Jesus, facing death in Jerusalem, insist on going up to the famous city'' Luke tells us, "When the time was come that he should he received up, he steadfastly set his face to go up to Jerusalem' • (Luke 9:51) Why'' He heard the call of the cross' It was a call.. from God. God sent hire into the. world to "seek and to save the lost- If he had turned back he would have been untrue to the pur- poses of God. He was teaching us. what God was like At the heart of (god .is' a cross This, is the nature of .the universe- one where there is suffering. Man could not redeem -himself; it took God's own Son. He knew no sin; he was the "lamb without blemish he was the pure one. And he died for us' It was the call of the world. The philosophy of the world is, "Lord it over the other fellow.'' We sometimes think meekness is weakness, so we fight back.'?. The cross is not for us. But deep down, the world wants the cross too. We feel the guilt in our own souls, for our sins put this strange man Jesus upon the cross. If we are honest with ourself and with God we cry for forgiveness from sin and find it in the cross. It was the call of the future Jesus- looked down the vista of years and saw the needs of men' in all ages. They needed salvation; they needed God; At Listowel -Hospital they needed what the cross could do for them- and so he went to Jerusalem Earlier he had said, "And I, if 1 he lifted up, will draw all men in all ages.

The Bible Society each year furnishes -free scriptures for the blind. More than 7,0I)0 units in Braille. or on cassettes or tape were given to the blind last year. -A highlight of the 1972 report was the announcement that the Canadian Bible Society forwar- ded $860,000 - or more than :16,501) per week - for the tran- slation, prin ing, and distribution of the „Bible over- seas. Much of this was used to furnish scrilitures to those who are newly -literate. According to Dr. Kenneth MacMillan, general secretary, the , Society is aiming to in- crease its support .of world distribution of the Bible. "The hundreds- of thousands who will join the ranks of the newly - literate depend upon their Canadian friends of all chur- ches for copies of the Bible," he points out.
