'A Pan-Anglican Oversight', 1867. Surrounded by their growing family, the curate and his wife have anxiously awaited news of some improvement in their situation. The wife asks Any help for our difficulties, Dear?, to which her husband replies O No, Love. We poor curates are not even mentioned! After the relatively recent publications of works questioning established tenets of Anglican faith, particularly those of Bishop Colenso, and the collective efforts of the seven authors of Essays and Reviews, the Pan-Anglican Synod had felt a need to meet to discuss the best way of promoting the reunion of Christendom and ancillary matters to do with Church discipline and promotion of the Church's message. Mr Punch believed that the actual results of this process had been negligible and, in this cartoon, the hardest working member of the Church, the curate, finds that he has not been mentioned. Punch often makes the point that those on the bottom rung of the Ecclesiastical ladder were very poorly paid. From Punch, or the London Charivari, October 19, 1867.
