On H.P. Blavatsky's technical sense of "Karmic Agent" — a person or Adept who concentrates and precipitates another's Karma more quickly than it would otherwise unfold — as distinct from the general sense in which every being is a Karmic agent to every other. +
Resolving an objection to a passage in H.P. Blavatsky's ''Key to Theosophy'' — that calling post-mortem reward a recompense for "unmerited" suffering seems to contradict Karma — by showing that "unmerited" refers only to the personality's own sense of its suffering, not to any failure of Karmic law. +
A warning against Thomas Lake Harris's California community, through which he held hypnotic power over gifted followers such as Laurence Oliphant, and against the tendency of such false prophets to assume a theosophical guise. +

On a letter said to be from a Mahatma, sent to Judge in 1893 by a Brahman member, and the question of its authenticity. +
An astrological prophecy about the future of the Theosophical Society, obtained by an Indian astrologer from the Nadigrantham texts in 1885 and reported to Olcott, predicting the Society's growth and longevity. +
Recollections of the early years of the Theosophical Society, prompted by Col. Olcott's 'Old Diary Leaves', including the origin of the Society's seal. +
On what it means to be a true servant of the Masters, as distinct from merely claiming the title or seeking recognition for it — an account of Col. Olcott's work for the Theosophical Society. +
Frances Ellen Burr objects to capitalizing the pronouns used for the Himalayan "Brothers" as a form of hero-worship; Judge's editor's note disputes her claim that the Adepts are "simply human like the rest of us." +
A reprint, by Annie Besant and William Q. Judge, of a 1888 letter from Mahatma K.H. received by Col. Olcott in mid-ocean, defending H.P. Blavatsky's position as an agent of the Masters and her role in compiling ''The Secret Doctrine''. +
