NEW YORK, Aug. 25.- Concealing his identity for the present, a wealthy
resident of New York has just volunteered to supply several thousand of
dollars for the purpose of leasing and equipping adequate quarters, including
a lecture room and library and complete laboratory, to be used by the New
York Institute for Physical Research. This statement is made by H. Spencer
Lewis, of 252 West I48th street, assistant editor of a magazine called Modern
Miracles, and an instructor in the Metropolitan Institute of Science.
"Our purpose," said Mr. Lewis, "is to submit all phenomena o f a so-called
supernatural order to the closest scientific scrutiny. We hope to develop
among our members some who will be capable o f hypnotic power and through
them to study and test every phase o f that subject. We shall invite spiritualist
'mediums' to give evidences o f the power they claim in our lecture hall and
under conditions which will eliminate entirely the possibility o f fraud.
Thorough scientific investigation o f psychical matters is our only aim. We do
not propose to endorse or advertise anybody."

The year 1906 was one of the most successful for the advancement of
psychical research and study, more wonderful discoveries, revelations and
conclusions having been effected in this one year than have been recorded in
the annals of this science since the first "spirit-raps" were heard in this
country in 1848.
In response to the request from the Sunday World for an account of the
most remarkable psychic exhibition of the year, I will describe the
demonstration before the society by a young American Indian, who claimed
that in a trance he could communicate with the spirit of an Indian chief, and
also with the Great Spirit, and that this spirit would describe through him
the homes of those gathered in the room.
The medium did describe, accurately and in detail, the rooms o f six of those
present, one room being in England.
He also describe the appearance of a gentleman whom he had never seen,
and told where he was at the moment o f recital, which facts were afterward
verified to the minutest detail.
In this demonstration it was not possible for the medium to ever have seen
the rooms he described, and therefore there could have been no fraud.
This leaves but two explanations - that o f telepathy and that o f actual spirit
communication. O f course, those present knew their rooms, and telepathy was
possible, for the medium could have received, telepathically, the descriptions
of the rooms from the person present.
But granting this, we find that telepathy could not explain the method
whereby the medium described the room in which the gentleman before
mentioned was spending the evening, nor could it explain how the medium
was enabled to telt us just what this gentleman was doing for no one present
knew where the gentleman was, and certainly no one knew exactly what he
and the others with him might be doing. The medium was a stranger to all
present, and there could have been no collusion.
If telepathy can explain this demonstration then we must admit that
telepathy between strangers at a distance at any time and under any
conditions is possible. This is extending the limitations of telepathy to an
extreme, but even so, it may be the real hypothesis. This demonstration on the
whole was the most remarkable, o f its class, ever recorded by our society, or
perhaps by any other body of investigators.

Antedates Christ
Rosaea Crucis means rosy cross. The cross used by the Rosicrucians as a
symbol antedates Christ by 1,700 years, they claim. Where the arms of the cross
meet in the Rosicrucian symbol appears a half unfolded red rose. The symbol
signifies that through the cross the members of the order unfold as does the rose.
The family of Thotmis IV, founded the order and built the temple of Kamak
and other temples, and were instrumental in having stored in the pyramids and
other safe places the emblems and signs o f material sciences and
accomplishments. Realizing that some day knowledge might be wiped out, the
family of Thotmis decided to store in the pyramids philosophies and secrets
which could not be transcribed or otherwise indicated to perpetuate them for
"time eternal." Astrology, the Rosicrucians claim, was thus handed down
through the ages, finally becoming the science of astronomy.
The order is fraternal, like the Masons, which the Rosicrucians claim, sprang
from the order of Rosaea Crucis, the seventeenth degree of Masonry, it is
claimed being an admission of its debt tothe Rosicrucians. Outgrowths of the
Rosaea Crucis, it is stated, are the Knights of die Rosy Cross in England and the
Societe Rosicruciana in France.
Rosicrucians in the United States have been toying for half a century to obtain
the right to establish a lodge here, according to H. Spencer Lewis, American
foundation president, of 130 Post Avenue, who is also president of the New
York Institute of Psychical Research.
Age, over twenty-one years, belief in a Supreme Deity, good moral character
and habits, and belief in the philosophy of the Rosicrucians. No one can become
a member until he is invited, but one may apply for this privilege. The minute
one becomes a member he or she realizes what a wonderful thing the Rosaea
Crucis is, Mr. Lewis explained.
"When the initiates on entrance to the order pass through the threshold," he
said, "they have a most wonderful revelation of what can be done in the science
of spiritual and material things. They get their first convincing evidence o f the
Rosicrucian control of great natural phenomena.
"They must take an oath to hold sacred above all other tilings the innermost
secrets and teachings of the order. They pledge themselves to accomplish at
least one thing for the betterment of mankind before they die. It is a matter of
mortal life and immortal life for them to reveal secrets. To break the pledge of
the order invites all the disaster of life and condemns the soul and innermost
man to all punishment hereafter."
No Oaths in Court.
The Rosicrucians never take an oath in court. They make the sign of the
cross. They don't believe in heaven or hell, as "Billy" Sunday expounds it. They
believe with certain modifications in the theory of reincarnation. They have a
marriage ceremony which is performed previous to the civil ceremony, a
christening and funeral service of their own, said to be very impressive and
beautiful.
The lodges hold monthly meetings at which the officers wear robes. The
dues are nominal, the "great expenses of the order being furnished in an
unknown and unusual manner." The question of finances never gives the lodges
any concern, Mr. Lewis said. There are not sick benefits or insurance, but the
members see to it that no one of their fellows is ever in want.
"Any one who doubts that Rosicruciana is not well founded," said Mr. Lewis
in conclusion, "should go up to the Astor Library, there are thirty books on the
subject there and a catalogue of some 360 books published in nine languages.
There are also more than 300 manuscripts in the public libraries. There are
between 5,000,000 and 6,000,000 members of the order."
The first public announcement of the plans for the American Order appeared
The Globe of February 24th 1915, exclusively by special arrangements.
The Globe was a newspaper published in New York City.

THE Ancient and Mystical Order Rosae Crucis has come to America. It Is the
most ancient and most mystical o f all orders; so ancient that the encyclopedists
have never been able to trace its origin, and so mystical that even the mystics o f
other cults have never been able to divine its meaning. Every one has heard o f
Rosaecrucianism. Few have any conception o f what it stands for. Lexicon makers
have disputed about the spelling o f the word. But now the thing itself,
Roseacrucianism, is here. And it is here to direct the course o f America during the
next five wonderful years; to point out the course written in the stars in the dawn o f
civilization and interpreted by the Wise Men o f the East years before their
successors followed the Star to Bethlehem.
THERE was no air o f mysticism about the rooms at No. 80 Fifth Avenue, where
I talked with the young Grand Master General o f the long-looked-for American
Grand Lodge. But the story he unfolded was one that brought the hearer back to
the earliest councils of the Egyptian pharaohs, and threw about our whole modem
civilization the glamour o f the cryptic past.
H. Spencer Lewis is the American Grand Master General, or Imperator. He
received his commission eight years ago from the Supreme Council o f the World,
through the Grand Lodge of France, to establish the order in America. This
Supreme Council is the great autocratic authority of Rosaecrucianism. Its very
membership is secret and it enforces its dicta in ways that mystify even the
Illuminati. With his commission Mr. Lewis received orders not to begin the work
until 1916. He was then only twenty-five years old, but had already become one of
the Twelfth Degree Illuminati in Toulouse. His previous life had been a
preparation for this commission. He is known as a student of psychical research
a map of the world showing the Roseacrucian symbols of an eagle, a pyramid and
a black bird (the "vulture") covering the area of the United States. "This map," he
said, "was taken from the pyramid of Cheops and from the oldest Rosaecrucian
tablets. The eagle and the pyramid were adopted in due time by the new
government at Washington as emblems of the American Republic. Thousands of
your readers will understand the significance of the vulture."
According to Mr. Lewis, Rosaecrucianism has had a continuous history from the
day of its birth. And there is no reason, he says, why this outward history should be
withheld from the world. The Supreme Council has permitted him to publish the
chronicle and it will appear in the near future. In this history he states that
Freemasonry is only an off shoot of Rosaecrucianism, resulting from a visit of an
earnest young seeker after truth named Saloman, or Solomon, to the Masters in
Egypt 2,000 years ago.
No one knows how many members of the order are in America today. About two
hundred and fifty have been permitted to "cross the threshold" since Mr. Lewis
received his commission; but aside from these there is a small army o f initiates
especially prepared for the great work of the next few years in the European and
Oriental lodges. So far they do not know each other, and they do not know what
particular work will be assigned to them. But they are waiting for orders from the
Supreme Council of the World and all are confident that the destiny o f America is
wrapped up with the Rose and Cross. With Mr. Lewis's commission as Grand
Master General came official seals and symbols o f authority. Then, through
devious sources, which he says were unknown even to the Grand Master, came
some treasured jewels of the order. Most treasured o f all was the original
SCARAB of Thutmose III, used by the ancient founder to impress his cartouche
upon his royal decrees. This cartouche was adopted as the first seal o f the order
and the SCARAB was used for hundreds of years in Egypt by the Supreme
Masters who succeeded him. The obelisk in Central Park bears this cartouche of
Thutmose. The presence of the original Scarab in the hands of the Master o f the
New World is taken to symbolize the passing of the founder's spirit from Egypt to
America.
ROSAECRUCIANS have been anticipating the great change in America for
centuries," said Royle Thurston, summarizing the forecast for the American Rosae
Crucis, official magazine of the Order, published at No. 80 Fifth Avenue. "It was
decreed that beginning with the year 1916 these States should come under the
Uranian influence of the Spirit. Gradually the change has occurred and more
visible becomes the influence in all the affairs o f life. "We find Thursday
becoming the day of choice, subconsciously, for the starting and accomplishing of
important things. In even minute matters we find the number 7 figuring
conspicuously. We find the CROSS in various forms being adopted in place of
more decorative or more representative symbols. We note that the mind of the
nation inquiries rather o f the Laws and Causes o f things than o f results. We see the
desire for peace and harmony supplanting the 'glories' o f war and strife. The inner
desire for religious study, for attunement with the Infinite and a more intimate
acquaintance with God and the Divine Laws o f Love, Peace, Power and
Knowledge is more manifest than ever before.
WHAT ROSAECRUCIANISM IS
By a Rosaecrucian.
ROSAECRUCIANISM is the Alpha and Omega of all learning, a philosophy, a
science, an art and a secret - all of these, inseparable and one.
It teaches the world's most profound secrets. It explains life and its phenomena; it
makes plain biology and ontology; it reveals life and death in a different light than
that generally understood. It deals as comprehensively with cosmogony, astrology
(the original science of astronomy as first taught by Rosaecrucians) and geology as
with metallurgy, medicine, art and philosophy.
It reveals the life we have lived and the life we shall live as plainly as the life we
are living. It takes from science in all its branches the great mysteries which have
defied solution by the lay mind and the uninitiated.
It makes of all members real brothers and sisters; it makes the humble mechanic
or artisan in America the equal, the peer, of the most powerful ruler in Europe, not
by humiliation, but by the true law of equality.

and Mr. Callahan, who once explored an Egyptian tomb with me, went along.
T w o glad hands were extended to us.
"W ill you be good enough, Mr. Lewis," I asked, "to tell us just how you do the
alchemy stunt by which you transmute odds and ends into gold?"
"Stunt is good," replied the Imperator. "N o w , to begin remember w e may be nuts
or bugs, but w e don't pretend to have wings growing on our shoulders. On the
night o f our convocation, which was attended by Torch-bearer and the Vestal
Virgin, the twelve other officers and others o f the advanced order to the number o f
thirty seven, 1 delivered an address saying that for the first time in America I would
demonstrate the secret process o f transmutation.
"For hundreds o f years the Elder Brothers o f our order in Egypt worked at their
crucibles and wrestled with the problems o f alchemy in an attempt to apply the
fundamental laws o f our philosophy and science. A t last they succeeded in
transmutation on the material plane. The members o f the Fourth Degree being the
most advanced, I felt the call to make the demonstration for the first time in this
country.
"1 had directed each o f fifteen members to bring a certain ingredient, and I may
say that these ingredients were such as might be found in any kitchen - say,
saleratus, ginger, etc., but these were not among them. Salt was one. A rose in full
bloom was another, although you would not pick a rose in a kitchen.
"Then w e had a bottle full o f distilled water and a cube o f zinc. As accessories,
we were provided with a crucible, fire and a pair o f pinchers - all the necessary
outfit.
"W ell, when everything was ready 1 asked the fifteen brothers and sisters to come
forward with their offerings. N o one knew what the others had. The various
ingredients were plated in the crucible with the lump o f zinc, which had been
tested with nitric acid and carefully weighted. This I stirred with my fingers for
several minutes and I might add that I scorched my fingers in the process. At the
proper moment 1 stopped stirring, and with a pair o f pincers took from the crucible
a bit of ye llo w metal - the transmuted metal which stood the acid test and was
found to be a trifle heavier than the zinc. Every one present saw it. 1 might add that
there is no money in making gold that way. You get only a little bit for
all your pains."
"Gold transmuted
from other
a reply, "is the purest o f gold. N o w about the order. It was established way back in
the dynasty o f Thutmose III, who was the husband o f Isis. The obelisk in Central
Park, one o f the two erected in Egypt by Thutmose III, and intended to stand some
day in 'the country where the eagle spreads its wings, bears the cartouche or seal o f
the order as well as many other authentic and Rosaecrucian signs.
I told Lewis that, while I was not familiar with all the symbols and cartoons on
the obelisk, his word that they were there was good enough for me.
"When I went to Toulouse, France, in 1909 to secure permission to found the
order in this country, I was informed that it soul be not until 1915, and so I waited
and studied and fitted m y self for the work, and on April 1, 1915, the charter was
drawn up and signed, and the order took its place in the country where the
eagle spreads its wings."
A t my suggestion w e were permitted to enter the temple proper, which is the
third room back on the parlor floor The room was heavily curtained. The crucible
stands in front o f the Imperator's desk. A n electric bulb is inside the bowl, and
when the current is turned on lights o f several colors show. The crucible has a
circular pan around its edge.
This was filled with what looked like powdered dried leaves.
Kiimalehto stepped into a closet, and, returning with a bottle, pour some o f its
contents into the pan and touched a match to it. Immediately the temple was
filled with an odor like a combination o f cayenne pepper, myrrh, sweet marjoram,
terebinth and other things.
The thick smoke rose from the pan, spread out over our heads and formed in a
thin cloud which floated to the ceiling and dispelled some o f the darkness.
There was then disclosed the presence o f a very tall and straight figure, garbed
from neck to heels in a bright red garment and topped with a turban. He stood at
the curtained window before an electrician's desk.
'M a y 1 ask what you are doing " 1 inquired, and the figure turned and looked at
me through big. round glasses
I asked his name and he said he was Harry Koenig, a theatrical electrician. He
used to work at Cohan's Theatre and also at the Winter Garden, but was out of
a jo b at present.
W hile he was telling me these things the faint click o f the instrument could be
heard.
"W e do not do any sending here," said Koenig, "but we cut in and pick up bits o f
news. It is rather dull to-day."
W hile Roth and Callahan were breathing the fumes o f the burning incense at the
other end o f the room I slipped the wireless receivers over my ears. Koenig
was right. It was a dull day.
The instrument was not adjusted properly, so student K o en ig turned a
thumbscrew on a keyboard arrangement and, what to my untrained ears, sounded
like a High School o f Commerce boy communicating a baseball result to a friend
in a Manual Training, clicked down the wire
K oen ig was not the only student at his task. There is an average o f dozen men
and women - at work. It isn't absolutely necessary that they all wear robes, but
most o f them do. The different degrees have different robes - some red and others
blue or white.
The chemical laboratory is just back o f the temple, in what used to be the butler's
pantry before the Imperator moved in. The vibration and philosophy departments
are in another part o f the building.
Getting back to that yellow bil o f metal that the Imperator said he had
transmuted, it can be said with authority that all suggestions that it might be sent to
the laboratory o f Columbia University for examination or assayed will be turned
down The metal will be kept in the Eighty seventh Street Temple as a prized jew el
o f the order.
The Imperator will not again give a demonstration o f transmutation. Following
the long established custom, the fifteen members who delivered the raw material to
him are to keep their individual shares o f the secret. N o one individual knows the
mixture, but collectively they own the formula. In the event o f the passing o f the
Imperator the fifteen may come together three years thereafter and repeat the
ceremony.
Probably the next function o f real importance in the temple will be the
christening o f little Earle Cromwell Lewis. The date o f this ceremony has not been
fixed, but the Grand Lodge will be present. Earle Cromwell is the youngest o f the
Imperator's three children.

best argument in favor of the Baconian
authorship of Shakespeares writings lies
in the suggestion that Bacon's promin
ence forbade his publicly fathering tbe
works that would mark him as an enemy
to the political s y s t e m s of the times, so
that be foisted them on an obscure player,
just as in his Rosicrucian membership he
exchanged opinions with others of the

Using Hester School as an example,
the spirit of appreciation of schools
and their advantages, which has made
California an outstanding Stale In
the educational world, is the subject
of the leading article published In the
current number of The Mystic T ri
angle. official organ of the Roslcruclan order.
T he article, entitled The Im perator's Monthly Message," w ritten by
Dr. H. Spencer Lewis, Imperator of
the order, describes the custom m ain
tained a t Hester School of keeping
fresh flowers in a vase under the
picture of M. R. Tracc, 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.
PRAISES SPIRIT
I t Is th e spirit of California th a t
creates this attitude of mind, and
when created In tho lives of children
It will last thew hole Life through,"
Dr. Lewis writes.
Another article in the same m aga
zine discusses the widespread unfav
orable publicity which the Santa
Clara Valley received In connection
with tho flood Ir. the Banta Clara
River Basin Valley In Southern Cali
fornia.
Tha Mystic Triangle" is widely
circulated among members of tho
Rosicruclun order who are scattered
throughout the United States. Pub
lication in the magazine of the true
facts in th e case will be of value In
correcting the wrong Impression given
by misleading Southern California
publicity, it is pointed out today by
the local Chamber of Commerce,

member of Lewis' organization, and who, when the financial affairs of the
so-called order were somewhat strained, declares that she handed over a hundreddollar bill, subsequently receiving one of the 6 per cent gold bonds of the Ancient
Mystic Order of Rosae Crucis.
Miss Meeker explained yesterday that her contribution had been given without
solicitation in October of 1916, that she received the bond with a receipt for the
money paid, and that she had also received $6 interest. She admitted, however, that
after attending several meetings of the organization she felt compelled to withdraw
as a member.
From his home in Flushing last night Lewis told a reporter for THE SUN that at
no time had his organization - the Ancient and Mystical Order of the Rosae Crucis
- ever claimed to be operating as a branch of the Rosae Crucis organization in
France. "We have never claimed to hold any warrant, charter, patent or authority
from any foreign country," he said over the telephone.
he was given several honors and titles by the French R.C. order, by agreement with
the supreme council in France and Egypt the permission, long sought by scientists
and earnest philosophical students was given unto our Master to establish the R. C.
Order in America in the year 1915."
When he was arraigned in court yesterday Mark Ellison, counsel for Lewis,
declared that the District Attorney had produced no proof to show that Lewis ever
received a dollar in cash for the bonds he is alleged to have sold.

held in the temple to America.
"Since then," glowingly reports Founder Lewis, "the order has grown amazingly.
There are now associated with us hundred of merchants, land owners, newspaper

notoriety as being lodges, &c., of the Rosaecrucians were asked to give an account

officially the great secret order. One of these was Max Heindel, a writer on mystic
subjects. He explained that he had, indeed, founded the "Rosicrucian Fellowship,"
but it made no pretension to temporal power. Mrs. Marie Russak also explained the
meaning and powers of her "Temple of the Rosy Cross."
With the Rosicrucian factory of Dr. Clymer, at Allentown, Pa., the American
authorized society had more trouble. From this printing centre books went forth
broadcast, among them one called "A Secret Book Giving the First Forty-nine
Degrees of the Illuminati of the Rosicrucian Order." This book sold for $10. But
any connection between Dr. Clymer and the true Rosaecrucians was finally
disproved.
What is a Rosaecrucian? Here is Dr. Lewis's answer:
"A Rosaecrucian is one who lives a life of attainment, determined that before he
completes this cycle or period of earthly existence he shall have accomplished
through personal endeavor some deed of goodness for the betterment o f the human
race.
"The Rosaecrucians have nothing to do with any other religion, including the
Christian religion. They created the symbol of the cross, they say, and the
Christians adopted it. They do not teach spiritualism nor mediumship.
Rosaecrucianism has nothing to do with Yogi or other philosophy. It sells no books
or degrees purporting to contain secrets of initiation. It has regular lodges or
temples in various cities, each with its master officer and under officials: It has
also its grand lodges, and its supreme lodge is in this city. The work of the
American branch is outlined by the supreme council of the world and is secret. The
funds are collected by regular contributions."
The Rosaecrucians lodge of New York city has apparently judged it wise to use
another name than its famous one; it functions as a society for educational
purposes as the Metropolitan College, Incorporated. The president of this college
was formerly a Jesuit priest and it has a large society of adepts and initiates and
probationers, with branches and connections in other cities.
walked two men, one bearing a bowl o f sacrificial blood and the other a skull.
These were also illuminated by electricity.
"When the procession had paused near the top of the room we, the candidates,
went blindfolded and led before them Then oaths were administered to us. I wish I
could remember how these were phrased but I do not. They were long and we were
asked to repeat them in sections, and all I recollect is that the oaths were very
weird and wild. The principal oath was coached in quaint language, which we were
told came down from the fourteenth century. The last oath of the series was that we
would never reveal the secrets of the order or exhibit to an outsider any of the
literature of the Rosicrucians.
"The folds were then removed from our eyes and we were given seats in a circle
while initiates gave exhibitions of magic to prove what powers can be gained by a
diligent student.
"Throughout this exhibition the auditorium remained dimly lighted, but the altar
with the cross and rose shone brilliantly.
"In the circle in which I sat to witness whatever marvels might be vouchsafed
there were, I think, about twenty-four persons, new members and we three
candidates. In our midst stood an initiate of Tibet with his feet resting on the bare
floor. We could see him dimly and he gradually faded from view as if he sank into
the floor. As soon as he had completely disappeared from our circle his voice was
heard from the altar, and turning our eyes there we saw him standing in front o f the
cross.
"This seemed wonderful but it did not content the male seeker, who asked for
further miracles, and his request was echoed by several voices. The initiate agreed
to produce a dozen fresh roses with the dew on them and cause them to fall from
the air in our midst. Apparently he did this. The roses fell one by one in the midst
of the circle, each one wet with dew as if freshly plucked. The season was winter
and the initiate stood far removed from us, near the altar. Following this
demonstration nothing further in the way of magic was done, and to repeated
requests for more the adepts frankly said they were exhausted.
etymology is derived from ros (dew) and rosa (rose). Dew was considered by the
ancients as the most powerful solvent of gold and the cross in alchemy is the
synonym of light. In 1638 a bit of doggerel fixed its mission thus:
Some of the ancient books of the society may be seen, according to a statement
made by the head of the order here, in our public library, "but only in a private
place, where by special privilege I may show them for the edification o f true
adepts. These books are rudely bound, printed on papyrus and leather; some o f the
leaves are crumbling from veiy age."
More modern writings are titled like the following: "Astrological Letters."
"Death and the Life In Purgatory," "Life and Activity in Heaven," "Birth, a
Fourfold Event," "Astronomical Allegories of the Bible," &c.
These books and others like "Continuity or Life, a Cosmic Truth." by Prof. W. L
Lockwood, "Beyond the Borderline of Life," by Gustavus Myers, may be had by
addressing the publishers and booksellers to the S. R. I. A., who are at 45 John
street, New York, but other books intended for students and postulates are given
out mysteriously at the "college," and all are warned not to permit an outsider to
see them To do so is to commit a crime by making the Rosicrucian secrets
common.
The Mercury is the official organ of "Metropolitan College" and is issued
semimonthly. It gives the calendar for the month, a biography of some illustrious
initiate and other innocuous matter. A book o f "Principles and Practice for
Rosicrucians" is issued for neophytes. It was written for the fraternity by "Khei."
Another book cherished by seekers Is "The Landmarks o f the Most Holy Order of
the Golden and Rosy Cross, and the Constitution o f the Societas Rosicruciana in
America: to which are appended the By-Laws o f Metropolitan College, S. R.I.A."

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 die organization as a whole.
To arouse the just indignity of Tampas 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.
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 I 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
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 bodys 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 recent literature and see
what it claims in unmistakable language.
WHAT IT TEACHES
Let us turn now to another book, the official text-book of this Rosicrucian
society, sold by mail to anyone and purchasable in bookstores a state of
affairs that is inconsistent with the traditions of 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 of Fundamentals we find again and again the
statement made that Freemasonry of today in America and England is not only
associated with Rosicrucianism, but even more than this. For instance, in the
XIII Chapter of this official textbook, whose author is given as Khei, the head
of 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 of 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 of the Masonic symbolism of the
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 of 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 of using here and which
could never enter a lecture or discussion connected with real Rosicrucianism.
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 of 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 unnecessaryand 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 of
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 waynor are its Supreme Officerswith
any other philosophical, scientific or occult organization in America."
There is nothing indefinite or misleading about that statement.
The first newspaper articlessome covering a whole page, such as that in
the New York World Magazine Section for March, 26th, 1916 announcing the
establishment of the Order in America, distinctly state that the AMORC was
being sponsored solely by Rosicrucian bodies or authorities of Europe and
mentions no connection with any other society.
When the time came to prepare a new national propaganda booklet because
of 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 of copies distributed in every state of the United States and in all
parts of 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 MASONIC CONNECTION
"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 of the other movements in
Europe and America," etc. Throughout the book the statement is emphasized
that AMORC is independent of 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 literaiy
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 of making it a pure
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.
Constitution when each of 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 of Rosicrucians throughout the world. It
is the only Rosicrucian body in America having received authority, power,
rights and assistance from a competent body of Rosicrucians of the ancient
lineage and through the See of Toulouse, the recognized and traditional
International seat of true Rosicrucianism for many centuries.
Likewise the AMORC in America, as in dozens of foreign lands, is die 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 of
Count de Bellecastle-Ligne as Hierophant of 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 of
us at headquarters has labored often at great sacrifice, to maintain the
independence of Rosicrucianism and at the same time the good wishes of every
other organization acting fairly and in accordance with facts.
* * *
There are many hundreds of reputable citizens in this district who are only
too happy to vouch for the cleanness and fairness of the activities of AMORC,
but just as the AMORC protected the Rosicrucian Symbols as the AMORC
name with the only Registration of 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 of the Order is
Soli Deo Gloria!

MAILING DErAUTMENT
|
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 orders pub
lications.
We send out In the neighborhood
of 100.000 plcces of mall a month,"
Dr. Lewis declared. With every piece
of mall goes a circular advertising the
beauties and advantages of San Jose.
We are hero to do what we can 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 costsf m m $100
to $150 per day, on the average. In
Florida, wc maintained one branch
postoffice by our stamp sales alone
We didn't get our mall deliveredIt
was so large thnt wo always called
for I t And- tne Doom corfSfJSIfl, W in
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
number of pieces stamped. At the
I end of the month we pa:* th postorficc department what the meter
reading indicates. Most of our mall
leaves here bundled and sacked, ready
to go on the mall trains,
i it Is our Intention to do all our
business In San Jose, so far as pos
sible. Already we are keeping two local 'printing houses supplle- with our
work. Wc shall try to employ local
people, so far as possible.

H r o . A. REAVER
The very wide and Incrraslng Inter
est In the subject o f ftaslcrucianism
at the present time Indicates a nat
ural revlvnl of one of the earliest
forma of philosophical and scientific
knowledge systematized in America.
In fact. It may be c&ld that Roslcruclanlsm and the Roslcruclan princi
ples were closely allied with the foun
dation ol 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 nnd Wash
ington.
Ever since the first Rosicrucians
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 Rosi
crucians have been Instrumental in
advancing the fine arts, the sciences
and the religious activities of many
organizations.
"V IA ROSAE CRUCIS
Just aa "via crucis was the cry In
tho crusades of the middle ages, so
has tha cry via Rosae Crucis" been i
the cry of countless thousands for
many centuries In tho 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 alnglo red rose In Its center,
tho symbol of Rosicrucians, or fra
ternity of the red rose and golden
crossl Mystical though the name and
symbol appear, the organization In all
ages and all climes has been one of
practical effort and distinct efficiency
In meeting the material problems o f
life. Roslcruclanlsm Is not tho doctrine
o f a cult, nor the philosophy of a
school of esthetics.
O R IG IN IN A N T IQ U IT Y
W ith its origin lost In antiquity wc
can find references to it In the sane
and rational writings of the earliest
dentists. Among Its first advocates
In the Orient wc 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.
Xt is true that In the middle ages
man:* of its most learned apologists
weer alchemists and wrote much about
their "a rt of transmutation" but their
work with crucibles and fire was not
always for tho purpose of proving na
ture's processes of purifying the dross
Into the refined gold; It was tho
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 M O R A L FRECEPTS
Wherever and whenever the brothers
o f the rosy cross wore 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 Bulwer Lytion, who
said In his Roslcruclan story called
Zanonl, that It was "an august fra*
ternlty most Jealous 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 Into natural
sciences and occult philosophy, and
no monastic order Is so severe In the
practice of moral precepts."
PRACTICES I1U M AN ITARIANISM
Known throughout the world as
tho Ancient, Mystical Order Rosae
Crucis, or by Its abbreviated name In
every land, Amorc the organization
numbers among Its present adherents
nnd followers the most learned of men
and women and those most devoted to
good citizenship, Christian living and
charitable thinking. From the highest
offices In governments In all countries
to tho quiet and undisclosed efforts
of those who have retired from tho
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 Telel-Amnrna, from which must light has
been thrown upon the history of scicnce and civilization; other funds are
sent to branches In Copenhagen. Ver
dun, Berlin. London and Rome for the
cars at war orphans; while through
the agency of specialized workers
clinics are maintained in many cities
fo r the care of tho 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 Roslcruclan
manifesto to thla effect issued by Ben
jamin Franklin, who was an officer of
the early foundation In Philadelphia,
ROOSEVCLT WAS MLMBBIt
Through Its teachings, men and
women are helped in their prolesslons
and arts. Its chief officer. Dr. H.
Spencer Lewis, la one of the directors
of the American Foundation ol Fine
Arts as planned by the late Theodore
Roosevelt and Mmc. Lillian Nordica.
Who were enthusiastlo Rosicrucians.
Ho Is also the American representa
tive of the International fine aria
bodies of Europe, ol wnich Fermin
Qumier o f the Opera Comique in Park
Is the president.
NO F A N A T IC A L DOCTRINES
There arc no fanatical or extreme
doctrines. Roslcrudans are not vege
tarians, teetotalers, antl-vlvlsectlonlsts
or reformers In any sense through
commands o f the organization. Each
is made acquainted -vlth 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 . blind followers o f
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.
PltEE OF P A R T Y TIES
Thomas Jefferson, one of the early
officers of the organization, was one
of the first to establish the custom o f
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 o f many In high office the order
Is ever alert In the protection o f the
best Interests of the oitlzens, and
being free from any political connec
tions It Is able to carry to fruition
many projects which m ight be frus
trated by party Influences.
*
Since tho organisation 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 o f Initiation Is
a dramatic presentation of some of
the fundamental laws of nature, ar
ranged t o Impress the members with
the beauty and significance of the
principles Involved.
USE E G Y P T IA N COSTUMES
Th e 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 costumcs o f tha nth dynasty.
Tho reason for this Is found In the
fact that the Roslcrudons trace much
of their philosophy to the wonderful
writings of Amenhotep IV, Pharaoh
of Egypt. He It was woh established
the first moiYothetstlc religion known
to man and by official decree pro
hibited the practice of heathen. Idol
worship throughout Egypt.
He claimed that tho sun disk was
not to be worshipped except In adora
tion to It as the medium o( life power
which emanated from the "sole living
Ood." iHe 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 o f the
philosophncal, religious and scientific
schools of the Orient, and for this
reason he Is honored by the Roslcruclans.
A N T IQ U IT Y MERE BACKGROUND
While the in d en t philosophies are,
therefore, referred to In their dra
matic ceremonies, they form only Uie
background for the stage-setting of
the present-day teachings- No mystic
or historical character of the post Is
worshipped by the Rosicrucians and
all their sacred prayers arc directed
to the Ood of our hearts," meaning,
thereby, the Ood o f man's conscious
ness and emotional comprehension, the
Inner being of all men. tho image of
the God of the universe.
The government o f the order In
each land Is autocratic, as Is that ot
practically every fraternal organiza
tion. But each branch or lodge Is
composed of 114 members who elect a
council of 1G. This council then electa
BU- iiBBEUf ana aUicr officers are un
der the direction o f 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 o f tho International
council and a lagtc of the other su
premo councils of the world.
IIAS OW N 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 fo r definite missions In life
along very practical lines. As In the
past, tho organization Is non-commerclal, since It publishes no books for
public sale, has no merchandise or
Items o f 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 uropo; Jt 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 mcUla Into rare
ones or to direct the affairs of Its
members In such ways aa to bring un
stinted prosperity Into their lives and
thereby Into tho coffers o ' the order.
RECORD IS CLEAN
Be that as It may. the fact Is that
the organization has never been known
to want for means to carry out Its
natlon-wldo plans, nor has It ever been
sued In any court or chargcd with
any Irregularity from a. moral, ethical
or financial point of view. Its Im
perator Is a member o f many boards
of directors and Is affiliated with
many corporations and big business
propositions and Is one of tho prin
cipal supporters of the order's hu
manitarian activities,
to, the organization's reputation with
those who are unacquainted with IU
real nature, and bccausc the order
seldom seeks publicity, very few of the
real facts arc popularly known.

ROSICRUCIAN TEACHINGS
Give Key to Secrets
ROSE-CROIX MYSTICISM
IN MODERN FORM
New Book Loaned To Sincere Seekers
The Rosicrucian w ere the M aster M ystics in all ages and today they are
organized in lodges, groups and colleges in all parts o f the w orld. In
their teachings. In their teachings they secretly preserve the ancient wisdom that
made the Pyramid in Egypt the marvel of today. With the higher Cosmic laws and
secrets of mystical power you can change the course o f your life and attract
success, health, happiness and a development of mental foresight that will astound
you and surprise your friends. The Rosicrucian teachings containing the true
knowledge of the mystics are never sold in books. But, you may borrow a book
called "The Light of Egypt," in which the strange story of the Rosicrucians is told
and an explanation given of how you may have the private teachings of the
Rosicrucian Fraternity in America.

Amorc P a rty
L e a v e s Friday
For Pilgrimage
Like tho crusados of old, a little
pnrty will Icnvc San Joso tomorrow
night on n pUgrlmuRc to Tar lands.
But unlike lho old crusades, this
pllgrlmago will travel in tho luxury of
modern transportation to tho mystic
land of Egypt.
It is a pllgrlmago of members of the
Ancient and Mystic Order of Tlo&uc
Cruel, headquarters for which Jn
North 'America aro located In the
Amorc Temple on Nagleo Avenue.
Tho long Journey will start from
Ban Joso tomorrow night at 7:30
o'clock with a party of 12, which will
pick up additional groups en route
until moro than 200 members of the
order will ho gathered from all parts
of America and JSuropo at the end of
tho trip In Egypt.
Dr. H. Spencer Lewis of San Jose,
Imperator lor North America of the
Rosicrucian order, will conduct the
pilgrimage. Tho itinerary, as already
mapped out, is: San Joso to Los An
geles, where 50 members, representing
the Pacilic Coast, will board the
private car of tho Sunset Limited;
thenco through tho south to St.
Louts and Chicago, where 30 more will
join the party; and thenco to New
York, whero 20 moro will be picked up
for ihe voyage to Europe. In Europe,
moro than 100 are expected to join
the pilgrimage.
ANCIENT INITIATION
One of the features of tho long
pllgnmago will bo the undent Initia
tion ceremonies qmong tho rums of

Noted Expert
On Forgery
Coming Here
A. R. Lewis, acknowledged as the
dean of the world's experts on forgery,
and his wife will arrive here Sunday
to spend the months of July and
August as tho guests of their son, H.
Spencer Lewis, Imperator o f the
Rosicrucians, on Naglee Avenue.
For over thirty years Mr. Lewis was
associated with Harvey Spencer, one
of the two famous Spencer brothers,
originators of the Spencerian penman
ship sysytcm used In all schools for
many years.
I t was at this time that the science
o f chemical and microscopic exami
nation of writing, Ink and paper was
developed In connection with the
study of suspected documents or ques
tioned chlrography. In the develop
ment of the science Mr. Lewis became
the associate of Daniel T. Ames,
Americas foremost authority on un
conscious habits and tendencies In
normal and abnormal writing. After
the death of Mr. Ames, Mr. Lewis be
came the dean o f the science and
profession and has held that attain
ment over since.
IN T H A W CASE ,
As an expert In criminal chlrogTaphy, Mr. Lewis has not only served
the United States Government for
many years In Federal and local
courts, but he has been the chief ex
amining expert in such famous cases
involving forgeries or questionable
writings as the Dr. Kennedy, the
MoUneux, Rlce-Patrlck and Harry
Thaw cases.
Many of the most
prominent wills and legacies Involv
ing millions of dollars, but containing
some clement of doubt in the wrting
or signatures, .have passed through
Mr. Lewis' hands for final decision, as
have many Important documents
bearing upon national and Interna
tional problems.
