"The Williamsburg Mission to the Jews"" -- Converting Brooklyn Jews to Christianity

Brooklyn, New York: Williamsburg Mission to the Jews, 1917. Printed tri-fold pamphlet promoting the Williamsburg Mission to the Jews, with tear-off mail-in donation slip. The Mission's purpose was to convert New York Jews to Christianity. The pamphlet begins by asserting that "Every fourth man in New York is a Jew!" and that New York is "the greatest aggregation of Jews in any one spot, in all history". It goes on to say that "The conditions of these Jews, spiritually, physically, morally, are deplorable and staggering" and that the population is, in its words, in danger of "Drifting into agnosticism, anarchy, socialism, atheism, infidelity" and that it is in dire need of conversion to Christianity. The leader of the Mission was "formerly a Rabbi" who aims to "promulgate the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ among the Jews of Greater New York". Tri-fold pamphlet measuring 6.25" by 3.5" folded. Later blue ink manuscript to first leaf.
