'Assert Defendant O r d e r
Used Their Literature

Yogi Book Admitted to Be

Source of Materials

Mysteries and rituals of the local

Rosicruclana form tha basis of an
injunction suit, trial of which began
yesterday before Superior Judge
Sheldon. The Ancient and Mystical
Order of Rosas Crude, through its
chief executive, H. Spencer Lewis
seeks to have made perm anent an
order restraining E. EL Thomas and
others from using the plaintiff
order's rituals and membership list,
th e plaintiff asks $60,000 damages
The plaintiff complains that as
Master of the order. Thomas had
custody of secrete, literature and
membership lists, and that on May
$1, 1$», he deserted the parent
Order and set up a rival order, the
Universal Order of Ancient Mys­
teries. known for brevity as Uoam.
LIST DWINDLES
Lewis testified that Thomas cs*
tabitshed headquarters In the same
building as that used by the cult
Irom which he deserted, thet he ■

•elicited the plaintiff order's mem* Ramacharaka's book, “Hindu Yoel

beiship, and used Its insignia and
Iltera tuns.
He testified that his order's teach­
ings were prepared by editorial ex­
perts and translator*, th. v the so­
ciety spends between $4000 and $0000
jnontuy In advertising, and that
the national membership is be-
tatter 20,000 and 30,000. but that
the L >s Angeles contingent dwindled
tram 1000 to 100 after the rival oc­
tants ition started.
BOOR IN EVIDENCE
Attorney C. C. Kempley cross-ex­
amined Lewis, drawing from lrlm
that the lectures were In constant
revision. Over objections, the law­
yer Introduced In evidence Yogi
Science of Breath," which Lewis
identified as from the Amorc li­
brary. He admitted that materia!
from the Yogi's book had been
coaled In his own Arcane series
without credit and without quota­
tion marks.
Lewis testified that this literary
borrowing was explained to mem­
bers in letters sent to them alone,
but he admitted that the Yogi’s
book was not published by his order
and was not composed by him or
one of his followers.
The defendants are represented
by Attorney Welburn Mayock. The
hearing continues today.

Abrupt Action Proves to
•

Be Surprise in Contest of
Clashing Orders

With surprising abruptness the

court contest of two local Koai-
cruclan organizations was ended late
yesterday when the plaintiffs at­
torney moved for dismissal, Su­
perior Judge Sheldon granted the
dismissal, with costs on the plain-
tills, and dissolved the temporary
injunction ” hich the Ancient and
Myatical Order of Rotae Cruel* had
obtained against K. U. Thomaa and
other defendants affiliated with the
Universal Order of Ancient Mys-
taries. .rtAS:;.
The Ancient and . ...
known as Amorc, had gone Into
court seeking a permanent
tion and 950,000 damages,
that the defendant, abbre to
Uoam, following a schism led by
Thomas, had taken over the par­
ent order's rituals, lessons, member­
ship list*, and paraphernalia.
Late yesterday during croas-ax-
amination of Thomas by Attorney
Welbum Mayock of plaintiff coun­
sel, the lawyer asked for dUmUgal
of the ault, adding that ha did
so In order to file it again.
Attorney C. C. Kempley for
Thomas, asked to have tne tempo­
rary mjunctio., dissolved, and this,
too, was granted.

DEWITT MAN. IN DISCUSSION OF
ReeonrIllation between Science and
Religion, Drier* Into Rwlrurrlsr
Mntlrbm; Explains Mis Theories
Editor State Journal:
May 1 trespass upon the valuable
space ol your letter column to ex­
press my belief In * manner of recon­
ciliation between science and religion?
I read articles occasionally In your
paper by eminent men In both these
fields and they seem so far apart In
viewpoint as to have the reader and
layman s<ispended In doubt and hesi­
tancy-
Much of the discord we find in
society today, resulting In sects and
factions, is due to the evident conflict
between religion and science. There
has always been two theaters for
man's mental activity. At times these
various activities have been so far
apart as to be In absolute ronfllctlon
with rach other. At other times they
have been so closely associated as to
ovrrlap and be In harmony with each
other.
No matter how far we delve Into the
history of mankind, we find these two
theaters, religion and science. True,
ancient science cannot be placed Into
the same classification as the learned
and highly developed schools of sci­
ence we know today, but there were
men In the early civilizations who
were not so particularly Interested In
why It rained and why it snowed, but
what were the antecedent causes of
these conditions, what certain condi­
tions resulted In rain and In snow,
and they desired to chart, map out
the cycles of these causes, so as to be
able to determine Just when this phe­
nomena would take place. At the
same time, there were other think­
ers who looked upon this phenomena
as the result of an Intelligence, a
deity, a power greater than them-
selves which had. sometime or other,
proclaimed that this phenomena
should exist for m ans exclusive bene­
fit. They saw In It the direction of a
personalized God and at that point
we arrive at the conflictlon between
science and religion.
Science, however, represented by the
outstanding figures of today, does not
deny the existence of a God, but
mrely expounds a different conception
of Ood. Science recognises an intelli­
gence not apart from nature nor sep­
arate from nature, but existent In na­
ture. To science. Ood did not, some­
time In the far past, create the world
and everything that Is In It and then
cease, but He created then and is
still creating all that Is and all that
ever will be. To science there Is an
intelligence ever present underlying
everything.
There is only one thing that can
harmonise these two schools, religion
and science, and that Is mysticism.
Mysticism blends the two, the esoteric
and the exoteric, and as the Roslcru-
cian Brotherhood specifically states,
as an example of mysticism. It is
wrong for man to attempt to person­
alise his Ood. God Is an intelligence
that permeates matter aa well aa man.
In this sense It gives man a higher
consciousness, which may be in the
farm we know as Soul, but fan nature
God is evident In the uniform regu­
larity In which nature manifests, ac­
cording to certain definite established
laws. Roslcrurlan mysticism of Amore
recognizes no beginning and no end to
creation. It does not recognise a Ood
that would create all that Is and then
stop creating. It rather admits a cre­
ation that perpetuates Itself through
continually creating. Mysticism ex­
pounds God not apart from man. but
resident within man. A thorough
study of mysticism by any student,
whether of the Roalcruclan school or
not, permits him to blend the pristine
elements of religion with the virtues
of academic science. When this Is
done, these two great fields of man’s
endeavor can work hand In hand. In­
stead of opposing each other to the
detriment of both and to the confu­
sion of the mass.
I want to thank you kindly for the
space that you have permitted me to
use. and hope that other readers will
let us have their viewpoints and re­
actions on this popular subject.

SEEKS INFORMATION
Editor, Tribune:
May I be permitted to eak the
readers of The Bismarck Tribune
what any of your readers know of
the “Rosicuclan Order" located on
the Pacific coast? I understand' It Is
not a religious society; that u. non*
sectarian.
I would Indeed appreciate further
Information from the readers per*
talnlng to this organisation which
one hears of quite frequently referred
to by the name of Amorc. Is it a fra­
ternal order? ' 1 *"•
Yours Respectfully,
W. E. DOTY.
Editor s Note:
The encyclopedia Brlttanlca speaks
of Roslcruclanlsra as a 17th century
society which utilised the technicali­
ties of chemistry and the sciences m
a media for making known their
opinions on moral and religious mat­
ters. It was not really an organisa­
tion, having' had no officers, and
there Is no trace of them having held
meetings. Also there is no trace of
them exisitlng In modern times, ac­

Editor, Tribune:
This is In response to the inquiry
t nade by W. £. Doty in your "People’s
JPorum” of April 7th, expressing the
wish to know something more about
th a Rosi crucians and their present
<iay activities. I find, by making the
proper contact with the true Rosicru-
cian organization that the real his­
tory and purposes are entirely differ­
e n t fro m those commonly explained
by persons who have never made the !
contact except through carelessly
w ritten references concerning this an ­
cient organization. Much to my sur­
prise and pleasure, X find th at the
Hoslcruclans'do not deal with any of
th e ancient or modem superstitions,
such as fortune-telling, crystal-gaz­
ing and black-magic. Nor are the
Kosicrucians a religious cult, or a cult
Of any kind.
The organization first came to
America in 1594 and Ls the oldest bu-.
m anltarian, educational movement In
America, and in foreign lands It ls the
oldest form of advanced education
known to civilization. The organiza­
tion operates as a fraternal body con­
ducting a number of colleges, acade­
mies and schools in which various
courses dealing with the sciences and
fine arts axe taught without any fa­
naticism or sectarianism, politics, or
commercialism. .The strange word,
"AMORC.” referred to by your in­
quirer, is composed of merely the ini­
tials of the full name of the organiza­
tion, which is Ancient Mystical Order
Rosae Crucls. Roafcruclan Park, San
Jose, California, is wherfe the national
headquarters of North America is lo­
cated and throughout this continent
there are hundreds of branches and
many hundreds of branches in foreign
lands.

w ish to know som ething more about
t h e R osicruclans and th eir present

to ry a n d purposes are entirely differ­
e n t fro m those commonly explained
by persons who have never made the
c o n ta c t except through carelessly
w ritte n references concerning th is a n ­
c ie n t organization. Much to my su r­
prise an d pleasure, I find th a t th e
R oslcrueians' do not deal w ith any of
th e an c ien t o r m odem superstitions,
su ch as fortune-telling, crystal-gaz­
in g an d black-magic. Nor are th e
R osicruclans a religious cult, or a cult

I hare Just read a wonderful book.

-When the Sun Moves Northward,”
It Is a story of life overcoming the
inertia of matter, and bunting into
manifestation at the time of year we
call Easter. (The main property of
matter is Inertia—the opposite of
what life and evolution means'. The
whole of Christ's life is a drams of
how this comes to be. But most im­
portant to us is that this drama en­
acted by the w l»le. and repeated in
the life of our Elder Brother is the
story of what ts goiug on -within our
own selves with a final hope that
the spirit can overcome the inertia
of self and see the whole in perspec­
tive—that there is but one life and
we are more than brothers. All im ­
portant religions have taught this
whether pagan or Christian. The
Hindoos hare a story to the effect
that the fish swam everywhere ask­
ing where the water was that we
see no water. The Christian says.
I “In Him we lisa and move and have
our being ” Does praise to a higher
Source then look so foolish? Can
the hand be of service if it swears
no allegiance nor gives praise to the
body it serves and from which it
draws its Ufe?
May I ask thoee who would find
the answer to what Ufe may mean to
writ* the Rosicruclad Brotherhood.
San Jose. Calif., for their literature?
Here you will find how science and
religion may be friends. Among
the names of eminent men who have
been members or now are, are
Francis Bacon. Elbert Hubbard and
Albert Einstein;
The Theoaophlsta wUl find at the
head of this order one of the two
masters from whom Madame Blat-
vaaky obtained her instruction and
knowledge. Freemasonry has ac­
knowledged Us debt to the Ancient
Whit* Brotherhood by adding a
Roskvuctaa degree to the Ancient
and Accepted Scottish Rite ,

F-very day w* strive to know a
#little more than the day previous,

lost by forgetting, Yesterday we
received a letter from Hoyle
Thurston of Ban Jose, at the head
of the Roeierucian ‘'Order*’ of
North America. He tell* us th at
the society is an order and not a
cult; th at it had ita beginning in
Egypt 1.350 year* before the

Franklin was at one time the head
man of the order in America; th at
Thomas Jefferson and moat of the
signer* of the Declaration of In­
dependence were of the faith, and
that the very name. Philadelphia,
i* a Rosicrucian fabrication; that
it cost* but $5 to become a mem­

by thua hinting a t certain Inside
information, im portant if true. He
says *'We note, that |x» the past

Rosicrucian O fficial
Anstcers Criticism In
R eference to O rder
•Plainfield Courier*.
Plainfield, >1. J .
Attention: Editor.
Dear Sir:
On May 8. 1931, in your Public;
Forum column, there appeared a _
letter written by Dr. R. J . Sachers ;
giving his ideas and viewpoints of
the Rosicrucian work. While we
compliment Dr. Sachers on some of
the knowledge he has concerning
the Rosicrucians. at the same time
we must take exception to some of
his statements because thfy are un­
true.
We agree with him that the Rosi-
l crucian work is now on an ascend-
t ing cycle, which cycle began in 1909
and will continue for 108 years, j
ending in 2017. It is a cycle of out­
ward activity. Previous to 1909. i
starting with 1801 there was a cycle
of 108 years of silent activity in
which very few of the Rosicrucians
were ever mentioned. Between the
years of 1893 and 1801 was a cycle
of 108 years of outward activity,
and you can refer to any of the
public libraries, museums, or build­
ings in the city of Philadelphia for
facts showing that Kelplus, head­
ing a colony of Rosicrucians, land­
ed at what is now Philadelphia,
found a few Quakers there, settled
with them, helped build a colony,
and named the city Philadelphia,
after the lodge of Philadelphians in
England, who sponsored that col­
onization.
One of the buildings built by <
these Rosicrucians still stands in
Fainnount Park; it is used by the
keeper of the park as his home.:
Other buildings of the Rosicrucians
are still standing in Ephrata, Penn­
sylvania. Other evidences of the
outward work of the Rosicrucians
during the period of 1693 may be
found with a little investigation.
Furthermore, more than half of the
signers of the Declaration of Inde- j
pendence were members of the
Rosicrucian Order.
We take exception to the state-
ment made by Dr. Sachers that
there are no Rosicrucian books, no |
Rosicrucian Bureau of Inquiry or,
Bureau Of Facts, or even a Rosi-1
i crucian Park. Perhaps it is useless *
to invite Dr. Sachers to Investigate; j
bu* you as editor of* ih- paper, for)
j your own Information should write
to the San Jose “Mercury Herald"
or the San Jose “Evening News," j
the leading papers in this city and
ask the editors if they have heard
of Rosicrucian Park. They will tell
J you that it Is a large plot of ground
i located In the city upon which we
have erected several buildings, and
this place Is known as Rosicrucian
Park. We are the largest user of
mail In this city, handling over
200.000 pieces of mail per month. f
Dr Sachers* statement that there '
is no international body of Rosi-J
crucians is incorrect. »« there is I
such a body, and a meeting of that j
body will be held in the Fall of this
year in Europe. And whereas the
membership of the Rosicrucian
Order of the North American juris- I
diction now numbers between fifty '
and sixty thousand, it is safe to
say that the membership of the
Order in Europe, through the vari­
ous jurisdictions of France, Ger­
many. E n g l a n d , Scandinavian
cc untrles. and rpewhere. numbers
between^ive and six million.
The Courier-News 2
Plainfield, New Jersey
We could go on giving numerous
facts, but we do not wish to take
Friday, June 5,1931 too much of your time; or, if you
Page 9 care to print this, too much space. >
We are enclosing a booklet entitled.!
“News for Editors." giving somj
well-established, authentic ,facts.
We do not ask you to believe what
we say; we simply ask that you in­
vestigate and we feel confident that
you will be convinced. It is use­
less to talk unless one can back up
what he says with facts or informa­
tion that win enable another person
to prove these things for himself.
Hence, the enclosed book. Further­
more. there Is. undoubtedly, in your
library a book called, "Rosicrucian
Questions and Answers With Com­
plete History of the Order;" we
suggest that you read It; you will
find more information concerning
the Rosicrucians in that book than
you perhaps thought existed. Final­
ly. we will say that within your
own city of Plainfield there are
many members, and within the
Jitate of New Jersey there are sev-
eral thousand. If youTSKre to visit
the New York headquarters, you
witl find it located in the Roerich

like to have, to answer any ques-j

Copy Egyptian
Temple in U.S.
Shrine Draws Visitors
to Rosicrucian Park
in California
A temple without roof or walls Is
attracting thousands of visitors to the
Rosicrucian pnrk In San Jose, Calif.
The strangely constructed temple
Is an exact replica of the famous
temple of Karnair. built by the Egyp­
tians In the year 1350 B. C.
In every rietdll the original shrine
has been reconstructed: hieroglyph­
ics and complex decoration represent­
ing weeks of tedious carving and
painting have made the temple one
or the mast unusual buildings In the
United Slates.
The odd monument commemorates
the memory of the founders of the
Roslerucinn brotherhood, one of the
oldest organizations in the world.
Over 3.000 years ago. In a like temple,
these sages gathered to share their
wisdom with thase desiring counsel.
It was at tho time of the erection
of the temple of Knrnak, Egyptian
historians contend, that Amenhotep
IV founded the famous fraternity
whleh continues to disseminate Its
knowledge to this dny.
The Raslcruclan brotherhood,
known generally ns AMORC, has re-
ccntly completed the unique temple
as a part of the building program on
their grounds in California, their
North American headquarters. An
Egyptian auditorium, dedicated to
the memory of Sir Francis Bacon, nt
one time a Rosicrucian leader, also is
nearing completion In the Rosicru-
clan park.
Milwaukee has scvcrnl groups af­
filiated with Hie Rosicrucian fellow­
ship.

Revival of **,Sounds of the

”

Failure at Fresno
PRESNO, July 23. — Revival of
"sounds of the past” which might
(at some future time) include the
voice of Lincoln in his immortal
Gettysburg address, and the Savior
in the Sermon on the Mount,
through the use of a “gravatonic
ray machine** failed to materialise
here last night when a suspicious
member of the audience pulled an
electric switch and brought the
‘•sounds'* to a sudden end.
The “demonstration " which was
heralded to the membership of sev­
eral local lodges from which the au­
dience was recruited, was staged by
Dr. E. E. Thomas, head of our
brotherhood associations, 233 South
Broadway, Los Angeles, and Fred
Reed, who was introduced by Thom­
as as inventor of the machine.
The theory of the demonstration
as explained by Thomas closely
followed the fanciful prologue to
Will Rogers's “Connecticut Yankee**
movie, in which a machine brought
back sounds of centuries past.
The demonstration had Just start­
ed and Reed was “bringing back’*
sounds through a dishpan, when
James Nielsen, custodian of the
lodge hall, threw a switch to turn
off the lights in an adjoining room.
When be unlocked the door he found
a woman nonchalantly powdering
her nose beside a cumbersome look­
ing box or trunk, which apparent­
ly was the source of the “sounds
of the past.**
“Doctor" Thomas and “Profes­
sor” Reed did not stand upon cere­
mony when they were warned to
packed up and leave Fresno imme­
diately with jail as the ___
alternative.

Two Rosicrucian Officials
Plan To Examine Tomb Here
Will Seek Evidence That John O’Donnell, Buried In
Westminster Presbyterian Church Yard, Was
Founder Of Society In United States
Two official* of th e R osicrucian O r­
der. Carroll Gilbert, of A lenxandria, and
Mrs. M urray A. W alsh, of Detroit, w ill
come to Baltimore to d a y In an effort
to ascertain if Jo h n O 'D onnell’s tom b
in W estminster P resb y terian c h u rch ­
y ard yields any evidence th at he was u
m em ber of the o rd er and the first to
establish the society in this country.
Jo h n O'Donnell, w h o was an ances­
to r of Louis O'Donnell, of Ruxton, w as
captain on an East India m erchant­
man. He came to B altim ore in 1780, and
founded Canton, w h e re it is said he
planted "an orchard of great ex ten t of
red peaches for m aking peach brandy."
H ad L arg e F o rtu n e
According to a sk e tc h of him In an
old Baltimore new spaper at the tim e
of his death, O ctober S, 1805. a t the
age of 56. he possessed a large fortune,
had erected a n u m b er of houses in
Baltimore, was a colonel in the m ilitia
for several years a n d a delegate to
the M aryland State Legislature. As a
m em ber of the A ssem bly he had
pointed out the advantages he con­
ceived would accrue to the State from
rendering the S u sq uehanna "a safe
and public highw ay for commerce.”
John O Donnell, who was an elder
in the F irst Presbyterian Church,
bought a lo t in W estm inster C hurch­
yard in 1786. An old plat of the ch u rch ­
yard m ade in the same year and r e ­
cently discovered in an old chest under
the church, shows the loL
V is ito rs P e e r In to T om b
The new spaper account states th at
he "gave precise directions respecting
his fu n eral” ju st before his death. Yes­
terday, th ro u g h a sm all opening, a
num ber of persons, chiefly children
from a school nearby, peered into the
tomb th a t held his dust, w ith the
dust of fifteen other persons buried
there, and drew back a t the sight of
the crum bling caskets. On one of the
caskets w ere the initials J. O'D.
Mrs. O'D onnell at R uxton yesterday
said th at in addition to John O'Don-
nel, fo u n d er of Canton, his son. also
named Jo h n O'Donnell, was buried
in the tom b.
The ex te rio r of the tom b is Egyp­
tian in character, having above it the
outspread wings and hour glass. It
also is decorated with caryatids—one
male, one female—and w ith serpents.

A N C IE N T ORDER
The Rosicrucinns of '.his community
were represt nted by Miss M, Schultze of
840 Throckmorton avenue at the Inter­
national Rosicrucian Convention held
July 22 to 29, at San Jose, Fifteen
countries and three jurisdictions of the
Order were represented at this unique,
mystical conclave. There were in a t­
tendance, almost one thousand mem­
bers and delegates representing nearly
all p a rts of the world
Of outstanding importance in the
business features ol the annual con­
vention was the election of a new
G rand Council and Grand Master.
There were also dedicated two new'
structures at Rosicrucian Park, the Na­
tional headquarters of the organiza­
tion, in San Jose. First: The Sir
Francis Bacon Memorial Auditorium:
Sir Francis Bacon having been one of
the Supreme ritualistic officers of the
Rosicrucian Order in Europe. Second:
The other structure is perhaps one of
the most unusual of its kind in this
country. It is a replica of Karnae
Temple at Luxor. Egypt, erected to
commemorate the memory of Amen-
hotep the IV.. whom the Rosicrucians
consider one of the early traditional
founders of their organization. This
elaborate structure, although, of course,
smaller in size than the original is
quite complete in detail, consisting of
a highly ornamented Egyptian pylon,
with hieroglyphics and Egyptian char­
ters painted and inscribed thereon, and
an Egyptian colonnade, composed of
the usual lotus flower capitol columns,
typical ol' the structures of the Egyp­
tian Empire age.
The convention voted that th e next
annual session be held again a t the
National Headquarters of the Rosicruc-
lan Order tAMORCi in San Jose.

Rosicrucians
To Hear Talk
On Vibrations
At the meeting of the Roslcruclnn
•iwombly on Nagleo Avenue tomorrow
night, Dr. Lewis Is going to demon­
strate how the Invisible vibrations of
this universe affect our health, our
general habits of living and life Itself.
"I Intend to show that the sounds
of music produce color and produce
sympathetic effects upon the human
nervous system that are transmitted to
certain organs for certain parts of the
body with either favorable or unfavor­
able results,” soys Dr. Lewis. "The
Colors of tho clothing we wear or of
the decorations In our living rooms
and offices also affect ur. In a similar
manner, and these effpets ere easily
and quickly demonstrated In a scien­
tific monner as I will show during
the discourse.”
Dr. Lewis has had the laboratory of
the Roslcruclan College build for him
a special apparatus that amplifies the
vibrations of sound and color ,nnd he
will direct these In such n manner as
to produce sound effects easily dis­
tinguished by those in the audience.
The half hour of music will precede
the regular service on Sunday evening,
and the discourse and demonstrations
will be followed by the answering of
many questions dealing with the prac­
tical affairs of life. Every Sunday
evening the auditorium Is filled to
capacity with several hundred turned
away. These Sunday evening meet­
ings, beginning at 7 o’clock, are free
to everyone.

Of Thoughts
Last Sunday evening over ti thou­
sand persons tried to get Into the
largo auditorium of the Hoslcvurlan
public assembly on Nnglco Avenuo to
witness the demonstrations and hear
the lecture oil the subject of “How
Vibrations Affect Us,” Several hun­
dred were turned away while hundreds
of others stood throughout the entire
meeting.
At tho request of many who were
present. Dr, Lewis will speak tomor­
row night oh "How Thoughts Affect
Us" and will give further demonstra­
tions of tho principles Involved,
"It Is not only true that thoughts
of anger, envy, and liaLred affect us
Inwardly and havo a considerable
bearing upon our health but thoughts
of various kinds, Including those that
arc of the naturo of despondency,
pessimism and anxiety, affect our
health and our own welfare In a
material sense,” says Dr, Lewis. "Un­
kind thoughts regarding another per­
son or group of persons, held In our
minds for Just a few seconds arc very
apt to havo a retroactive effect upon
us as well as causing a depressed
feeling upon those wo have In mind.
It 13 ncccssavy for us to guard our
thoughts very carefully,”
During tho demonstrations for the
evening, Dr. Lewis will show that
thoughts are real, tangible things and
that they can emanate and radiate
Into space and affect others around
us and even affect Inanimate things.
Before tho discourse and demon­
strations there will bo tho usual half
hour of music and the discourse will
be followed by the answering of ques­
tions dealing with practical affairs of
life.

Will Hear Dr.
Lewis Sunday
At the Roslcruolan Auditorium on
Nagleo Avenue tomorrow night, Dr.
H. spencer Lewis Is going to outline
the secret teachings of Jesus.
"There aro many pnssnges In the
New Testament which reveal th at
Jesus Used parnblcs and allegories for
His public Instructions which were
different from those th at Ho used In
private, and there arc a number of In­
timations th a t Jesus held secret meet­
ings with his Disciples," says Dr.
Lewis. "These teachings have not been
lost to the world, but are greatly veiled
and hidden In the Christian 131blo and
In the sacred writings where we can
find them today."
Dr. Lewis will take these secret
teacliJngs and analyze them nhd show
their relation to many of the present-
day Christian doctrines and to many
of the miracles which Jesus performed
during his lifetime. Some of those
secret doctrines make plain the mys­
tery of the ^resurrection and the as­
cension, and also reveal why Jesus was
able to heal tho sick and raise the
dead. #
Before the discourse of the evening
there will bo a half-hour of special
music and the discourse will be fol­
lowed by tho answering of a number
of practical questions.

Utah followers of the a rd e n t Ho-

the vernal equinox, anciently cele­
brated at the beginning of the new
year, will commemorate the occasion

lamation of the day from the Grand
Lodge of the North American Juris­

“The symbolical feast is represent­

juice, the form of foods represent­
ing the assimilation into the body of
the necessary elements for existence.
A unique feature of the ritual Is the
period of meditation following the

How much have you used your
subjective partner? There are
TWO of you—one the PHYSIC­
AL, material side—the other, the
INNER, PSYCHIC SELF. If you
are one of the thousands who
are searching for a way and a

why not release that great force
within, use that dormant self?
The Rosicrucian Brotherhood,
a w o r l d-wide movement, has
taught thousands of men and
women how to use the simple,
dignified occult principles in de­
veloping their latent powers. A
few minutes a day devoted to
the reading of these principles

YOU. If you are sincere in your
desire to MASTER LIFE, this is
the key.
