Baptism
This is covered over pages 48 - 51

Notice the position of the Baptisers’ (picture 1-2), one Brother is in
the far corner of the pool, while one Brother is in the front corner of
the pool, ready as he then steps forwards to except and offer
assistance to the Baptismal Candidate.
This Baptiser brings him to the location for baptism (Picture 3). This
is at the front of the pool, leaving plenty of room behind the
Candidate for him to be immersed without fear of hitting his head.
The Baptiser instructs the Candidate, as seen in picture 4, to hold
his nose, and then to hold his wrist with the other hand. The
Baptiser then holds the candidates wrist ready for immersion.
