OLDEST FRATERNAL

SOCIETY IN WORLD TO HAVE BRANCH HERE

Ancient and Mystical Order of Rosaea Crucis to Have American Lodge -

Men and Women on Equal Footing - Cross Used Said to Antedate Christ

by 1,700 Years - Many Distinguished Members.

Would you like greater peace of mind, greater control o f emotion, ability torise above the material conditions of life, capacity for greater physical and

mental recreation, a better understanding of life, a deeper insight into its

possibilities - in other words, to draw from life the best there is in it? You

would, o f course, and so would your neighbor. Well, then, become members of

the Ancient and Mystical Order of Rosaea Crucis, which is now organizing an

American lodge.

The Rosaea Crucis is not to be confused with the Red Cross Society. There is

nothing charitable or religious about it, despite the fact that the cross is its

emblem. It is the "oldest fraternal and secret organization in the world," a

prospectus states, and - suffragists please note - the first organization known in

history where women were accepted on equal footing and were eligible to thehighest office.



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 of 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 o f Rosaea Crucis, the seventeenth degree o f Masonry, it is

claimed being an admission of its debt tothe Rosicrucians. Outgrowths of the

Rosaea Crucis, it is stated, are the Knights of the Rosy Cross in England and the

Societe Rosicruciana in France.

Rosicrucians in the United States have been trying 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 o f 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 minuteone 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 o f great natural phenomena.

"They must take an oath to hold sacred above all other things the innermost

secrets and teachings o f 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 o f

the order invites all the disaster of life and condemns the soul and innermostman 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



The first public announcement of the plans for the American Order appeared in

The Globe of February 24th 1915, exclusively by special arrangements.

The Globe was a newspaper published in New York City.
