EDITORS COMMENTS
The "MISSIONARY CARTOON, 1895. Overlooked - or The Folly of Foreign Missions" is a thought-provoking lithograph cartoon by F. Victor Gillam that graced the front page of Judge on August 31,1895. This political satire sheds light on the neglect of American missionaries towards the needs of their own people while they passionately pursued converts overseas. In this image, a missionary stands atop a hill with a telescope in hand, symbolizing his focus on foreign lands and turning a blind eye to domestic issues. Dressed in a top hat and holding an umbrella labeled "Charity" he seems oblivious to the poverty-stricken masses suffering right under his nose. Gillam's artwork captures the essence of turn-of-the-century America and highlights societal concerns regarding misplaced priorities. By depicting this missionary as disconnected from reality, Gillam challenges viewers to question whether these efforts abroad truly serve their intended purpose or if they contribute to further neglect at home. This powerful visual commentary serves as a reminder that charity should begin at home before extending its reach elsewhere. It prompts us to reflect upon our own actions and consider how we can better address the needs within our communities before venturing beyond borders. The "MISSIONARY CARTOON" remains relevant even today, reminding us that true compassion requires balance and an understanding of both local and global struggles.
