United Fund Campaign Wants $1,484,891
This issue of the quarterly report is devoted primarily
to the 1971 campaign, in which $1,484,891.00 is being
sought to support 37 agencies during the next year. Yes,
this is out to defeat the foe in the battle of battles. Yes,
this is the time of year we watch strong bodied men rep
resenting the collges and universities all over America.
These men united as one give all their energy and skill to
protect their institutions from defeat on grid iron fields.
While others devote themselves and their money for a
victory that prevents misguided youth, disease, poverty,
and other evils and ills that destroy mankind.
We for a lack of some better name call our great aim,
"The United Fund Campaign." The big movement is now.
The Kick-off is in the air. The vistory is in our hands. The
abled, the willing, and the methods are all on our side.
We must and we shall give to our youth those programs
nationally known for their transposing powers for a better
life.
Enthusiasm is running high among this year's work
ers ? and this is the year, the year Greensboro goes over
the top in its Number One civic duty.

'This Weed's Sunday School Lesson
WHAT LOVE WILL DO
Beginning: Where You Are
The county weekly had quite
a write-up about the killing;
bold headlines said, "Brother
Lays Down Life For Brother."
The big metropolitan dailies re
ported it all in a 2% -inch col
umn on an inside page.
It had been a long hot sum
mer in this sprawling city of
southern California a decade or
so ago. School had just started,
but Eddie was not with his class.
It would have been his senior
year.
The morning after Labor Day
was Eddie's funeral. He had
been shot five days earlier by
his younger brother Richard.
Richard had not meant to shoot
Eddie; in fact, he was heart
broken about it, for they had
always been close. When Rich
ard had secretely taken the gun
from his father's desk, he had
intended only to scare his baby
brother away from his room.
Jamie was not really a baby.
He was six years old, but his
parents always called him "Baby
Jamie" or "your baby brother."
Most of the time, he acted like
a baby. That was how the
trouble began.
Many times he had ransacked
the room his teen-age brothers
shared. Richard was fourteen,
and Eddie was going on seven
teen. Every time Jamie got in
to their room, he wrecked Rich
ard's model ships or tore his
stamp collection. Twice Richard
could not find them. But Jamie's
six-year-old mind was more
adept at searching and destroy
ing than Richard's et hiding.
Usually When Jamie did
wrong; and particularly when
he damaged things belonging to
his older brothers, his parents
shrugged it off: "He's just a
little boy ? still our baby, you
must remember."
Perhaps they did not want
Jamie to grow up. But Richard
did. Jamie really irritated Rich
ard. Eddlef was older, and he was
more often away from home as
he spent more time with girls
and playing tennis and basket
ball.
On several occasions Eddie
warned his parents that Jamie
was spoiled rotten and should
be more closely disciplined, but
they could not see it. Eddie was
quite fond of his baby brother,
even though he understood and
often shared Richard's frustra
tions over Jamie and his broth
erly malice. Richard had nearly
always thought Jamie! was rath
er unnecessary for the family,
and he had never been happy
when Eddie gave Jamie much
attention.
Richard often felt Ill-treated.
He was punished because he
didn't act his age or older. Why
was Jamie never punished for
his immature and destructive
actions?
When Richard came in from
nn Vhe hedge one hot after
noon his latest model ship iav
crushed on the floor. Jamie

The parents can still hardly
how God could have let such a
mble thing happen. Richard

himself. Jamie does not quite
understand what happened ex

after all, he's still a little boy.

Genesis 44:18-34
18 Then Judah went up to
him and said, "O my lord, let
your servant, I pray you, speak
a word In my lord's ears, and
let not your anger burn against
your servant; for you are ute
Pharaoh himself. 19 My lord
asked his servants, saying
'Have you a father, or a broth
er?' 20 And we said to my lord,
We have a father, an old man.
and a young brother, the child
of his old age; and his brother
is dead, and he alone is left of
his mother's children; and his
father loves him.' 21 Then you
said to your servants, -Bring
him down to me, that I may set
my eyes upon him." 22 We said
to my lord. The lad cannot
leave his father, for if he should
leave his father, his father
would die.' 23 Then you said to
your servants, -Unless your
youngest brother comes down
with you, you shall se? my face
no more.' 24 When we went
back to your servant my fathfr
we told him the words of my
lord. 25 And when our father

food,' 26 we said, ?We cannot
go down. If our youngest brother
I goes with us, then we will go

Bank.
The men will work out of the downtown United Fund
Campaign headquarters which will open September 28
at 230 South Greene Street.
W. L. Carter Jr., campaign general chairman, said
the 'loaned executive program provides a significant way
for the corporate citizens of the Greater Greensboro Area
to demonstrate leadership and support of the United I^md.
These men bring to the United Fund a resource for full
time assignment not available in any other way. It is of
even greater value, perhaps, to* the companies and per
sonnel involved for it provides an opportunity for the men
assigned to demonstrate their leadership potential in a top
priority community service activity."

man's face unless our youngest
brother is with us.' 27 Then your
servant my father said to um,
?you know that my wife bore
me two sons; 28 one left me,
and 1 said, Surely he has been
torn to pieces; and I have never
seen him since. 29 If you Uke
this one also from me, and
harm befalls him, you will brin*
down my gray hairs in sorrow
to Sheol.' 30 Now therefore,
when I come to your servant
my father, and the lad is nort
with us, then, as his life is bound
up In the lad's life, 31 when be
sees, that the lad is not with us,
he will die; and your servant,
will bring down the gray hair*
of your servant our father with
sorrow to Sheol. 32 For your
servant became surety for the
lad to my father, saying, 'II I
do not bring him back to you,
then I shall hear the blame in
the sight of my father all my
life.' 33 Now therefore, let your
servant, I pray you, remain te
sted of the lad as a slave to
my lord; and let the lad go back
with his brothers. 34 For bow
I can I go back to my father il

Genesis 44 may be considered
the climax of the Joseph his

brothers were on trial, although
without realizing it. Joseph had
risen from slavery to become
second in power and authority
to Egypt's king. When the broth

Joseph immediately recognised
them, but they did not know
him. He arranged events so that
they would be faced with the
temptation to sacrifice Benja

freedom. Once again the older
brothers would have to decide
what was to be done with their
father's favorite son.
