Rev. Nathan's sermon is a call for repentance, complete with a reference to "Maimonides, Yod Hachazakah, Hilchoth Teshubah, Cap. 7" (p. 6). Rev. M.N. Nathan was the rabbi of Jamaica's English and German Synagogue for many years from the consecration of the new building in 1837. His literary bent found expression in his editorship of Jamaica's short-lived Jewish monthly "First Fruits of the West" (see Lot 21). See JE, Vol. VII, p. 67
