“Moments with Friends” is a Question-and-Answer feature of The Word magazine. Between 1906 and 1916, the questions listed in this book were posed by readers of The Word and answered by Mr. Percival under the appellation “A FRIEND.” Along with Part I and Part II of his editorials from The Word magazine, these three volumes represent the complete collection of Mr. Percival’s early writings.

In 1986, The Word Foundation created a second series of The Word that is still in publication as a quarterly magazine. It also features a “Moments with Friends” section that includes questions from our readers.

Some of the questions in this volume are:

• How can we tell what we have been in our last incarnation?
• Is a Theosophist a vegetarian or a meat eater?
• What is the "third eye" and does the clairvoyant and the occultist use it?
• How can nature provide for one who really desires to benefit others, but who has no means of supporting himself?
• Do the dead work individually or collectively to attain a certain end?
• Do the dead know what is going on in this world?
• How much does the moon have to do with man and other life on the earth?
• How do the influences at birth, or one's destiny, cooperate with the karma of the ego?
• Will any evil influence be brought to human beings by the presence of domestic animals?
• Why are precious stones assigned to certain months of the year?
• Is this caused by anything else than the fancy of people?
• How can one protect himself against the lies or slander of others?
• How should the hands be used in the healing of one's own physical body or any part of the body?
• What letters or numbers are attached or ascribed to the planets?
• What is the rationale of the doctrine of the atonement, and how can it be reconciled with the law of karma?
• What is disease and what connection have bacteria with it?
• What is usually meant by the term “Soul” and how should the term Soul be used?
