Black and white lantern slide showing Peruvian Inland Mission missionary Reverend Edward James Ball conducting the baptism of a Peruvian man in a river. Reverend Ball clasps the hand of the Peruvian convert, who in turn holds Reverend Ball's wrist. Reverend Ball holds his other hand above the head of the convert. The men stand in the river to their waists and are fully clothed. Onlookers stand on the rocky bank. This slide comes from a collection created by the Peruvian Inland Mission, an evangelical mission started in 1930 by Miss Annie G Soper in northeast Peru, which was administered by the evangelical interdenominational mission, Regions Beyond Missionary Union from 1948.
