About this postcard

The picture shows a haloed, robed Christ with arms outstretched, suspended over a dense walled city identified in the caption as Jerusalem. Below the image is a devotional quotation beginning “Loose the bonds from off thy neck, O captive daughter of Sion,” attributed on the card to Isaiah 52-66. Such early twentieth-century religious cards often paired biblical verse with a visionary image of Christ.

“Loose the bonds from off thy neck, O captive daughter of Sion. . . . Rejoice with Jerusalem all you that love her . . . for thus saith the Lord: Behold I will bring upon her as it were a river of peace.” —Isaiah 52-66. --- THE RIGHT KIND OF A GIFT FOR YOUR SOLDIER A LARGE percentage of soldiers in the American Army are Catholics. Have you any relatives or friends among them? If so, you are certainly anxious about their spiritual and temporal welfare. You want them to be guarded against the many dangers threatening their bodies and souls, to remain good Christians, and to re- turn safe, sound, and victorious. As a means of securing these favors from Heaven enroll them in THE SOCIETY FOR THE PROPAGATION OF THE FAITH. They will then share in the merits and Masses of thousands of missionaries who pray daily for the Society's benefactors. You yourself will thus practise a two- fold charity,—toward God, by helping the diffusion of His Name,—toward your rela- tive or friend, by obtaining for him the Divine protection he needs at this time. ORDINARY MEMBERS — contribute 60 cents a year; SPECIAL MEMBERS — contribute $6.00 a year; PERPETUAL MEMBERS — contribute $40.00 once. ADDRESS: REV. J. F. GLAVIN ALBANY DIOCESAN DIRECTOR HERRICK STREET RENSSELAER N. Y
