PREFACE
 
    THE title A Modern Panarion has been taken from the controversial
Panarion of the Church Father Epiphanius in which he attacked the various
sects and heresies of the first four centuries of the Christian era. The
Panarion was so called as being a “basket” of scraps and fragments. We are
told that this Panarion was “a kind of medicine chest, in which he had
collected means of healing against the poisonous bite of the heretical
serpent.”
    A Modern Panarion is of a like nature with the intent of the Christian
Father; only in the nineteenth century, heresy has in many instances become
orthodoxy, and orthodoxy heresy, and the Panarion of H. P. Blavatsky is
intended as a means of healing against the errors of ecclesiasticism, dogma
and bigotry, and the blind negation of materialism and pseudo-science.

THE H. P. B. MEMORIAL FUND

        In 1891 the following resolutions were passed by all the Sections of
the Theosophical Society :—

        Resolved:
1. That the most fitting and permanent memorial of H. P. B.’s life and work
would be the production and publication of such papers, books and
translations as will tend to promote that intimate union between the life
and thought of the Orient and the Occident to the bringing about of which
her life was devoted.
2. That an “H. P. B. Memorial Fund” be instituted for this purpose, to which
all those who feel gratitude or admiration towards H. P. B. for her work,
both within and without the T. S., are earnestly invited to contribute as
their means may allow.
3. That the President of the Theosophical Society, together with the General
Secretaries of all Sections of the same, constitute the Committee of
Management of this Fund.
4. That the Presidents of Lodges in each Section be a Committee to collect
and forward to the General Secretary of their respective Sections the
necessary funds for this purpose.
