Black and white lantern slide showing a scene from a Congo Balolo Mission Field Conference in the 1920s or 1930s. Eleven smartly dressed men and women stand in informal discussion groups on grassland. Palm trees can be seen in the background. "J J Murray" is written on the slide, and may relate to its owner, photographer or a personality at the conference. This slide comes from a collection generated by missionaries working for the Congo Balolo Mission, a mission begun in 1889 under the supervision of the East London Training Institute for Home and Foreign Missions that developed into the interdenominational evangelical mission, Regions Beyond Missionary Union.
