Historique
The East London Mission to the Jews was the creation of the Reverend Michael Rosenthal, who in 1899 became Vicar of Saint Mark's Church, Whitechapel. Rosenthal was a rabbi from Lithuania, who converted to Christianity and trained at the college of the London Society for Promoting Christianity among the Jews. The East End of London had a high Jewish population and the East London Mission to the Jews worked among them. The Mission also supported curates, male and female layworkers and nurses.
A note on the flyleaf of this volume, made by Reverend Lionel Lewis, Rosenthal's successor at Saint Mark's, says that after this date baptisms of persons connected with the Mission took place at Saint Mark's. He also states that he removed the volume, together with a font, from the mission address at 97 Commercial Road.
