9. ¿Quién fue el pionero adventista Austin O. Wilson y qué hizo?

In June 1899, Austin married Johanna Burgerson, who was also blind, and enrolled at the Iowa School for the Blind in 1887, two years before Mary Ingalls, from Little House on the Prairie fame, graduated.

Now Austin had a companion who shared his vision. Together, with G. A. Irwin, General Conference President, they pleaded [to the General Conference for funds and authorization to publish] and worked. In October 1899, the General Conference Committee gave its blessing to begin production. By January of 1900, using a washing machine hand wringer, the first 75 copies of the first issue of The Christian Record was produced in both braille and New York Point.

A yearly subscription for this monthly magazine was US$1.50 (approximately $30 in today’s money). However, even with what appeared to be a meager amount of money, The Christian Record was unaffordable for most people who were blind. An appeal was made to church leaders to collect money for these subscriptions.

In 1901, Austin reported to the General Conference Committee that subscriptions to The Christian Record had increased to 200, and each issue contained between 20 to 24 pages.

By 1907, it was reported that nearly 50 people who are blind had joined the Seventh-day Adventist Church. "These persons were not visited by Bible workers; they accepted the truth by reading the Christian Record and tracts. Already this year a goodly number have embraced the message, and many others are interested" (Lee Muck, Christian Record employee and Christian Record editor, 1902–1907, 1912–1913).

By the following year, circulation of The Christian Record had increased internationally, with subscriptions in Canada, Mexico, Australia, and England, and a readership of over 2,000. Toward the end of 1908, Austin and the Christian Record decided to take advantage of the 1904 Congressional Postal Act, enabling free shipping of embossed books and publications. One of the first books printed in braille by the Christian Record staff was the Bible. Because of this reduction in cost and successful fundraising, the $2 subscription fee for The Christian Record was removed. It has remained free for people who are blind to this day.

One prominent subscriber to The Christian Record was Helen Keller, the first deaf-blind American author, political activist, lecturer, to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree, wrote this note to the Christian Record staff:

"Dear Friends,

It is a happiness to me to know of your warm-hearted efforts to help the blind. It is help indeed — giving them light which no darkness can quench. I hope that more and more of the blind who wander comfortless in desert ways will hear the messages of love and peace which The Christian Record scatters far and wide. There is a cheery, stimulating spirit in the magazine too, and this is another greatly needed service to the sightless.

"I thank you for the sweet story which you published in the Christmas number. I am sure no one who had read it will forget its beautiful lesson.

"I rejoice in the encouragement which you have given to the blind to be as self-supporting as possible. Yes, work which they can do and do well, and in a noble spirit, is the best way to worship God and to serve their fellow men.

"Wishing you and The Christian Record continued success, I am.

"Sincerely yours,

Helen Keller"''

In 1916, Austin retired due to poor health. A year later his wife, Johanna, also resigned due to health reasons.

Note: As of the writing of this honor, The Christian Record, now titled Christian Record, continues to be produced in braille and is distributed free-of-charge to subscribers in the United States, Canada, Bermuda, and Guam-Micronesia.

10. Discutir formas de conocer e interactuar con una persona que es ciega. Hacer una de las siguientes:

a. Visitar una instalación que atiende a personas ciegas. Antes de la visita, pedir a los estudiantes que escriban sus predicciones acerca de sus percepciones de las personas ciegas. Recoger y guardar las respuestas para revisar después de la visita.

Before the visit, ask students to write down their predictions about their perceptions of blind people. Collect and keep responses to review after the visit.

  • What jobs can a person who is blind do well?
  • What scares you about people who are blind?
  • Are you scared of becoming blind? Why?
  • Do all people who are blind see nothing? (Are there different kinds of blindness?)

b. Invitar a una persona ciega para que hable con su grupo acerca de sus experiencias. Antes de la visita, pedir a los estudiantes que escriban sus predicciones acerca de sus percepciones de las personas ciegas. Recoger y guardar las respuestas para revisar después de la visita.

Before the visit, ask students to write down their predictions about their perceptions of blind people. Collect and keep responses to review after the visit.
