking only for a notebook, a pencil and a cot. For two straight days and nights, Steinmetz listened to the generator and made notes. On the second day, Steinmetz asked for a ladder, a measuring tape and a piece of chalk. Then he climbed the ladder, took some measurements, and put a chalk mark on one side of the generator. He descended and told Ford's engineers to remove a plate at the spot where he had made the mark, and then replace 16 windings from the field coil. They did, and the generator functioned perfectly. A few days later, Ford received a bill from Steinmetz for $10,000. Ford reportedly returned the bill, along with a note that read: "Charlie, isn't this bill just a little high for a few hours of tinkering around on those motors?" Steinmetz sent the business mogul a response that read: "Making chalk mark on generator, $1. Knowing where to make mark, $9,999. Total due $10,000." Ford paid the bill. Just as Steinmetz knew the inner workings of the generator, God knows every nook and cranny of our hearts and every circumstance of our lives. While others are trying to figure you out, diagnose your situation, and offer advice on how to make you better, God knows just where to go to fix your problems. His Word will go right to the "X" that marks the spot and penetrate it with a transforming power that man could never imagine. And the price has already been paid! Speaking of "spots," there's one waiting for you at this year's Southwest Believers' Convention, here in Fort Worth, Texas. All you need to do is show up. If you haven't already, make plans now to be with us July 31-Aug. 5 at the Fort Worth Convention Center, and step into the ministry of the prophet! Blessings, Ronald C.
