Again Carl,
Thanks for clearing this subject up for me. If he was good enough for HPB, I had better make it my new years resolution to read what he has to say.
Again thanks

Let H.P. Blavatsky's own word on W.Q. Judge speak for them self:
"Thanks for all, my dear old chum [W.Q.J.]; may the Masters protect
him. His ever and till and AFTER death."
"My dear W.Q.J. . . . my only friend . . . Judge has done for me so
much lately, I owe him such gratitude, there is nothing I would do
for him . . . `Pon my word, I never knew I cared so much for him
personally. . . . I will never forget Judge's loyalty and devotion,
his unswerving friendship. . . ."
" Judge . . . whom I trusted more perhaps than I did Olcott or
myself."
"Master wants Judge to be elected for life, for reasons of His own –
that's God's truth, . . .Less than you would I want to see X ______
or anyone (save Judge) elected for life . . . But if I do not like
the idea it is because I trust no one any longer, save Judge, and
Olcott perhaps. I have lost my last faith in mankind and see and
smell (rightly, if you please) Judases everywhere. But with Judge it
is different . . ."
"I trust Judge more than anyone in the world."
[To W.Q.Judge] "Well, sir and my only friend, the crisis is nearing.
I am ending my S.D. and you are going to replace me, or take my
place in America. . . . I rather lose the whole American lot to the
last man, X _______ included, than YOU."
(The Irish Theosophist in June, 1895)
London Oct. 23, 1889
"The idea is absurd and preposterous . . . H.P.B. would give . . .
the whole esoteric bood in the U.S.A. for one W.Q.J. who is part of
herself since several aeons . . . .
"He or she, who believes that under any circumstances whatever,
provocations, gossips, slander or anything devised by the enemy
H.P.B. will ever dream even of going against W. Q. J. -- does not
know H P B -- even if he or she does know H. P. Blavatsky, or thinks
he knows her.
DIXI. H.P.B. "
"Take my place in America now & after I am gone — at Adyar."
H.P.B. to W.Q.J.
(http://blavatskyarchives.com/hpbwqj81287.htm)
"The Esoteric Section and its life in the U.S.A. depends on W.Q.J.
remaining its agent & what he is now. The day W.Q.J. resigns, H.P.B.
will be virtually dead for the Americans. W.Q.J. is the Antaskarana
between the two Manas (es), the American thought & the Indian – or
rather the trans-Himalayan Esoteric Knowledge. DIXI.
P.S. W.Q.J. had show, & impress this on the minds of all those whom
it may concern"
H.P.B.
H.P.B.'s last words make it far clearer how enormously important
William Q. Judge was for the Movement:
"KEEP THE LINK (the Antaskarana) UNBROKEN! DO NOT LET MY LAST
INCARNATION BE A FAILURE."
