EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the captivating presence of Rodney Gypsy Smith MBE, a renowned evangelist of the early 1900s. The image, taken during the Edwardian or Victorian era, depicts Smith in the midst of a passionate sermon, delivering God's word to a rapt audience. Dressed in the traditional attire of the Salvation Army, Smith's charisma and dedication are palpable, as he reaches out to touch the hearts of those gathered before him. Born into a Gypsy family, Smith's unique background and experiences shaped his ministry and outreach efforts. He became a prominent figure in the Salvation Army, using his gift of evangelism to spread the message of salvation and hope to communities often overlooked by mainstream religious institutions. Smith's unwavering faith and commitment to serving others earned him the Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) award in 1920. This photograph is a testament to the power of faith and the enduring impact of a single voice. Smith's legacy continues to inspire generations, reminding us of the transformative potential of a heartfelt message and the importance of reaching out to those in need. The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, from which this image is sourced, preserves precious moments in history, allowing us to reflect on the past and learn from the stories of those who came before us.
