The phrase across the top comes from Matthew 25:40, a passage about caring for those in need, and the poster uses it to turn a religious teaching into a call to give. Issued in 1917, the year the United States entered the First World War, it belongs to American Red Cross campaigns that asked civilians to support relief for soldiers and for people suffering in Europe. Such drives relied on posters like this to reach people in streets, churches and workplaces, and membership swelled to millions over the next two years. The appeal frames a donation as a personal act of charity rather than a duty imposed by the government.
