Immensity of the plans astounded
the members of the dub When they
were outlined by Dr. Lewis, expendi­
ture of $13,000,000 is contemplated. *
This includes the following:
A 22-story building at the tkory*-
west corner of Lafayette and Pierce
streets, a site purchased several years
ago, which wiii include an auidtorfuin
with three balconies, seatlmr 4,000
persons; a broadcasting slat on for
educational and entertainment pur­
poses. of a size exceeded only by one
mammoth experimental stations of
the great electric companies;
An Academy of Pine Arts, free to
persons of talent recognised and rec­
ommended ' by professionals, with
which the Metropolitan Opera com­
pany has consented to co-operate to
the extent to coming to Tampa two
weeks yearly to assist In the course
of study;
An astronomical observatory located
on a replica of the great pyramid of
Egypt* 144 feet high;
A university, chartered years ago
when Roosevelt first became active
in founding the cultural center, known
as the Universlias Illurainlati Rosae
Crucis.
Already Started
A start already has been made on
the plans. The first step was removal
of the headquarter* of North America
from San Francisco to Tampa, for
■which the Rosicrucian block on Me­
morial highway, w est of the monu­
ment, w as built. Here are housed the
administration offices and residences
of the executive officials. Mall re­
ceived is so heavy the post office de­
partment of Tampa has authorised a
separate sub-station In the building.
Franklin O. Adams was commis­
sioned architect several months ago
and is engaged on plans for the vari­
ous buildings. Within a few weeks,
Dr. Lewis and possibly Mr. Adams,
and others, will go to Europe to study
at first hand the details of creation
and operation of the cultural banters,
while in the fall they will go to Sixype
for several months survey to obtain
data for the construction of the pyra­
mid and observatory.
The 23 story building. Dr. Lew is
said, will cost $3,600,000. It wlU be
oriental in design and will contain the
lodge rooms of the order. The lower
floor wilt be laid out around a central
arcade and Instead of the c o its iu u y
stores will contain booths on the ori­
ental order. In keeping w ith the cul­
tural plan, only products of fine art,
science and philosophy will be sold,
including musical Instruments, paint­
ings, sculpture, tapestry and Similar
works.

Glow On Sky
Rising above ih« radio manta will
be a pyramid form supporting a large
bronze Incense burner. Incense will
be burned at night, the size of the
burner making the red glow, symboli­
cal of the order, visible mile* away.
Because of the educational nature of
the institution, the broadcasting sta­
tion will have unusual powers, being
allowed under the license which has
been obtained, a wider range of w ave
lengths, both high and low, and pre­
ference over other broadcasting sta­
tions in time of programs, Dr. Lewis
said.
The Academy of Fine Arts also has
made a start here, though its extent
is limited by the lack of the building*.
The staff faculty Is being assembled
md several are in Tampa, remaining
in private life until the opening. They
Include Madame Beatrice Bowman,
Metropolitan Opera star, soloist with
Sousa last year, and Sir Walter Ham­
ilton Douglas, director of the London
opera, and before the war the Kaiser's
official director of the .Berlin opera.
Announcing that the Metropolitan
Opera company will come to Tampa
for two weeks annually. Dr. Lewis
said the arrangements already had
oeea completed, conditional only upon
the opening of the Academy of Fine
Arts. His brother, he said. Is treas­
urer of the opera company and he,
himself, formerly w as connected with
it. He added it was not difficult to
interest Otto Kahn, international
banker and prominent In the direction
of the opera company, and others.
Roosevelt Ideals
The outstanding feature of the
academy in its incorporation of the
ideal of Roosevelt to provide for those
of talent who lack the money to pur­
sue their studies, Dr, Lewis Mid, Any
person of talent in th e country will
be given full instruction In any cul­
tural line throughout the entire term
necessary without charge, even room
and board and incidental expenses be­
ing taken care of. This can be done,
he said, because of the immense fund
contributed for the purpoee by mem­
ber* of the order. More than that* ne

HUNDREDS ENDORSE IT
Tomorrow night at 7:30 the first
public service in the new Kosicrucian
Church will be held at the Egyptian
Temple in Kosicrucian„ Square.
Hundreds In the city have given
their endorsement of the new Church
and at its Dedication ceremony last
Sunday it w as proclaimed the most
beautiful church in the city devoted
aolely to propounding those laws and
principles which enable men and w o­
men to live more happily and suc­
cessfully.
Tomorrow night the discourse Is un­
usually attractive in its motive. The
Master of the Temple, Dr. H. Spen­
cer Lewis, w ill explain the Oriental
secret method of concentrating to
bring about changes in one's life and
to attract from the Cosmic the ma­
terial blessings that are necessary to
existence. He will point out the
errors of the popular methods and
show why they fail, in the majority of
cases, and why the true Adepts are
usually successful.
In addition to the discourse, Dr.
Lewis will answer m any questions
which have been submitted to him
on popular, religious, scientific, and
civic m atters. Dr. Lewis is an emin­
ent lecturer, scientist, and student of
public affairs. H is views on popular
affairs have alw ays been keenly ap­
preciated and of practical help.
The Church is mystical in its ten­
dencies, nun-sectarian, is not off Hated
wth any of the present-day fanatic­
isms, and does not deal with matters
connected with spiritualistic demon­
strations, or sim ilar misconceptions.
All are welcome at these services.
THp doors will open at 1 o'clock and
no seats are reserved. Oriential cere­
m o n y and beautiful music accompany
the special features of the service.

N htt«apttng to atari this new, local
I “Roilcracian" croup In this city, these
several ax-members of tha nation-wide
Rosleruelan body knows an AMORC. bare
mada aerloua charge* against ms aa chief
executive of AMORC and against the
organisation aa a whole.
To aronas the Just indignity of Tampa’s
population they have principally charged that
the AMOSO ctalma itself to ho associated with
Freemasonry and is otherwise galling under false
colors. The facta are that this new "Roaleroelan"’
branch of a small Haw York •‘society’' has Itself
been persistently claiming “intimate connection"
With Freemasonry.
Under the pretense of protecting the rlght-
oas interests of Freemasonry—a* though such
Interest* needed protection!—this new group
hopes to secure Masonic endorsement here of Its
particular form of Roslcrucias work and official
condemnation of tha AJCOKO, which high endorse­
ment and condemnation they w ill use in a nation­
wide campaign, according to tbeir inglorious
threats.
To protect the pood name of AMORC and at
Abe same tim e to reveal the insidiousness of the
campaign new lander any. 1 present these tacts
to the hundreds of onr members snd many hun-
drsds of friends In this locality, solely in the
ipirfE of fair play.
This other organization has been operating
tor some years aa a Basic rucian society is
America nader the leadership of Khei, and It also
claims to lie a chartered branch of a local society
in England.
We are not attempting to criticise this society
tor its researches Into Rosleruelan and arcane
teachings, Us pnrpose of disseminating such
knowledge, or Its methods of arousing an interest
in RoBlcntcianlun, except aa such methods ta-
* elude statements which are misleading and un­
warranted.
In examining the early propaganda literature
of the parent (English) body eC Oils American so­
ciety we End In > book written h r their own
Supreme Hasps, pnMtshsd ia London In 18 if , the
origin and purposes o f the society outlined In as
tatareetlng manner.
After reviewing an the early historical ref­
erences to various ancient Rnelcruclan organtx*-
ttona in Europe, Urn hook comee to the fo u n d in g
of this modern society in England. We read:
■Tha name Rnsfarnclaa baa suffered greatly
from the pretentions «C man. who falsely claiming
membership, have made as aggmated. false and
am aaonahle staler tta regarding the powers
and puaessaioM of the Sfcmtraa of the Rosy Cross.”
Tesy true, indeed! .

CLAIMS “MASONIC” BIRTH
Then -wo find hnw this particular society was
ham and what claim* H makes. It Is clearly
stated that the Society In England--the parent
body of the American society —‘'was fetigaed b y
Robert Wentworth Little who rescued somerituals
from the store-roeua of Freemason*" Hall and
Kenneth R. H. Mackenzie, who had received Rosl-
cruclan initiation fa Austria, while living with
Count Apjwmyf ns an English tutor, and alao
Authority to form an English Masonic Rotlcruclan
Society,"
Several {otm'stiiss points are Involved la this
Illuminating paragraph which present* a very
strange origin for any society. First, we should
Ilk* to know how it came about that the 'only
available Roslcnsclan Rituals were located in
Freemason*’ Hal! in England, which place hat
bean the principal Masonic archives for many
year*. Second,* what danger surrounded these
Ritual* that they required such strenuous aettou
as rescuing? Third, how 1* it possible for ah
Austrian Roslcradan to authorize the establish-
meat, of an English MASONIC Rnsicruclan So­
ciety?
BECOMES “LITERARY SOCIETY”
if all this if) not an attempt to m a kts It appear
that the said Society wait a new form of Masonic
study and work, then let us read a tittle further.
V f s And that one year after it* foundation with
reacued ritual*, the first Lodge or College of the
Society v m opened. M r . Little, referred to above,
we* it* Supreme Magua and William Jame*
Hughan, the Masonic H.Utorian. was one of the
“Substitute Magi." Now we recall that, a* a
Masonic ElI*torInn, Mr. Hughan ha* an excellent
reputation for prretseneas. and we recall that he
wa» on* of the editors of ‘ History cl Freemasonry,
by SUllson and Hughan." So we turn, for a mo­
ment, to see what Hughan permitted to be pub-
Halted ia hi* history about this Rewiernefan Mu
sonic Society, of which he was a high officer and
Intimate associate, in Fart V.. page *73, we read:
"The modem and present existing Society of
Rosierncian* was instituted through the incep­
tion and Influence of Robert Wentworth Little, of
England, who, la hU sesrrhe* In Germany, came
upon tha remnant* and outline of an old aesocia-
tien. Which he reeurreetad and rehabilitated In
order to create a literary organization, retaining
the form*, title*, and number* of the degree*, eo
far aa might be eubaorviertt to hi* purpose*,
which w on defined to bo a* follow*: to create ‘*

base ta r the collection and deposits of archaeo­
logical and historical subjects pertaining to Free­
masonry. secret societies in general, and Interest­
ing provincial m a tte r; to inspire a g reater dispo­
sition to obtain h istorical tru th and In displace
erro r; to bring to light much In relation to a
certain class of scientists and scholars, and ibe
resale o f th e ir life labors, th a t w ere gradually
dying away in toe memories ! m en'.’* (The
emphasis in this paragraph is m ine).
LIMITED TO FREEMASONS
If we examine this paragraph we find a dis­
crepancy between it and the official statem ent as
to where Mr. L ittle secured his ritu a ls and
authority: bat the m ast im portant points are
those to which I have given em phasis by black-
toco type. To resu rre ct s a d rehabilitate the rem­
n an t and outline of a n old association In Germany
la aid er to create a literary society, is NOT an
official manner of establishing a Hctslcrurian or­
ganization. But, to m ake such a society the bass
for the collection of subjects pertaiul_p to f r e e ­
m asonry and secret societies in general, and to
add each Rosierueian "forms, titles and numbers
of toe degrees, so ta r as might be subservient to
his purposes," is to confound Freero* sonic re­
search and study with a relationship to Rosl-
cruclan.
It this is not sufficient to show th a t toe so­
ciety started out solely to be a new attachm ent
to Freem asonry w ithout any justification to r It
In the requirem ents of Freem asonry, let ns see
w hat happened a tow years later. Tilts read on
page to o£ an official hook of this society, pub­
lished in America, th a t other Lodges or "colleges''
were established soon a lte r J8T» and th a t by the
establishm ent of these branch bodies the society
was entitled to far its own high council at
authority. This m ay be proper organ'cation work,
but so le th a t total fine point is stated;
"Membership In these colleges w as lim ited to
Freemasons of toe 32nd Degree; quarterly m eet­
ings were held and th e ir session* w ere devoted
principally to a banquet, with *« a ft i t h of a
literary and philosophical nature, w ith little if
any attem pt to exem plify the R osicrncisn De­
grees with toe philosophy they embodied.”
T hat does not sound like Roslcrueinn session*
w ith the traditional seriousness an d sublime
saeradness which constitute th e very foundation
of all true Roslcrucian ...slaves. But. it is
typical of the session* of toe literary soctoiex of
th a t day and a t thin day. Note, however, to st
it was a society to r Freem asons exclusively.
NO ROSICRUOAN WORK
A farth er indication th a t the society thus
formed, and establishing trau bes o f itself in
America, was not orgsnlzed on Roslcrucian prin­
ciples with Roslcrucian authority. Is shown by
the words of tola society In other pieces of its
own official literature. W e note, for instance,
th a t they did not perm it women to uni i with
Item ; and an page four n t st hook recently liaysii
by th e n , as w ell a s on page eleven of an o th er
official pam phlet, they sta te th a t:
"A member of the M assachusetts College
Dodge), to Boston, too roly aw ake to the omission

On th e sam e page we find th a t i t offers as one

on "E soteric M asonry.'* In th e sam e issue we
read on page 140 these significant words:

Freem asonry, b a t is recognised today a s the

 WHAT IT TEACHES
Let us turn now to soother hook, the official
text-book of this Rosieruclan society, sold by
mall to anyone and purchasable in book stores
—a state of affaire that fa Inconsistent with the
traditions of the true Roslcrucisn order which
has never published text boohs for the profane
with a claim that they contained its teachings—
and In this book of "Fundamentals" we find
again and again the statement made that Free,
masonry of today In America and England is
not only associated with Rosieruclan Ism, but
even more than this. For Instance. In the XIII
Chapter of this official textbook, whose author
Is given as Kbel, the bead of the Society, and
whose publication Is authorised by the “High
Council" of the society, we read;
"It is the leeching of the Brotherhood, that
Freemasonry owes its real origin to the Jtostrru-
ef&ns." In other words, this Society teaches this
claim to Us members.
Then on page 31J, in the same Chapter, we
find that after the author has tried to ahow
that Masonry does not contain alt the secrets
and explanation of the symbolism of the Masons,
the seeker is told he must go to the Rosieruclan
teachings. This is stated in these words:
"Since Masonry, the offspring, tails tie in
our search for the true exegesis, we must turn
to Roaicrucianism, the parent."
A TERRIBLE EXAMPLE
Such a misstatement of fact Is unfair both
to Freemasonry and Rosieruclan Ism. There is
nothing in the true teachings of Roaicraciaalstn
that reveals the secrets or meanings of the
Freemasonic lytnbUlsm or work from a Masonic
point of view. Such a claim ia intended solely
to make Freemasons believe that It they have
not quickly and easily discerned all there Is to
discern in Freemasonry, they need only units
with the Rosieruclan society, ft Is ridiculous
and without the slightest warrant.
How doe* the society proceed to illustrate
such a point? We read on in the same Chapter
of this official textbook. Wo approach an in­
teresting point. The author is offering his
Rostcruclan explanation of the Masonlo symbol­
ism of the "House not made with hand* ” We
wonder what dare be said in public print oa
this subject. Wo are assured, however, that
what fotlowa was read before Metropolitan
Lodge No. 2. Ark Mariner Masons, New Fork
City, in ISIS, and that by publishing it freely
to lbs world—
"No Masonic Obligations have been violated
by Ibis procedure and it ia hoped that this In­
struction will be it s died moat carefully by all
Mahons to whom ft map coma, whether they are
members of iho Rosieruclan Fraternity or not"
So. believing that what fa to follow was ap­
proved by Hasans and la sot probib tied by
them as secret "pans of their Studies, we are
abounded and shocked to discover that this
author presents the tatter that was given in tha
above Masonic lodge, in the form of sex-teach­
ings! Can anything be further away from
purs Rosieruclan ism. and trus Freemasonry?
Actually, the columns before the Temple of
Solomon and the entrance way, are associated
with sex matters in words that are too disgust­
ing for us to think of using here and which
could never enter a lecture or discussion con­
nected with real Rostcrucianlsm.
NONE WILL BELIEVE IT
How can Masons of today read such matter
and believe that ft i> either Masonic or Roslcru-
risn? Rosieructanlam does not touch upon sex
matters anywhere In Us thousands ot lessons. In
any of its booklets, discussions, symbols or phys­
iologies) treatises. It is this one outstanding
fact that bas made the Roslcrucisn teachings
notable in comparison with modern cults; and
we know the same thing can be said in regard
to the teachings of Freemasonry.
Yet. here Is an organisation, a society, using
the name Rosieruclan, claiming to be "imtinete-
ty connected" with and the "parent" o f Free­
m aso n ry . appealing to Freemasons In every
breath, limiting Its high council membership to
Freemasons and otherwise proclaiming an affil­
iation or connection with Masonic bodies, con­
trary to all Masonic principles and at the same
time offering as official teachings such things as
ire an insult to the intelligence of either Free­
masons or Rosiernciacs and «#fit for polite dis­
cussion anywhere.
WHAT AMORC CLAIMS
In conclusion let us call the reader's*alien*
lion to what AMORC bas always said about tbs
connsction of Rosleruclanistu with Freemasonry.
We knew, too, that some Masons might think
that there was a connection between the Rose-
Croix Degree ot Freemasonry and the Rose
Cross of our Order. Hence we tried in « very
clear-cut emphatic manner and in every piece ot
official propaganda literature, to *Ute the true
situation.
In the flrat propaganda book issued by the
AMORC to be sent through the mails ail over
the United States, we mid:
"When we aay that the Order (AMORC) has
absolutely no connection with any branch of the
Theoaopbicai Society, the New Thought Move­
ment or Freemasonry, we do not mean to aay
anch a connection would be displeasing or detri­
mental; but it is unnecessary— and Impossible!
. , . In respect to all these movements we
bavs only the kindest thoughts and good
wishes."
The book containing the above statement, on
page six, was distributed for many years while
we had our headquarters in New York and San
Francisco, and not less than 10,000 copies of
inch books, outlining the nature and purposes
ot the AMORC, were distributed.
On the same page. In the same AMORC book,
is this very definite statement: "Lest there be
any misunderstanding, let it be known that tha
Order (AMORC) in America ia not affiliated in
any way—nor are Ita Supreme Officers:—with
any ntber philosophical, scientific or occalt or­
ganization In America.”
Tbere Is nothing indefinite or misleading
about tbst statement.
The first newspaper articles—some covering
a whole page, each as that in the New York
World Magazine Section tor March. 26th. ISIS—
announcing tha establishment of the Order In
America, distinctly slate that the AMORC was
being sponsored solely by RosIcrucUa bodies or
authorities of Europe and mentions no connec­
tion with any other society.
When the time came to prepare a new n a ­
tional propaganda booklet because of the move
ot tbs headquarters to Tampa from San Fran­
cisco. the same precautions against misunder­
standing were taken. The new book, still in
use. with thousand* of copies distributed in
every stale of the Culled Stales and in all parts
of Canada and Mexico, and with at leant five
thousand copies distributed right here In Tampa
itself, says in very plain language on page thir­
teen;
NO MASONIC CONNECTION
"last as the AMORC has no physical relation­
ship with the Freemasonic Order, even though
this body has every right to use the term Roue
Croix end the Rosy Cross symbol is Ita Scottish
Rites (as mentioned « e page 6) even so the
AMORC im so t physically connected with some
of the ether movements la Europe sad Amer­
ica," etc. Throughout the book the statement
is emphasized that AMORC is Independent ot
alt ether socialise or organisations and ear lit-
era tore, which haa been translated In seven
languages and disseminated through the world
tor many years, presents the same consistent
claims.

PAGE THIRTEEN

An Open Letter to Freemasons and Rosicrucians:

In view o f the fact that severalform er members o f the AMORC, removedfo r ju st
cause, areforming a “Rosicrucian "group in Tampa, and to further their private aims are
making charges o f fraud against the Order I represent, and me attempting to secure the
endorsement o f the Masonic Bodies o f the city and to claim such endorsement to further
their attacks / publish thefollowing signed statement:

In attempting to start this new, local “Rosicrucian” group in this city, these
several ex-members of the nation-wide Rosicrucian body known as AMORC,
have made serious charges against me as chief executive of AMORC and
against the organization as a whole.

To arouse the just indignity of Tampa’s population they have principally

charged that the AMORC claims itself to be associated with Freemasonry and is
otherwise sailing under false colors. The facts are that this new “Rosicrucian”
branch of a small New York “society” has itself been persistently claiming
“intimate connection” with Freemasonry.

Under the pretense of protecting the righteous interests of Freemasonry - as

though such interests needed protection! - this new group hopes to secure
Masonic endorsement here of its particular form of Rosicrucian work and
official condemnation of the AMORC , which high endorsement and
condemnation they will use in a nationwide, according to their inglorious
threats.

To protect the good name of AMORC and at the same time to reveal the
insidiousness of the campaign now under way, I present these facts to the
hundreds of our members and many hundreds of friends in this locality, solely
in the spirit of fair play.

This other organization has been operating for some years as a Rosicrucian
society in America under the leadership of Khei, and it also claims to be a
chartered branch of a local society in England.

We are not attempting to criticise this society for its researches into
Rosicrucian and arcane teachings, its purpose of disseminating such
knowledge, or its methods of arousing an interest in Rosicrucianism, except as
such methods include statements which are misleading and unwarranted.
 2

In examining the early propaganda literature of the parent (English) body of

this American society we find in a book written by their own Supreme Magus,
published in London in 1916, the origin and purpose of this society outlined in
an interesting d manner.

After reviewing all the early historical references to various ancient

Rosicrucian organizations in Europe, the book comes to the founding o f this
modem society in England. We read:

“The name Rosicrucian has suffered greatly from the pretentions of men, who
falsely claiming membership, have made exaggerated, false and unreasonable
statements regarding the powers and possessions of the Fratres of the Rosy
Cross.” Very true, indeed!

CLAIM S “M A SO NIC” BIR TH

Then we find how this particular society was bom and what claims it makes.
It is clearly stated that the Society in England—the parent body of the American
society—“was designed by Robert Wentworth Little who rescued some rituals
from the store-room of Freemasons’ Hall and Kenneth R. H. Mackenzie, who
had received Rosicrucian initiation in Austria, while living with Count Apponyi
as an English tutor, and also Authority to form an English Masonic Rosicrucian
Society,
Several interesting points are involved in this illuminating paragraph which
presents a very strange origin for any society. First, we should like to know how
it came about that the only available Rosicrucian Rituals were located in
Freemasons’ Hall in England, which place has been the principal Masonic
archives for many years. Second, what danger surrounded these Rituals that
they required such strenuous action as rescuing? Third, how is it possible for an
Austrian Rosicrucian to authorize the establishment of an English MASONIC
Rosicrucian Society?

BECO M ES “ LITERARY SO CIETY ”

If all this is not an attempt to make it appear that the said Society was a new
form of Masonic study and work, then let us read a little further. We find that
one year after its foundation with rescued rituals, the first Lodge or College of
the Society was opened, Mr. Little, referred to above, was its Supreme Magus
and William James Hughan, the Masonic Historian, was one of the "Substitute
Magi.” Now we recall that, as a Masonic Historian, Mr. J Hughan has an
excellent reputation for preciseness, and we recall that he was one of the editors
of "History of Freemasonry, by Stillson and Hughan.” So we turn, for a mo­
ment, to see what Hughan permitted to be published in his history about this
Rosicrucian Masonic Society, of which he was a high officer and intimate
associate. In Part V., page 873, we read:
 3

“The modem and present existing Society of Rosicrucians was instituted

through the inception and influence of Robert Wentworth Little, of England,
who, in his searches in Germany, came upon the remnants and outline of an old
association, which, he resurrected and rehabilitated in order to create a
literary organization, retaining the forms, titles, and numbers of the degrees, so
far as might be subservient to his purposes, which were defined to be as
follows: to create a base for the collection and deposit of archaeological and
historical subjects pertaining to Freemasonry, secret societies in general,
and interesting provincial matter; to inspire a greater disposition to obtain
historical truth and to displace error; to bring to light much in relation to a
certain class of scientists and scholars, and the result of their life labors, that
were gradually dying away in the memories of men.” (The emphasis in this
paragraph is mine).

LIMITED TO FREEMASONS
If we examine this paragraph we find a discrepancy between it and the
official statement as to where Mr. Little secured his rituals and authority; but the
most important points are those to which 1 have given emphasis by blackface
type. To resurrect and rehabilitate the remnant and outline of an old association
in Germany in order to create a literary society, is NOT an official manner of
establishing a Rosicrucian organization. But, to make such a society the base for
the collection of subjects pertaining to Freemasonry and secret societies in
general, and to add such Rosicrucian “forms, titles and numbers of the degrees,
so far as might be subservient to his purposes,” is to confound Freemasonic re­
search and study with a relationship to Rosicrucian.

If this is not sufficient to show that the society started out solely to be a new
attachment to Freemasonry without any justification for it in the requirements of
Freemasonry, let us see what happened a few years later. We read on page 10 of
an official book of this society, published in America, that other Lodges or
"colleges" were established soon after 1879 and that by the establishment of
these branch bodies the society was entitled to form its own high council of
authority. This may be proper organization work, but note that this fine point is
stated:
"Membership in these colleges was limited to Freemasons of the 32nd Degree;
quarterly meetings were held and their sessions were devoted principally to a
banquet, with an aftermath-of a literary and philosophical nature, with little if
any attempt to exemplify the Rosicrucian Degrees with the philosophy they
embodied.”

That does not sound like Rosicrucian sessions with the traditional seriousness
and sublime sacredness which constitute the very foundation of all true
 4

Rosicrucian conclaves. But, it is typical of the sessions o f the literary societies

of that day and of this day. Note, however, that it was a society for Freemasons
exclusively.

NO ROSICRUCIAN WORK

A further indication that the society thus formed, and establishing branches
of itself in America, was not organized on Rosicrucian principles with
Rosicrucian authority, is shown by the words of this society in other pieces of
its own official literature. We note, for instance, that they did not permit women
to unite with them; and on page four of a book recently issued by them, as well
as on page eleven of another official pamphlet, they state that:

“A member of the Massachusetts College (lodge), in Boston, thoroughly

awake to the omission , of the real Rosicrucian work, and having received the
VIII Degree constituting him a Provincial Magus of the Fraternity, engaged in
special research work to recover the original Eckartshausen Rituals of the
Fraternity.”

Thus we see that although the society was establishing Rosicrucian lodges or
"colleges" and was conducting its member through degrees as high as the VIII
and conferring upon them one of the Rosicrucian titles which had been made
“subservient” to their purposes, they admit having had no real Rosicrucian
Work, and one of their highest members engaged himself in the labor of
recovering some Rituals possessed by a descendant of an early German
Rosicrucian Lodge. Further on the same page we read that it was the ambition
of this VIII Degree member to undertake “the formation and institution of a
branch of the Fraternity that would devote itself exclusively to the true
Rosicrucian Art and Operations, and at the same time open its doors to both
sexes on a basis of true equality."

NO ROSICRUCIAN AUTHORITY

In other words this member hoped to secure a proper authority and real
system of the Rosicrucian order for his American society, even to the extent of
following the ancient Rosicrucian principle of admitting women, instead of
limiting membership to Freemasons. But, according to this same booklet, the
transition of this member prevented the fulfillment of his personal ambition.
This setback in the plans was overcome by the officers of the American society
who proceeded to reorganize their almost extinct literary society on the basis of
“authority” given to them by that conscientious member before his transition.
 5

Thus, the society in America today, says the official book again, “is the
outgrowth” of the old society in the United States, “most of the Colleges
(lodges) of which became either dormant, extinct or inoperative.

Here we see by their own admission that the present society, calling itself
Rosicrucian, is an outgrowth of the parent body’s branches founded as a literary
society, formed by Freemasons, for Freemasons and to study Freemasonic and
other "archaeological and historical subjects.”

Is it any wonder that persons reading such literature in their search for
Rosicrucianism, believe that this society, using the name Rosicrucian and a
symbol much like the ancient one, is a part of or in some way officially
affiliated with Freemasonry? If you are one who may argue that it is all in the
way you read such matter, let us take some of its more rem it literature and see
what it claims in unmistakable language.

CLA IM S TO BE M ASONIC PARENT

In the last issue of its official quarterly, dated September, 1926, we read on
the cover that its teachings and findings are “amplified thru its intimate
connection with Ancient and Medieval Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry,
Druidism,” etc. Note that it says intimate connection! On the same page we find
that it offers as one of its correspondence courses, to any one, lessons on
“Esoteric Masonry.” In the same issue we read on page 140 these significant
words:
“First, Rosicrucianism is not an appendage of Freemasonry. The Rosicrucian,
Fraternity is regarded by its members and by several of the best Masonic
historians and researchers, as the parent source of Freemasonry. There are many
conditions that make this a plausible theoiy. The Fraternity, today, in its
Constitution, requires certain of its High Council members to be not only
Master Masons, but Masons of all degrees. However, even this is an innovation
of recent years."

N O T TRUE ROSICRUCIA NISM

We say that the above paragraph is significant because it attempts to foster the
idea that Rosicrucianism is not merely affiliated with Freemasonry, but is
recognized today as the parent body or guiding body of Freemasonry. And the
statement is misleading because it attempts to associate the two organizations
and to make readers believe that the Rosicrucian Fraternity limits its high
councils to Freemasons. This is probably the case with the society we have been
discussing. BUT IT IS NOT TRUE OF THE ROSICRUCIAN ORDER
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
 6

Such claims to Masonic connection are further emphasized by this Society of

Rosicrucians by the official statement it sent to Hartman's 1925 issue o f a
Directory o f Occult and Fraternal Societies. There, on page 125, this Society of
Rosicrucians says o f itself that its first attempt to establish a branch of its own
in America in 1878 “was on Masonic lines,” and at the close o f the article we
read this:
“The Societas Rosicruciana in America” works in complete harmony and
close association with the Masonic Fraternity, and constitutionally, its major
officers are Masons o f all Rites and Degrees.”

WHAT IT TEACHES
Let us turn now to another book, the official text-book o f this Rosicrucian
society, sold by mail to anyone and purchasable in bookstores — a state of
affairs that is inconsistent with the traditions o f the true Rosicrucian order which
has never published text books for the profane with a claim that they contained
its teachings— and in this book o f “Fundamentals” we find again and again the
statement made that Freemasonry o f today in America and England is not only
associated with Rosicrucianism, but even more than this. For instance, in the
XIII Chapter o f this official textbook, whose author is given as Khei, the head
o f the Society, and whose publication is authorized by the “High Council” of
the society, we read:
“It is the teaching of the Brotherhood, that Freemasonry owes its real origin
to the Rosicrucians.” In other words, this Society teaches this claim to its
members.
Then on page 321, in the same Chapter, we find that after the author has tried
to show that Masonry does not contain all the secrets and explanation of the
symbolism of the Masons, the seeker is told he must go to the Rosicrucian
teachings: This is stated in these words:
“Since Masonry, the offspring, fails us in our search for the true exegesis, we
must turn to Rosicrucianism, the parent.”

A TERRIBLE EXAMPLE
Such a misstatement o f fact is unfair both to Freemasonry and
Rosicrucianism. There is nothing in the true teaching of Rosicrucianism that
reveals the secrets or meanings of the Freemasonic symbolism or work from a
Masonic point of view. Such a claim is intended solely to make Freemasons
believe that if they have not quickly and easily discerned all there is to discern
in Freemasonry, they need only unite with the Rosicrucian society. It is
ridiculous and without the slightest warrant.
How does the society proceed to illustrate such a point? We read on in the
same Chapter of this official textbook. We approach an interesting point. The
author is offering his Rosicrucian explanation o f the Masonic symbolism o f the
 7

“House not made with hands.” We wonder what dare be said in public print on
this subject. We are assured, however, that what follows was read before
Metropolitan Lodge No. 1, Ark Mariner Masons, New York City, in 1918, and
that by publishing it freely to the world—
“No Masonic Obligations have been violated by this procedure and it is hoped
that this instruction will be studied most carefully by all Masons to whom it
may come, whether they are members o f the Rosicrucian Fraternity or not.”
So, believing that what is to follow was approved by Masons and I s not
prohibited by them as secret parts of their studies, we are astounded and
shocked to discover that this author presents the matter that was given in the
above Masonic lodge, in the form of sex-teachings! Can anything be further
away from pure Rosicrucianism and true Freemasonry? Actually, the columns
before the Temple of Solomon and the entrance way are associated with sex
matters in words that are too disgusting for us to think o f using here and which
could never enter a lecture or discussion connected with real Rosicrucianism.

NONE WILL BELIEVE IT

How can Masons o f today read such matter and believe that it la either
Masonic or Rosicrucian? Rosicrucianism does not touch upon sex matters
anywhere in its thousands o f lessons, in any o f its booklets, discussions,
symbols or physiological treatises. It is this one outstanding fact that has made
the Rosicrucian teachings notable in comparison with modem cults: and we
know the same thing can be said in regard to the teachings o f Freemasonry.
Yet, here is an organization, a society, using the name Rosicrucian, claiming
to be "intimately connected" with and the "parent" o f Freemasonry, appealing to
Freemasons in every breath, limiting its high council membership to
Freemasons and otherwise proclaiming an affrliation or connection with
Masonic bodies, contrary to all Masonic principles and at the same time
offering as official teachings such things as are an insult to the intelligence o f
either Freemasons or Rosicrucians and unfit for polite discussion anywhere.

WHAT AMORC CLAIMS

In conclusion let us call the reader's attention to what AMORC has always
said about the connection o f Rosicrucianism with Freemasonry. We knew, too,
that some Masons might think that there was a connection between the Rose-
Croix Degree o f Freemasonry and the Rose Cross o f our Order. Hence we tried
in every clear cut emphatic manner and in every piece o f official propaganda
literature, to state the true situation.
 8

In the first propaganda book issued by the AMORC to be sent through the
mails all over the United States, we said:
"When we say that the Order (AMORC) has absolutely no connection with
any branch o f the Theosophical Society, the New Thought Movement or
Freemasonry, we do not mean to say such a connection would be displeasing or
detrimental; but it is unnecessary— and impossible! ... In respect to all these
movements we have only the kindest thoughts and good wishes."
The book containing the above statement, on page six, was distributed for
many years while we had our headquarters in New York and San Francisco, and
not less than 60,000 copies of such books, outlining the nature and purposes o f
the AMORC, were distributed.
On the same page, in the same AMORC book, is this very definite statement:
"Lest there be any misunderstanding, let it be known that the Order (AMORC)
in America is not affiliated in any way— nor are its Supreme Officers—with
any other philosophical, scientific or occult organization in America."
There is nothing indefinite or misleading about that statement.
ITie first newspaper articles— some covering a whole page, such as that in
the New York World Magazine Section for March, 26th, 1916— announcing the
establishment o f the Order in America, distinctly state that the AMORC was
being sponsored solely by Rosicrucian bodies or authorities o f Europe and
mentions no connection with any other society.
When the time came to prepare a new national propaganda booklet because
o f the move of the headquarters to Tampa from San Francisco, the same
precautions against misunderstanding were taken. The new book, still in use,
with thousands o f copies distributed in every state of the United States and in all
parts o f Canada and Mexico, and with at least five thousand copies distributed
right here in Tampa itself, says in very plain language on page thirteen:

NO M A SO NIC CO N N ECTIO N
"Just as the AMORC has no physical relationship with the Freemasonic
Order, even though., this body has every right to use the term Rose Croix and
the Rosy Cross symbol in its Scottish Rites (as mentioned on page 5) even so
the AMORC is not physically connected with some o f the other movements in
Europe and America," etc. Throughout the bode the statement is emphasized
that AMORC is independent o f all other societies or organizations and our lit­
erature, which has been translated in seven languages and disseminated through
the world for many years, presents the same consistent claims.
In summarizing, then, let us repeat: There may be a society in England using
the term Rosicrucian, founded by some men as a Rosicrucian Masonic literary
society and having no real Rosicrucian rituals or work, and having some
assistance from an Austrian or German source through an individual. And it
may be that this English body, created without any intention o f making it a pure
 9

Rosicrucian body, chartered some branches in America which passed away and
then were revived as being “intimately connected" with Freemasonry.
But, the fact remains that the Rosicrucian bodies can be formed in only one
way, by sponsorship and guidance by a superior Rosicrucian body possessing
and retaining the ancient authority, ritual, constitution and system as well as the
pure teachings, FREE FROM ALLIANCE WITH ANYTHING BUT PURE
ROSICRUCIANISM.
The Rosicrucian Fraternity in Germany was NOT the first and parent body in
Europe. That is believed only by those who also believe that there was a person
or character having the name Christian Rosenkreuz without realizing that this
was merely a pen-name used on some propaganda books, and means, when
translated from the German, "Christian Rosy Cross." The Order in Germany and
Austria, as in other countries at different periods, was founded on authority and
approval from a superior body, and that superior body of men— a real high
council indeed — existed in Toulouse, France, for several centuries after having
existed in India and Egypt.

A U TH O RITY FRO M AN INDIVIDUAL IM POSSIBLE

To claim that any person could go from England or America to the home o f a
Rosicrucian member in Austria or Germany and there receive, at the hands o f
one person, Rosicrucian Initiation and Authority to start an "English Masonic
Rosicrucian Society," as this society in England and America claims, is too
absurd to argue. It may make an appeal, under a misleading impression, to some
Freemasons, but not to many, in fact. If authority to organize new jurisdiction o f
any ancient order could be granted in this way, what a mess there would be in
all society circles.
No Rosicrucianism has absolutely no connection with Freemasonry today,
and has not had for hundreds o f years, even though they may have cooperated in
many ways in years gone by in England, and even though many Freemasons in
Europe today are also Rosicrucians, and some o f their conclaves are held in the
same cities in the same vacation period of the summer. In America, at any rate,
the two bodies have NEVER been associated or affiliated, despite any o f the
claims and great insinuations of this "literary" society o f Rosicrucians.

THE FACTS ABOUT THE AMORC AUTHORITY

The Rosicrucian Order, known internationally as AMORC (or translations o f

this name) is not only separate from all other but Rosicrucian societies, but in its
very first pronunziamento issued in this country it proclaimed itself to be a
separate and distinct organization, and this proclamation was incorporated in its
 10

Constitution when each o f its various paragraphs were adopted by the great
national convention of Rosicrucian Delegates from all over the United States.
The AMORC in America today is the only Rosicrucian organization
affiliated with the international bodies o f Rosicrucians throughout the world. It
is the only Rosicrucian body in America having received authority, power,
rights and assistance from a competent body o f Rosicrucians o f the ancient
lineage and through the See o f Toulouse, the recognized and traditional
International seat o f true Rosicrucianism for many centuries.
Likewise the AMORC in America, as in dozens of foreign lands, is the only
Rosicrucian organization using the original and true Rituals, Titles, Degrees,
symbols and secret work, as translated, revised and adapted from century to
century under competent authority and approved by the various international
Rosicrucians Congresses. And it is the only such body in America adhering to
the true ancient traditions, keeping itself clean and wholesome, free from sex
teachings, political arguments or misleading affiliations, bearing the authority o f
Count de Bellecastle-Ligne as Hierophant o f the international council and
having the only American representation in the recent and past International
Rosicrucian Congresses.
We say all this with honor and respect, as we have always said, to all other
orders and movements in America, especially the Freemasonic; and many
incidents in our work here in America have shown and proved that each one o f
us at headquarters has labored often at great sacrifice, to maintain the
independence of Rosicrucianism and at the same time the good wishes o f every
other organization acting fairly and in accordance with facts.
* * *

There are many hundreds o f reputable citizens in this district who are only
too happy to vouch for the cleanness and fairness o f the activities o f AMORC,
but just as the AMORC protected the Rosicrucian Symbols as the AMORC
name with the only Registration o f this kind in the United States Patent Office,
and protected its organization form by proper legal incorporation in many states,
countries and lands, so the AMORC will use its vast national and international
resources to protect its name at this time. The matter presented on this page will
be given national and international distribution through its own magazines in
different countries and through the newspapers. Telegrams and letters are being
received from all Rosicrucian jurisdictions everywhere offering to assist in this
open presentation of the real facts. As in the past, the slogan o f the Order is
“Soli Deo Gloria!”

ROSICRUCIANS WILL
BUILD NEW TEMPLE
Made possible by the philanthropy
of a Rostcruclan Brother, member of
the Ancient and Mystical Order Rosae
Crucis of North America, that organ­
isation will soon begin work on a new
temple building that will be erected
at Flower street near Rose avenue at
an estimated cost of $100,000. Funds
for the building as well as the two
plots of ground that will ultimately
hold a Rosicruclan University were
contributed, according to the order’s
secretary, Ethel M. Davis, by a mem-
b<h: who wishes his name held secret.
Two lots -were purchased, she said,
for $27,000. The transaction was ne­
gotiated by the T. J. Lawrence Com­
pany. Besides the new $100,000 tem­
ple. other buildings will be added as
future needs demand them, it was
(announced.

Tampa. Fla.. May 3. 19 27.
To the Kditor of The Times;
I would like to say a few w ords In con­
nection with the controversy th at is going on
In your ‘T uhllc r u ls e ” colum n. I have read
with much Interest the various argument*,
and agree with som e and disagree with
other*. But I think I can speak on behalf of
a great many Intelligent and falrmlnded per­
sons In this country, especially 30,600 or
more who are sincere students o f religion and
the sciences.
There seems to he widespread Ignorance
in regard to what the modern schools teach
in regard to evolution. A great many of
those who are arguing agalnat the teaching
o f evolution do not know th at Darwin had
two distinct ideas In regard to h is scientific
postulations and published tw o different
manuscripts which later became his famous
hooks. Before he died one o f these manu­
scripts or books was discarded by him and by
sevenly-five per cent of the scientific world,
ami Is no longer taught as a doctrine or theo­
ry but may he occasionally referred to as an
ancient p h i l o s o p h y - much like the writings
o f som e of the Creeks of centuries gone by.
I refer to the cut-and-dried doctrine of the
Origin o f the Species. I do not believe that
there Is a modern, rational, scientific school
or institute in the world today that j« teach­
ing the original Darwin doctrines of the ori­
gin of species, and whenever th is dodrine is
referred In its errors are pointed out and the
fact that it has been rejected is made plain.
This was the dortrine that attem pted to ar­
gue that man is the result of the evolution of
the nionkev species. Most of the prolific writ­
ers of anti-evolution are stilj laboring under
the belief that the ancieat and rejected Dar­
winian theory is still being tau ght, and they
do not seem to make the distinction between
spiritual Hnd incntul evolution and physical
evolution. May I, therefore, sla te what the
Itosieruclana throughout the World under-
stand in tills regard? and this means lion,*
0011 nit Usually intelligent students of the sci-
eni i s and devout worshippers of Cod and the
Christ inn religion.
The UusicruriHiPt understand that man, as
r definite expression in the anim al species,
began when Cod created man, find that before
Cod created man. man was not an animal and
wa* not in existence at all. What animal ele­
ments or vegetabla elem ents m ay hare en­
tered into the com position of his body is Im­
material. The Bible distinctly states, as a
fundam ental principle o f ontology, that God
formed man out o f the dust of the earth, and
we know that means th st the physlcsl body of
man was formed of all the primary elem ents
carefully selected and brought together so as
to give man’s body the very highest expres­
sion from every view point. That there may
have been id her elem ent* oT anim al life or
other species of anim al matter used in the
formation of m an’s body is undoubtedly (rue,
for today man's physical body is formed of
anim al and vegetable as well as mineral ele­
ments evolved to the high state in which we
found them in man's physical composition.
But the scriptural ontology distinctly stales
that after this physical body, through pro­
cesses of evolution or selectivity and chem ­
ical transm utation, was formed into b unique
expression nnd body, Cod breathed into this
form the breath of life and man became n
living soul, or, in other words, a new spe­
cie known as "man/* made in God’s image
and likeness. Now why, therefore, should we
look upon man as a result o f th e component
parts th at entered Into his physical body?
I am w orking at the present lim e on the
preparation of a book. That book, when it
is com pleted, w ill be formed o f pages of pa­
per, bound with a rover of rftrdlHiitrd and
cloth. On the pages will be printed words
formed of linotype sings and individual ini­
tials. On the rover there w ill be gold let­
ters formed by brass dies and gold leaf. When
(he book Is com pleted and Is given to one of
my friends with the m essage It contains, with
Ha expression, personality, and living vital
character speaking from 11a pages, I would be
greatly shocked to have my friend examine
the hook and aay: “ So thia hook la an evolu­
tion o f primary elem ent* and la composed of
m ineral, vegetabla and anim al life, and there­
fore, ibis book had its origin in the seed* in
the ground, in the minerals, and In plants and
is, therefore, m erely an evolution from low-

er life.*' I would say that he wee missing the

greet ness of Its existence end I would most
certainly claim that the book as a "book,"
had its beginning when It was made a book
and did not have Its beginning as a book in
the elements of brass or sine or oils and fats
or linen or cotton. As a book it did not come
into existence until the master-worker of it
bad evolved his great idea to completion and
then, putting the final touch upon it, said:
“This is a book, made Jn the image of my
concept ion."
Roslcruclans believe that man waa cre­
ated in the aams way and that aince the time
of craation the soul of man la srolTing

our worship of God and His ways.
1 would like to comment also upon the
statement made in these columns that Benja-
in Franklin was a close adherent to the fun­
. tmental doctrines of religions and would sot
have accepted any of the present-day doc­
trines. The writer of that statement did not
know that Mr. Franklin was also a Roskru-
cian. an officer of the Itosicrucian order, and
connected with the early Roairrucian founda­
tion that was established near Philadelphia In
iS II, and that it was through his conaectkm
with the Roskrucisn order that he evolved
the library system and many other means of
disseminating the very practical as well ax re­
ligious information promoted by the Rosicru-
cisns. Thomas Jefferson and many others
notable in American history were members
and officers of the Rosicrucian order, then,
as thousands of notable characters and lead­
ers in man's spiritual and mental evolution
are members today. Before the present-day
teachings of evolution are so greatly criti-
died by advocates of legislation every one
'should become familiar with what the schools
are actually teaching and what the schools
and universities are offering to their students.
This would give every one a better under­
standing at ciples of evolution

HEAVY RAINFALL
REGISTERED IN
BRIEF INTERVAL
Nearly Half Inch of Pre­
cipitation in 10
Minutes
The heavy wind and rainstorm that
broke over Tampa shortly before noon
yesterday was one of the moat severe
during the present rainy season, the
city being deluged with .40 inches
of rain In about 10 minutes.
The maximum velocity of the wind
for about five minutes was 24 miles
an hour, according to the offtclal
instruments at the weather bureau,
and there was one brief gust during
which it attained a velocity of ap­
proximately 30 miles. Citizens living
In the Seminole Heights section and
along the bay shore were convinced
the wind In those sections was much
higher than that, according to reports
they made to W J. Bennett, director
at the weather office.
There were many persons who were
alarmed by the wind, and for more
than an hour Mr. Bennett's telephone
was kept busy with inquiries about
the prospects of a hurricane The
weather director quieted all these
fears by announcing there is no
hurricane scheduled for this section
at this time. It w s reported that in
various sections of the city there was
some little damage done to roofs of
buildings but there was nothing
j serious, so far as could be ascertained.
The rain began falling shortly be­
fore 12 o'clock and r e a c h e d the
maximum from 12 to 12:10 during
which time .40 inches was pre-
cipi'-ated. The rain continued falling
in varying quantities until about 12 30,
the weather bureau reporting that
yesterday's rainfall amounted to .60
inches The rainfall for this month
Is 5.R4 Inches, which is about a quarter
of 33 of an Inch in excess of normal.
The rain yesterday and the clouds
which continued to hang over the
city for several h o u r s thereafter
brought much cooler weather. The
mercury was at 86 when the rain
began falling and well to 73 within
a half hour.
Lightning struck the aerial tower
of radio station of WJBB at the
Roslcrucinn temple just a few minutes
before the noon program was to be
broadcast. Several day* will be re­
quired to make repairs and until these
are effected there will be no programs.
No one was injured.

ROSICRUCIANS
PLAN TO MOVE
TO CALIFORNIA
Headquarters To Go to
San Jose, College

Removal of the national offices of

the Rosienician* order from Tampa to
Ban Jose, Calif., was officially an­
nounced last night by Dr. H, Sin­
clair lewis, president of Amore col­
lege, operated here by the order.
The college branch, established here
11 years ago, will be retained. The
removal of the national office, which
will take with it Dr. Lewis, his son.
Ralph, who Is secretary of the In­
stitution, and seven department heads,
will take place during the first two
weeks of December.
The national offices, which con­
trol 120 branch colleges over the
country, were moved to Tampa from
San Prmncisco two years ago.
“Moving the offices will have noth­
ing to do with the college here," Dr.
Lewis said. " I t will operate as it has
been operated. Our moving casts no
reflection on Tampa or Florida. Con­
ditions here do not affect the school
one way or th e other. I t has always
been our policy to move the offices
from one city to another to better as­
sist the growth of the Institution."
Dr. Lewis said that an election
would be held soon to appoint an in­
structor to take charge of the local
branch.

In tho words of Dr. Lewis the or­
ganisation Is more than 3000 years
old. having been founded by King
Amonhotep of the Egyptians, centuries
before the advent of Christ. It Is to
Amenhotcp’s recently excavated city
that tho expedition plans to head next
year, and there, amid tho recon­
structed ruins, lead a life similar to
the tradllton of the ancient people.
It will bo a trip primarily proposed
for tho collection of scientific data
regarding the fine sciences, which the
ill-fated Amcnhotep fostered during a
brief reign.
The symbol of the order—AMORO—
Is taken from the ancient and mystical
order of "rosao crucls." Tho order
already operates four stations, at
Tampa, New York, Montreal and
Vancouver and has already applied for
& transfer of the Tampa license to
San Jose.
The contract for tho Egyptian
temple to bo erected on the half block
of property owned by the order at
Naglee and Chapman Streets, has
already been awarded to the Minton
Company of this vicinity, and many
other local contracts will be prepared
shortly.
In addition. It Is expected that many
new homes will be built In San Jose

ancient Egyptians, and live according
to the principles propounded by
Amenhotep In an effort to prove that

Lewis.

discussed the Egyptian project publicly
before he left for San Jose, Calif.,
w hen the supreme lodge la to be main­
tained after being located In Tampa
for two yean. Dr. Lewie and his fam­
ily departed about Nov. 16, going first
to New York, thence to California.
While the supreme lodge was re­
moved from Tampa, headquarters of
the grand lodge of Florida will be
maintained here. Transfer of the 600-
watt radio station to San Jose has
met with objections from residents of
the California town who protest the
station would constitute a nuisance.
Fromised Art Center
Dr. Lewis created a sensation in
Tampa nearly two years ago when he
announced that this city had been
chosen as the site of a 613,000.000 art
m iter. A 33-story skyscraper which
would embrace a mammoth audi­
torium, powerful radio broadcasting
station, an academy of fine arts and
an institution chartered years ago
when the late Theodore Roosevelt be­
came active In founding the cultural
center, was to be built at the corner
of Lafayette and Pierce streets. Dr.
Lewis declared in an atfdress before
the lio n s dub on Feb. 19. 1936.
Then there was to be an astronomi­
cal laboratory located on a duplicate

HE SEMPLE LIFE
T Efforts are being made to create a
colony of several thousand Americans—
largely Hated as Roslcrucians, and estab­
lish * city on the banks of the Nile In an*
d e n t E g y p t There they would abandon
the frills and doodads of oar hectic modem
life and dwell In the simplicity of their fore- 1
fathers. They would have no modern
plumbing, no telephonee, radio or electric
curling Irons. There wouldn't oven be a
m ovie or a Jazz band. They would dress
as closely to the manner of Eve as possible
and th ey would eulUvato the soil sufficiently
to m eet their ow n m odest needs—and no
more. T hat would give them plenty of time
for reading. 6tudy and meditation—although
they would have very little to meditate
over. T he program sounds a bit Idyllic and

Methodist Congregation
Leases Property on
Memorial Highway
Lease of the entire property of the
Rosicrucian order at Memorial High­
way and Armenia avenues has been
taken by Trinity Methodist church,
which will move Into Its new quarters
after extensive improvements, by
Jan. 1.
Announcement of the transfer of
Trinity’s activities was made yesterday
by the Rev. William W. Latte, pastor.
While the lease price was not stated,
the property had been offered for sale
for $75,000.
At the Rosicrucian plant Trinity will
have ample room for all Its church
and Sunday school work, which here­
tofore has been scattered. There is a
nine-room parsonage in the rear of the
lot. where Mr. Laite will live.
Organized in 1921 as Moody Heights,
the name of the church was changed
to Trinity in 1925. It has 189 mem­
bers and about 300 in the Sunday
school. The move was made necessary
by lack of room to grow at North
Howard and North B streets.
The building committee which
handled the transaction comprises B.
L. Jordan, chairman; W. T. McElvey,
chairman of the finance committee; B.
A. Marks, treasurer; Graham Jones,
Dr. Earle H. McRae, D. M. 8mith, R.

Building
While carpenters and painters and
masons end other members of the
building trades are still hnrd at work,
rushing the new building to complc-
tlon, the national headquarters of the
Ancient Mystic Order of Roslcruclans
was occupied today by the headquar­
ters’ staff.
The last piece of office furniture
and equipment was moved to the new
plant In Naglee Avenue today. While
work still remains to be done on the
new building, all of the office records
and all of the office staff, have been
transferred from the temporary head­
quarters on The Alameda, In use for
some weeks p a s t.
EGYPTIAN STYLE
The front of the new structure Is
In the classic Egyptian style. It was
designed by E. T. Stewnr* Roslcru-
clan of Tampa, Fla., designer of many
Masonic buildings, who has traveled
extensively In the Orient, gathering
Information and material to aid In the
design of Just such structures. Two
tall battlement flagpoles arc to be
erected at the front.
The main entrance way. also In pure
Egyptian style, has two Egyptian an­
tique doors, fitted with stained ghws
windows, and further ornamented
with hammered antique knockers and
hinges.
LORRY EGYPTIAN
The main lobby Is also Egyptian In
character, with three Egyptian doors,
the bronze handles of which repre­
sent mummies In their caskets. The
door casings taper, being narrower at
top than at bottom. The reverse side
of the doors arc of ronvcntlonal mod­
ern design.
One of the doors from the lobby
leads Into the AMORO radio broad­
casting studio. The walls and cell­
ing of the studio are being lined with
doubles thicknesses of material ol
echo-proof qualities, to permit clem
broadcasting without confusion from
Intcrfereneo of reflected sound waves.
ORIENTAL DRAPERIES
Many thousands of dollars are In­
vested In rare Oriental rugs which
will cover the 6tudto floors. Still
other thousands represent the Invest­
ment for costly Oriental draperies and
couches and a clever lighting system,
which will convert the Interior of the
studio Into a replica of an Oriental
sornglio,
On the opposite side of the lobby
are halls leading to a llberary room,
finished In mahogany. Here also are
the offices of the lmperator. Dr. H.
Spencer Lewis, and the supreme sec­
retary. Ralph M. JLiCwls.
EXPERIMENTAL LARORATORY
In this building will also be located
the experimental laboratory. Accord­
ing to Dr. Lewis, considerable experi­
ments have already been conducted
by the Roslcruclans, many of them of
Startling significance.
"Wc plan to continue our experi­
ments In television here, as well os
high and low frequency radio trans­
mission. We have actually performed
the fent of transmission of matter ay
radio, for a distance of about 20 feet,
using beam transmission. The ex­
periment was carried out with gold,
which was broken down into electrons
by a process of ». Jlo-octlvlty. and then
sent out on a carrier wave, and gath­
ered together by nn accumulator.
“In 1912, at the same time that Dr
Herrold was experimenting with radio
telephone broadcasting here, wc were
experimenting with radio reception at
the AMORC laboratory In New v 0rk.
We perfected the method of radio
phone reception by crystal detector 1
receiving voice broadcasts from as far
away as Chicago. Wc donated the
circuit and the results of our experi­
ments to the United States Navy
Yard at Brooklyn, and It was adopt-
cd for Navy use.
TRANSMUTATION TESTS
“Wc have even reached that goal
of the alchemists of ancient days —
the transmission of baser metals Into
gold. In some of our chemical experi­
ments. Wo have made the experi­
ments In the presence of newspaper
men and scientific men of first rank,
transmuting zinc to gold. It costs
about $150 to make a dolar's worth
of gold, so It Is not a process that Is
commercially practicable.
"The gold produced stands all tests
of pure, natural gold, except that of
hardness and specific gravity. It is
harder than natural gold. It Is more
compact. The electron arrangement
seems more compact,

BOX OF ELEMENTS
“In a month or two you will see
here a box containing every kno\vn
clement — a truly remarkable collec­
tion. Wo have one unique rock which
contains all three of the radlo-actlw
elements—radium, uranium and van­
adium. While examining tills rock
we found that If held In the hand It
changed color. We passed it from
person to person, trying to note any
peculiar performance or variation.
There was one person In the group
troubled with kidney disease. He held
It for a few minutes and when wc
looked at the rock, we found It cov­
ered with moisture. His hand was
moist. We examined the structure pf
the crystals of the moisture drawn
from the hand, and found It to bo
uric acid. Thereupon, we treated this
Individual by letting him'hold the
rock dally for a half hour. He was
shortly cured completely of his trou­
ble. Since then, the rock has been
used successfully on many occasions
for the same purpose.
"There arc many men of national
note who are Roslcruclans. and It Is
when they visit headquarters that
most of the outstanding experimental
work Is done "
MAILING DEPARTMENT
At the rear of tho building Is a
large, airy, well-lighted room, used as
the mailing department. Here girls
prepare and mall out the order's pub­
lications.
“We send out In the neighborhood
of 100.000 pieces of mall a month,”
Dr. Lewis declared. “With every piece
of mall goes a circular advertising the
beauties and advantages of Ban Jose.
We are here to do what we car. to
build up the community.
“We are the biggest customer the
Postal Telegraph Company has In San
Jose. Our telegraph bill runs from
t300 to $500 a month.
“Our postage alone costs! rom $100
to $160 per day, on the average. In
Florida, wc maintained one branch
postoffice by our stamp sales alone
Wc didn't get our mall delivered—It
was so large that wo always called
| for It And the boom collapsed, with
the result that our stamp purchases
maintained the branch postoffice.
“I believe we have the only metered
mailing machine In the country. It
automatically stamps, cancels and
seals our mailing matter, and a '
• meter keeps accurate count of the
j number of pieces stamped. At the
I end of the month we pa" th post-
orflce department what the meter
reading Indicates. Most of our mall
leaves here bundled and sacked, ready
to go on the mall trains. «
“It Is our Intention to do all our
business In Ban Jose, so far as pos­
sible. Alrcndy we are keeping two lo­
cal printing houses suppllc with our
work. We shall try to employ local
people, so far as possible.”
RADIO STATION
Two tall steel masts are now being
erected for tho AMORC radio station.
The radio control building Is separate
from and In the rear of the main .
structure. Some $30,000 Is being ex­
pended for the radio Installation.
“The radio will not bo used for prop­
aganda,” Dr. Lewis declared. “Wc
are not going to broadcast sermons
or religious services of our order—for,
despite the symbol o. the cross In our
Insignia, we have no denominational
creed to preach—wc arc not a church.
Wc are going to try to give only the
best of music, and programs that will
reflect credit to San Jose.”
The short wave broadcast work will
' begin next week, the transmitter now
being In process of Installation. ThC
short wnve station will V oadcast on
a wave length of 41. * meters, using a
350-watt transmitter. A counterpoise
antenna win*be used Instead of a
'ground, giving a wave of exceptional
I sharpness.

The very wide and increasing Inter­
est In the subject of tfoslcruclanlsm
at the present time Indicates a nat­
ural revival of one of the earliest
forma of philosophical and scientific
knowledge systematized In America.
In fact, It may be said that Roslcru-
clanlsm and the Roslcruclan princi­
ples were closely allied with the foun­
dation of America and certainly played
an Important part In the establish­
ment of many of Its cultural systems,
as shown by the historical records
preserved In Philadelphia and Wash­
ington.
Ever since tho first Roslcruclans
came to America in 1694 and estab­
lished the first non-sectarian Sunday
school, 10 years before a Sunday school
was established In Europe, and pro­
moted astronomical, botanical, chemi­
cal and medical research, the Rosl­
cruclans have been Instrumental In
advancing the fine arts, the sciences
and the religious actlvltlco of many
organizations.
‘•VIA ROSAE CRUCI.S”
Just as "via cruets" was the cry In
the crusades of the middle ages, so
has the cry "via Rosac Crucls" been
the cry of countless thousands for
many centuries In the united effort to
contribute to the personal evolution of
man and his general advancement In
civilization.
By way of the rosy cross, the cross
with the single red rose in Its center,
the symbol of Roslcruclans, or fra­
ternity of the red rose and golden
cross 1 Mystical though the name and
symbol appear, the organization in all
ages and all climes has boon one of
practical effort and distinct efficiency
in meeting the material problems of
life. Roslcruclanlsm is not the doctrine
of a cult, nor the philosophy of a
school of esthetics.
ORIGIN IN ANTIQUITY
With Its origin lost in antiquity we
can find references to It in the sane
and rational writings of the earliest
scientists. Among Its first advocates
In the Orient we find men- and
women—whose names and fame are
associated with the discovery of medi­
cine and therapeutic systems, astrono­
mers, herbalists, cosmotologlsts and
chemists.
It is true that In the middle ages
man:' of its most learned apologists
wcer alchemists and wrote much about
their "art of transmutation" but their
work with crucibles and fire was not
always for the purpose of proving na­
ture's processes of purifying the dross
, into the refined gold; it was the
* higher purpose of demonstrating that
in the nature of man there was that
which could be mentally transmuted
into the spiritual essence of perfec­
tion.
SEVERE MORAL PRECEPTS
Wherever and whenever the brothers
of the rosy cross were united In their
official duties, there advances were
made in tho name of their symbol,
without ostentation, personal credit or
aggrandizement, and the literature of
the world Is replete with references
to the organization like that tribute
uttered by Lord Buhver Lytton, who
said in his Roslcruclan story called
Zanonl, that It was “an august fra­
ternity—most jenlous of all secret so­
cieties—whose doctrines, hinted at by
tho earliest philosophers, are still a
mystery to the greatest scholars not
Initiated. Its members still prosecute
their profound researches Info natural
sciences and occult philosophy, and
no monastic order Is so severe in the
practice of moral precepts."
PRACTICES IIUMANITARIANISM
Known throughout the world as
the Ancient, Mystical Order Rosae

every land, Amorc the organization j
numbers among Its present adherents !
, and followers the most learned of men
and women and those most devoted to
j school, although the foundations of its
good citizenship, Christian living and
charitable thinking. Prom the highest
offices In governments In all countries
to the quiet and undisclosed efforts
of those who have retired from the
business world, there Issue the direc­
tion and promulgation of the many
humanitarian activities of the order.
Funds are sent to the Egypt Ex­
ploration Society In Boston for carry­
ing on the special excavations at Tel-
el-Amarna, from which must light has
been thrown upon the history of scl- i
cnce and civilization; other funds are
sent to branches In Copenhagen, Ver- i
dun, Berlin, London and Romo for the
care of war orphans; while through
the agency of specialized workers
clinics are maintained in many cities j
for the care of the sick, the rehabili­
tation of soldiers, the promotion of
education and the prevention of dis- ■
ease. Libraries are established In ac- |
cordance with the first Rosicrucian •
mamiesto to this effect Issued by Ben- I
Jamin Franklin, who wa6 an officer of
the early foundation In Philadelphia. I
ROOSEVLLT WAS MEMBER
Through Its teachings, men and
women are helped In their professions
and arts. Its chief officer, Dr. H.
Spencer Lewis, is one of the directors
of the American Foundation of Fine
Arts as planned by the late Theodore
Roosevelt and Mmc. Lillian Nordlca.
who were enthusiastic Rosicrucians.
Ho Is also the American representa- i
tive of the International fine arts
bodies of Europe, of which Fermln
Gcmier of the Opera Comique In Paris
Is the president.
Through these and many other
similar connections, tho AMORC In
North America assists many to attain
a high degree of perfection In then
chosen fields, while it contributes to
the advancement of the sciences
through Its period revelation of facts
discovered in its muny American and
foreign laboratories.
NOT RELIGIOUS SCHOOL
The organization Is not a religious
teachings are laid in Its first principle
of the Rosicrucian ontology, which is.
“And God breathed Into man the
Dreath'ot life and the man became a
living soul," with emphasis upon the
'act that many became essentially a
.oul rather than a living body.
Smce clergymen and followers of
all denominations are members of the
organization, one may sec that sec­
tarian doctrines play no part In the
teachings. However, applicants for
membership must vouch for their be­
lief In the existence of God as well as
pledge to respect and honor the flag
of the country and affirm that they
have never been guilty of treason or
engaged In any unlawful practice.
NOT AKIN TO YOGI
The teachings of the organization
are graded Into classes and subjects
like the curriculum of a university and
Includo such matters as physics, chem­
istry, psychology, ontology, cosmology,
dletlcs, biology, metaphysics, tho ap­
plied and practical sciences and the
professional arts. There Is not the
slightest relationship to the vague and
Oriental Ideas of the Yogi exercises,
or the Hindu methods of mysticism.
In fact, the AMORO Is not a part of
any of the afielcnt or foreign systems
of occult study.
The principles of Roslcruclanlsm are
very -strict In regard to moral and
ethical standards. To RoGlcruclans,
marriage Is a most holy and sacred
tie, not to be entered into lightly nor
easily severed. Each member is taught
that next to his duty to God Is his
I duty to his wife, family or parents,
then to his country. He must be
charitable In his political and busi­
ness dealings, broadly humanitarian In
his desires and actions and enthusi­
astic in his support of every move­
ment, every Institution and every plan
contributing to the uplift of man or
the personal evolution of character.

NO FANATICAL DOCTRINES
There are no fanatical or extreme
doctrines. Roslcruclans are not vege­
tarians, teetotalers, antl-vlvlsectlonlsts
or reformers In any sense through
commands of the organization. Each
Is made acquainted with the laws of
nature, the penalties for all violations
and allowed the privilege of choos­
ing personal courses In life. The mem­
bers arc not th e.b lind followers of
some leader to whom personal allegi­
ance Is pledged, but equal associates
with all others In an International
body with branches In every civilized
land.
FREE OF PARTY TIES
Thomas Jefferson, one of the early
officers of the organization, was one
of the first to establish the custom of
pledging co-operation with the gov­
ernment In its activities, and since
then the AMORC In America has been
a loyal supporter of State and na­
tional laws and principles. Through
many channels and with the assist­
ance of many In high office the order
Is ever alert in the protection of the
best Interests of the citizens, and
being free from any political connec­
tions It Is able to carry to fruition
many projects which might be frus­
trated by party influences.
Since the organization functions as
a fraternal body, with its lodges and
temples, It naturally has rituals and
ceremonies, but these are not in the
form of Oriental rites of barbaric
pomp. Each ritual of Initiation Is-
a dramatic presentation of some of
the fundamental laws of nature, ar­
ranged Ho impress the members with
the beauty and significance of the
principles involved.
USE EGYPTIAN COSTUMES
The order has Its own temple
buildings and lodges in the principal
cities of North America, and these are
usually of Egyptian style and decora­
tion, with all officers robed In Egyp­
tian costumes of the 17th dynasty.
The reason for this Is found in the
fact that the Roslcruclons trace much
of their philosophy to the wonderfu
writings of Amenhotep IV, Pharaoh
of Egypt. He it was woh established
the first monotheistic religion known
to man and by official decree pro­
hibited the practice of heathen, idol
worship throughout Egypt.
He claimed that the sun disk was
not to be worshipped except In adora­
tion to It as the medium of life power
which emanated from the "sole living
God." 4H c changed the art, literature,
moral and ethical customs of his
land, arid although he lived but a
few years he left an Inldelble Im­
pression upon civilization. He Is gen­
erally regarded as the founder of the
phllosophncal. religious and scientific
schools of the Orient, and for this
reason he is honored by the Roslcru­
clans.
ANTIQUITY MERE BACKGROUND
While the ancient philosophies are,
therefore, referred to In their dra­
matic ceremonies, they form only the
background for the stage-setting of
the present-day teachings. No mystic
or historical character of the past is
worshipped by the Roslcruclans and
all their sacred prayers are directed
to "the God of our hearts,’’ meaning,
thereby, the God of man's conscious­
ness and emotional comprehension, the
inner being of all men, the image of
the God of the universe.
The government of the order In
each land Is autocratic, as Is that ot
practically every fraternal organiza­
tion. But each branch or lodge Is
composed of 144 members who elect a
council of 16. This council then elects
 San Jose E vening News
San Jo se, C alifornia
S a tu rd a y , F e b ru a ry 16,1928
Page 3B

the master and other officers arc un­

der the direction of the supreme coun­
cil for North America, elected to that
body by the general councils of all
lodges. The Imperator of the order,
Dr. H. Spencer Lewis, Is the chosen
leader of the supreme council as well
as a member of tho International
council and a lagte of the other su­
premo councils of the world.
HAS OWN COLLEGES
The organization has Its own col­
leges and university In America, in
which specialized courses are given to
members who are preparing them­
selves for definite missions in life
along very practical lines. As in the
past, the organization Is non-commer­
cial, since It publishes no books for
public sale, has no merchandise or
items of equipment to be purchased
and gives Its Instruction to Its mem­
bers without fees of any kind.
However, the order In this country
has the same reputation as has Its
parent bodies In Europe; It is gener­
ally believed to be enormously wealthy
and able to raise any sum of money
to carry on Its activities. For this
reason It has often been accused of
using its alchemical knowledge to
transmute the base metals Into rare
ones or to direct the affairs of Its
members In such ways as to bring un­
stinted prosperity into their lives and
thereby Into the coffers of the order.
RECORD IS CLEAN
Be that ns It may, the fact is that
tho organization has never been known
to want for means to carry out its
nation-wide plans, nor has it ever been
sued in any court or charged with
any irregularity from a moral, ethical
or financial point of view. Its Im­
perator is a member of many boards to, the organization’s reputation with
of directors and is affiliated with those who arc unacquainted with its
many corporations and big business
propositions and Is one of the prin­ real nature, nnd because the order
cipal supporters of the order's hu­ seldom seeks publicity, very few of the
manitarian activities. real facts arc popularly known.
All these facts tend to add mystery

Using Hester School ns an example,
the spirit of appreciation of schools
and their advantages, which has made
California an outstanding State in
the educational world, is the subject
of the leading article published in the
current number of The Mystic Tri­
angle, official organ of the Rosicru-
clan order.
The article, entitled “The Impera-
tor’s Monthly Message,” written by
Dr. H. Spencer Lewis, lmperator of
the order, describes the custom main­
tained at Hester School of keeping
fresh flowers in a vase under the
picture of M. R. Trace, former prin­
cipal. This spirit of appreciation of
the services and friendship of a for­
mer teacher, which persists after he
is dead, is symbolic of the attitude
of mind of California towards educa­
tion, Dr. Lewis points out.
P R A ISE S SPIRIT
“It Is the spirit of California that
creates this attitude of mind, and
when created in the lives of children
It will last thew hole life through,"

the principles which underlie the
creative power of man's mind. It was
the second of the series of public serv­
ices conducted at the Chamber of
Commerce Hall and again there was a
capacity attendance. In the course
of his lecture Dr. Lewis said:
"We arc prone to think that the
material creations which we enjoy so
abundantly arc the work of mechanics
.and that machinery and physical
labor really constitute the creative
powers or forces which brought them

“LIFE VIBRATIONS”
THEME FOR SERMON
Dr. E. E. Thomas lectured on "The
Source of Life” yesterday at Music
Arts Hall, under the auspices of
the Rosicrucian Brotherhood. He
said in part:
"Life vibrations have but one
source and that Is the sun. Senility
is a part of the death process. It
is caused by the accumulation of
earthly salts or so-called mineral
matter. This mineral matter usual­
ly consists of lime and chalk which
settles upon the walls of the arte­
ries which become hardened and
calcinous and lose their elasticity.
Life is a rate of vibration, a mode
of motion. Death Is the absence of
that vibration. Every human being
who is not sick or insane has an
Innate desire to live ns long as pos­
sible. The solution may lie in an
understanding of the nature of the
glands."

PEOPLE LIKENED TO
ELECTRICAL 1>K\ ICES
“M agnetism” was the subject of a
lecture delivered by Dr. E. E. T h om ­
as yesterday before the members
and friends of the Roslcrucian
Brotherhood. Dr. Thomas said in
parti
“Elccfridty is the invisible agent
known to us only by its various
m anifestations, 'the individual is
a perfect electrical plant, Food,
water and air furnish the fuel. The
j solar plexus is the storage battery
and the sympathetic nervous sy s­
tem is the medium by which the
body is charged with magnetism.
Sleep is the process by which the
battery is recharged and the vital
processes replenished and renewed.
The male is th e positive or electri­
cal charge and the female the n ega­
tive or m agnetic charge. The m ale
represents the current, force, e n ­
ergy; the female, capacity, resist­
ance and power.
“Each person is a magnet having
both positive and negatives poles.
The law of love is a piece of pure
science, and the oldest and sim plest
form of love Is the elective affinity
of two differing cells. Above ail
laws is the law of love, for love Is
life.”

THOM AS C R IT IC IS E S
IN T O L E R A N T T E A C H E R S
"Love, the Secret of Tile,” Is the
subject of a lecture given yesterday
by Dr. E. E. Thomas at a meeting
of the Rosicrucian Brotherhood. Dr.
Thomas said in pan:
“There are some In tho front
ranks of advanced thinkers, some
of the brightest writers ana teach­
ers, intellectually, who seem to re­
gard themselves as self-constituted
censors over fellow-teachers, and
who are quick and herce to hurl
their weapons of denunciation at all
a ho do not square their lives and
conduct by their own measure. They
mete out condemnation to their
erring fellow-mortals. They will be
obliged to lift themselves out of
this condition of mind before they
can expect to enter the kingdom of
the soul, where only lov* is omnip­
otent, We need, all of us, to get
nearer to the great h^art of the
Divine Goodness. We all need more
of that heavenly virtue that
•vaunteth not itself, Is not puffed
up, that Buffereth long and lc
kind.’ ”

BE TRUE TO YOURSELF,
ADVISES ftOSICRUCIAN
Dr. Z. E. Thomas addressed the
; RceirrucJan Brotherhood yesterday
' on "Wisdom and interior Illumina­
tion." He said In part:
"There Is no more important in­
junction in all the world, nor one
with a deeper interior meaning
than 'To thine own self be true/:
In other words, we should be true
to our own soul, for It Is through
our own soul that the voice of God
speaks to us. This is the interior
guide. This Is the light that ligftt-
eth every man that cometh into the
World. This Is conscience. This Is
intuition. This is the voice of the
higher self, the voice of the sou!,
the voice of God."

Pilgrimage of 200 to Egypt
Will Make Start From Here
San Joso wltt be the starting point
of one or•the most unique pilgrimages
of modern limes when 200 members
of tho Rostcrucian order leave Here
January 4 to Visit the Egyptian tern-
plo in which their records declare
their organisation was founded 1360
years beforo tho Christian ora. The
pilgrims will embark from New York
on tho White Star liner Adriatic Jan­
uary 10 for n trip to tho Orient an(l
Europe, H. 0. Lewis, Jmperatcr of the
order, has announced from the n a­
tional headquarters In San Jose.
LEAVE FROM HERE
Reservations are limited to 200, of
whom about 160 are expected to
gather hero for the start, including
representatives from the Western
States, Canada and Mexico. There
are about 30.000 members of the so­
ciety In the United States and
branches In nearly every country of
the world.
The temple at Karnak, built by
Amen-Holep XV, father-in-law of the
late King Tut. Is a principal objective
of tho lour. At midnight on February
28 the pilgrims will re-enact It In the
ceremony of Initiation which, the
order leaches. Is the samo as that
which was regularly used when the
temple was In lu prime.
Through connections with the Egyp­
tian Exploration Society of Lionaoo
which Is largely financed by the order,
costumes and equipment of great an­
tiquity will be secured.
American Express Company officials
are quoted as saying that such a tour
as the one planned has never been
made Into tho Orient In the way the
Rosicrucians are Intending to make It.
These being no hotel accommoda­
tions In Jerusalem for so large a
party, the members will stay In mon­
asteries which dot tho surrounding
hills.
"The trip Is to be no exhibition of
fanaticism and reports that a per­
manent colony will be attempted are
Incorrect," Impure lor Lewis states.
"The lour Is for scientific research
and to visit the places associated with
the mysteries of the ancient order."
CALIGOKTRO’8 TEMPI.E
In Europo the patty will gather at
Tulouse, which la the French head­
quarters and also go to Geneva where
an old Hosier mm n building is located.

At last a new method of ma»tcring our lives and
putting all the obstacles to success and happiness in
their proper place has been outlined by the Su­
preme Council of the Rosicrucians,
And, by a special concession, copies of this new
plan and an explanation of what it will da will be
loaned to those who wish to make a new start in
life and chnnge the course of their career.
The Rosicrucians have ever been known for their
rational, simple and thorough knowledge of the
arcane facts of life. Through all ’ the ages they
have held the Light of Knowledge as a sacred
trust, and thousands of eminent writers and his­
torians have conceded the highest tribute to them.
The new book, called the "Light of Egypt will
be mailed to sincere inquirers without obligation and

M IR A C LES OF T O D A Y
B E L IE V E D PO SSIBLE
Belief in the possibility of the
performance of miracles by men to­
day was voiced yesterday by Dr.
E. E. Thomas in his lecture to the
Roslcrucian Brotherhood at Music
.Art Hall. Dr. Thomas said In part:
'•Whatever cannot be done In the j
---------------------- -----------------
■physical may be done in the spir­
itual, and In direct proportion as
a man Tceognlzes himself as spirit,
and lives accordingly, is he able to
transcend In power the man who
recognizes himself as merely ma­
terial. All the sacred literature of
the world is teeming with examples
of what wc call miracles. They
are not confined to any particular
times, or places. There is no age of
miracles in distinction from any
other period that may be an age
of miracles. Whatever has been
done In the world’s history can be
clone again through the operation
of the same laws and forces.”

200 Americans Will Meet In
Egypt for Ceremony of
Rosicrucians
SAN JOSE. Cal., <AP).—At mid­
night next February 28 In the tem­
ple of Kamak, Egypt, 200 Ameri­
cans, who will have traveled half way
round the world, will enact a cere­
mony dating bnck 3,000 yeara Into
the mystic jxuit.
The ritual which will be employ­
ed by a party of Rosicrucians Is to
be patterned on ancient, forms be­
lieved to have been devised and car­
ried on In tiie same room of that
temple by Amen-Hotep IV, son-in-
law of King Tutankhamen, 1350 years
before the Christian era.
The members of the Rosieruclan
order, having headquarters here, plan
to embark from New York January
10 on a four montlia tour Into the
more Inaccessible places of the
Orient. They wlU be headed by H.
8. Lewis, lmperator for the United
States of the Ancient Order Roaae
Crucis. The party will assemble
here January 4 from many points
along the Pacific coast and from
CanndA and Mexico.
Farther along on the trip they
will be Joined by others from Rosi-
cruelon centers In Europe and Asia.
The ritual in the temple at Kar-
nak. will be part of on Initiation
ceremonial and is one of the prin­
cipal objective:* of the tour. The
order claims A s its founder, Amen-
Hotep IV. The famous King Tut Is
declared by the order’s lilstorlan to
have married into Amen-Hotep’s
family and got possession of the
throne. One of Amen-Hotep'a teach­
ings was a belief in a single deity,
whereas, It is set forth against Tut,
he was a backslider from this faith
and reestablished the ancient priest­
hood. In conjunction with the
Egyption Exploration society of
London, the Roslcrucian Order has
provided costumes and equipment of
considerable antiquity lor the tem­
ple ceremony.
Accommodations for the American
visitors have been arranged for In
monasteries In and near Kamak.

200 hundred Rosicrucians to Conduct Old Initiation Feb. 28

Two hundred American members of the Ancient Order Rosae Crucis

will take part in a traditional ceremony at Karnak, Egypt, next February
28. Fr. Joseph Durham, keeper of their new temple at San Jose, Cal., is
shown standing before the Wall of Silence. H. Spencer Lewis (inset)
is imperator.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 21. - (AP) At midnight next Feb. 28 in the
temple of Karnak, \»gypt, 200 Americans, who will have traveled half
way round the world, will enact a ceremony dating back, 3000 years into
the mystic past.
The ritual which will be employed by a party of Rosicrucians is to be
patterned on ancient forms believed to have been devised and carried on
in the same room of that temple by Amen-Hotep IV, son-in-law of King
Tutankhamen, 1350 years before the Christian era.
 Four Months’ Tour
The members of the Rosicrucian order, having headquarters here, plan
to embark from New York Jan. 10 on a four months tour into the more
inaccessible places of the Orient. They will be headed by H. S. Lewis,
imperator for the United States of the Ancient Order Rosae Crucis. The
party will assemble here Jan. 4 from many points along the Pacific coast
and from Canada and Mexico.
Farther along on the trip they will be joined by others from
Rosicrucian centers in Europe and Asia.

Initiation Ceremonial
The ritual in the temple at Karnak will be part of an initiation
ceremonial and is one of the principal objectives of the tour. The order
claims as its founder, Amen-Hotep IV. The famous King Tut is declared
by the order's historian to have married into Amen-Hotep's family and
got possession of the throne. One of Amen-Hotep's teachings was a
belief in a single deity, whereas, it is set forth against Tut, he was a
back-slider from this faith and reestablished the ancient priesthood. In
conjunction with the Egyptian exploration society of London, the
Rosicrucian order has provided costumes and equipment of considerable
antiquity for the temple ceremony.
Accommodations for the American visitors have been arranged for in
monasteries in and near Karnak.
