Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.
If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Salvation Army Memorial StonesPrint Page 
Four memorial stones were laid as a foundation in 1891 to the honour and glory of God to commemorate the erection of the building of the Salvation Army Temple.
The memorial stones of the new temple and offices of the Salvation Army, now being erected in Ann-street, were laid yesterday afternoon in the presence of a large number of people. The building, which is to be the Army`s Southern divisional centre for Queensland, is simple in design.
Commissioner Coombs, having expressed the pleasure it gave him to be present at the laying of the memorial stones of the Salvation Army temple, said that the building in course of erection was an evidence that the Salvation Army had not lost faith in this colony. They believed the colony was progressing, and that there was a great and glorious future before it, and therefore the Army were making preparations for the time to come, and the erection of that building also showed that they had not lost faith in their organisation.
