The Salvation Army in Ceylon - A Journey of Hope and Service
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a historic moment in the work of The Salvation Army in Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka) during the late 19th century. Led by Captain Akbar, a determined party of officers from The Salvation Army is seen halting their charge across vast rice fields to rest and receive a warm reception at Talammitya Barracks. The image showcases the resilience and dedication of these brave individuals who ventured into unknown territories to bring salvation and aid to those in need. As they traverse bridges that span gapes between rock caverns, wooden structures, stone arches, and even suspension bridges, it becomes evident that no obstacle can deter their mission. In this scene, we witness not only the physical challenges faced by these officers but also their commitment to establishing the first Fishermen's Corps in Ceylon. Their presence brings hope and rejuvenation to communities along their path. The serene backdrop of lush greenery amidst tranquil rice fields serves as a reminder that even amid adversity, there is beauty and potential for transformation. This engraving by Sydney Prior Hall immortalizes an important chapter in The Salvation Army's history while highlighting its global reach and impact on diverse cultures. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder, let us reflect on the tireless efforts made by organizations like The Salvation Army throughout history – bridging gaps between nations with compassion, love, and unwavering determination.
