Intro
The Theosophist is the monthly journal of the international Theosophical Society based in Adyar, India. It was founded in India in 1879 by Helena Blavatsky, who was also its editor.
In 1886, It seems that MGA was mentioned in The Theosophist newspaper. The Theosophist is the monthly journal of the international Theosophical Society based in Adyar, India.
In 1912 (via Fanusie), an enthusiastic American Theosophist hailed the Teachings of Islam, a collection of Ghulam Ahmad’s writings translated specifically for a European and American readership as a well-written and admirable presentation of Islam, suited to attract and not repel Christian and Jews. He wrote, we have read with pleasure and profit a small volume entitled The Teachings of Islam, which has been sent us from the office of The Review of Religions, Punjab, India. To us it seems the best and most attractive presentation of the Faith of Muhammad which we have yet come across. It is the work of the late Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and has been most admirably translated from Urdu by Muhammad Ali of Qadian. Few are the passages to which the broad-minded Christian or Jew need take exception, and many are the stimulating thoughts and expositions which would find an echo in the hearts of lovers of God in any religion…Admirably calculated to appeal to the student of comparative religion, who will find exactly what he wants to know as to Muhammadan doctrines on souls and bodies, the three worlds, divine existence, moral law and much else (See “Opinions on the Teachings on Islam”, The Review of Religions, July 1912, Volume XI, NO. 7, 290).

Quotes
MGA announced (as published by The Theosophist):
“Now, if you do not come [here], you will, yourself, be answerable to God. After awaiting your arrival for three months, the statement of your indifference will, ipso facto, be noted in the book as stated above, but in case you do come, and fail to behold any heavenly signs during your stay with me for the time specified, you shall be paid Rs. 200 per mensem (besides food and accommodation), which will be supplied free to all) as compensation to cover your damages, or as a recovery of fine in default of my promise. If you deem this sum inadequate to your dignity, I am even ready to pay as damages or fine for unfulfilling promise, whatever suitable sum you propose yourself, proportionate to your rank, if it be but not beyond my means.”

The Cork Constitution of 8 June 1885, reporting on the invitation he received from the Promised Messiahas, wrote:
“Mr Bradlaugh has received a curious invitation, which many people will probably hope he may accept, Mirza Gulam Ahmad who says that he has been commissioned by the Almighty, has sent the junior member for Northampton by registered letter an invitation to visit the Punjab, there to be converted to Islamism, and he offers to guarantee Mr Bradlaugh 200 rupees per month with food and lodging. Mr Bradlaugh has the invitation under his serious consideration.”
