Baptism Sketch #2
Baptism Sketch from Impartial Reporter Oct. 20 & 27, 1904. "Rain was falling ... as some three hundred people assembled on the banks of Ballycassidy river to witness the baptism by immersion of ... four men and two women-who had embraced the faith expounded by the Tramps under the leadership of Mr. Irvine and Mr. Edward Cooney." Those present at Ballinamallard that day included Edward Cooney, John West, Jack Carroll and William Irvine who all preached to the assembly in the bitterly cold weather of the "dreary autumn afternoon".
Baptism Sketch #3
1904 "The Derry People" The first picture published in connection with the performance of the strange sect of "Dippers" or "Pilgrims" that has arisen in Fermanagh. The river in the picture is the Ballinamallard, is which the curious dippers perform their ablations. The snapshot from which the picture is drawn, was taken late in the evening, and just before the 'dipping operations' commenced. The people on the bank are sightseers waiting for the "dippers" to come on. October breezes are not favorable to the new cult, and many of the "Dippers" are now suffering from severe colds.
