physical handicaps each
year and the principal focus

My feet hurt. My shoes
were hot and dusty, and the
ancient cobblestone beneath
me was hard and void of
sympathy
Slowly I walked, listening
to the sounds, and observing
the strange distance°between
Menister`s
study
the ancient and the modern
the burdened mule breathing
the choking fumes of a
passing bus.
1 had just walked from the
Mount of Olives, through the
City • gates, noting : the
'traditional' sites • of- HIS
presence, in some distant
past.
Now I found myself on the
VIA DOLOROSA, usually
known as "The Way of the
Cross", but more correctly
translated, "The Way of
Sorrow".
I remember it well. I was
surrounded by the most
sacred .environment in all
human history. • Millions of
people the world over, would
covet the privilege thatwas
mine to stand where I was
standing, and to walk where
I was walking. But, for some
strange reason, it was not
what I expected.
For years I had heardof
the HOLY . LAND, read its
history, sung the hymns out
of'its traditions, while never
once dreaming of ever being
there. It must only be a hope,
to remain some
mysteriously sacred world,
untouched by the progress,
the uncaring, the human
frailties of other real worlds.
But now, immersed in the
very coming and going of
that Holy place itself, my
heart sank. My very soul
was deeply troubled. It was
not 'sacred'. It was just
people, and problems, and
buying and selling, and
armed soldiers waiting for
the bus, and admission
wickets to see where He,
Jesus, once was.
A desperate voice within
me said: "It's all a hoax.
This Christianity of your life,
with all its crystal
cathedrals, - from its'rnillion
dollar commercials to its
petty divisions`in village and
town..all talking abut this
same Jesus ... there's
nothing to it. For these
places are not holy. They are
cobblestone and dust, grass
by ,the side of the road,
villages and shops where
people work, trying to
survive, just like the rest of
the world. It's all too human
... too natural. He was ob-
viously just a local man
striving to battle the
establishments of His time.
Of course it couldn't work. Of
course He would have to be
silenced." `
That momentary darkness
was dark indeed. Then, an
equally powerful reality was
operation Eyesight needs your help
The distinguished
Canadian missionary, Dr.
Ben Gullison, who, along
with his wife Evlyn, spent 37
years in India restoring sight
to thousands of blind people,
has been awarded the Order
pf Canada. by Governor
General Edward Schreyer.
It was Dr. Gullison's
request for help in 1963 from
his Eye Hospital in Sompeta,
India to' a small group of
Calgary businessmen that
was instrumental in getting •
Operation Eyesight,
Universal (OEU) 'started.
That first year the
businessmen, under the
guidance of Art Jenkyns,
raised $1,000 for Dr.
•Gullison's hospital. This has
grown to an annual support
of over $100,000 for that
particular hospital and
Operation Eyesight
Universal's total 1981 budget.
of $1.5 million serves 14
different countries in Asia,
Africa and Latin America.
There are an estimated 42
million blind people in our.
global village, more than
half of them could regain
their sight by cataract
surgery if only more and
more people in our vast
country showed that they
cared enough to share.
According to the World
Health Organization 500,
million suffer from
Trachoma, a disease which
can lead to blindness; ,20
million suffer from River
Blindness; more than 200,000
children go blind each year
due to Vitamin A deficiency
and untold thousands have
Unpaired vision.
OEU staff fighting
Trachoma in Kenya found
that 37 percent of school
children examined suffered
from it. With simple an-
tibiotic ointment applied by
trained teachers, the in-
cidence of Trachoma was
brought down to 13 percent.
With mobile clinics and
local volunteer groups' such
as Rotary and Lions Clubs,
•Women's Institutes, etc. etc.
OEU teams can travel from
base hospitals to remote
areas setting up eye camps

the insight that lifted me up
again, as my feet began to
walk with even greater
resolve.
Surely, it was just because
the setting was so earthy,
that it was so sacred. Now I
can see it. GOD WITH US
was not just some unreal
vision to observe.He too was
earthy. Indeed, Christ
Himself ' was just as much a
part of that environment as
any who walked those streets
that day. I'm more sure of
that than ever before. And
because of that, every home,
everystreet, every human
experience holds within it
the Hope of Easter, because
it was in just such a world
that He lived, died and lived
again in Victory over death

This very week in our
lives, we contemplate
Christ's Joyous entry into
Jerusalem, that seemed so
short lived; and the sad
events that followed Him to
the experience of the Cross.
But we also stand on the
other side of Easter,and
rejoice in life because we are
assured again, that it was
One just such as we are, who
knew the common realities
of human pain, and sorrow,

lives, we too can live. For He

Victory.
