Danish Christmas Stamp for 1908
What Agnes Repplier Has to Say of the Red Cross Christmas Stamps
What does the Red Cross Christmas Stamp mean?
It means that you are asked to spend one cent more on every Christmas present that you send.
It means that this tiny fraction of money, multiplied by thousands, will yield a noble sum for the maintenance of a great work—open-air Day Camps for the cure of Tuberculosis.
It means that by using the stamp, you express confidence in the work of the Red Cross.
It means that you extend the circle of your friendship until it embraces the friendless, and that your good-will reaches beyond the few whom you love to the many whom you are bidden to love.
It means that the spirit of Christmas stirs in the heart of Christendom, and that you respond to this spirit by linking your Christmas gifts with the cause of the poor and the ill, with the work of wisdom and of mercy.
