The International Theosophist was a monthly published through 1898 and devoted, as its masthead declares, to the furtherance of Universal Brotherhood under the leadership of Katherine A. Tingley, who had taken over the American Theosophical movement after William Q. Judge's death two years before. Its doctrine is orthodox for that line — reincarnation and karma, the adepts, the Secret Doctrine — but doctrine is not most of what fills it. The contents pages run to poetry by John Eglinton and Tennyson, essays on the dramas of Aeschylus and on the Bayreuth master, a piece called Purification by Fire, an American letter and a note on the Russian olive-branch; an essay on patriotism defines it as a country's health, its capacity for unified action, its ability to repose and to act in an emergency, and its readiness to cope with whatever befalls. By the October number the magazine is reporting the Brotherhood's own war relief work. What it shows is a Theosophical organization behaving as a literary and philanthropic institution as much as a school of doctrine, in the year of the Spanish-American War.
