Black and white lantern slide showing a group of onlookers at a baptism in the Congo, perhaps presided over by the Congo Balolo Mission. A line of five men and one woman stand at the front of the crowd, possibly the people who have been baptised. A European female missionary tands in the rear row of the crowd, wearing a dress and a pith helmet. 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 after 1900.
