Missionary careerFollowing his conversion to Christianity at age 17 Baller was one of the first students of the Missionary Institute established in the East End of London by Henry Grattan Guinness. Baller applied to the China Inland Mission, and left England on 3 September 1873 with Charles Henry Judd, M. Henry Taylor, and Mary Bowyer. They arrived at Shanghai on 5 November 1873. The following year, he and Mary Bowyer were married at Shanghai on 17 September 1874. Mary was a veteran missionary to China from the beginning of the China Inland Mission, who had ventured out with Hudson Taylor on the Lammermuir (clipper) in 1866. She had been baptised by Taylor, along with some others, en route at the Sunda Strait. Baller studied the Chinese language in Nanking (Nanjing), then just recently liberated from the ravages of the Taiping rebels. Baller was then appointed superintendent of missions in Anhui and Jiangsu with the China Inland Mission. He went to Shanxi in 1876 with George King to distribute famine relief. Again, due to the continued famine in 1878 he returned to Shanxi with Jane Elizabeth Faulding (Mrs. Hudson Taylor), the single women missionaries Horne and Crickmay. Baller took a China Inland Mission party through Hunan, facing antiforeign opposition, to Guiyang in 1880, visiting the capital of Guizhou. He was appointed secretary to the first China Inland Mission China Council in 1885. Writing and teaching careerIn 1896 he was appointed principal of the new training home for CIM male missionaries at Anqing, Sichuan. There he not only helped train missionaries in the Chinese language but also published his lectures in "Letters, from an Old Missionary to His Nephew" (1907). In 1887 he began his extensive literary work. From 1900 to 1918 he served on the committee to revise the Mandarin Bible as a member of the Union Mandarin Bible Revision Committee at Beijing, for the New Testament in 1907, and the Old Testament 1907–1918. Among his many books, the best known are "An Anglo-Chinese Dictionary", "The Mandarin Primer" (thirteen editions), "An Idiom a Lesson, An Analytical Vocabulary of the New Testament", "Lessons in Wenli", "An English Translation of the Sacred Edict", and "The Life of Hudson Taylor". After the death of his first wife, Baller married H. B. Fleming on 23 January 1912. Due to his work with the Chinese language, in 1915 he was made a Life Governor of the British and Foreign Bible Society; he was also a vice-president of the National Bible Society of Scotland; and a Life Member of the American Bible Society. In 1919 Baller went on furlough after nineteen years of uninterrupted service in China. Baller died in 1922 and was buried in Shanghai shortly after completing his book on Taylor.
