Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The British Government and the Idolatry of Ceylon No person can visit the town of Kandy, the capital of the interior provinces of Ceylon, without being instantly struck by the proud attitude here assumed by idolatry; the principal temple being guarded at night, the period at which it is most usually visited, by a soldier wearing the uniform of our most gracious Queen; and the roll of the tomtom being heard at all hours, from the moment that the morning gun announces the approach of day, until the echo of its evening report has died away amid the gathering darkness of the night: and a residence in any part of the interior, cannot fail to present a continued series of similar facts, most distressing to the mind of the thoughtful Christian. In calling the attention of the church to this topic, I am deeply impressed with the importance of the task I have undertaken, and I approach it under the impression that it is by far the most momentous question I have yet agitated, though I have recently endeavoured to direct the attention of the public to various subjects connected with the best interests of the island, in the pages of the "Friend."
