The great WAR of CONSTRUC

to begin this year wll not be any
thing in the nature of an Utopian ex
periment in its various campaigns,
according to that historical document,
1934and War," published by the
Rroicnictans at San jose, California.
It says; There will be oo attempt
at the iarcial equalization of the na
tions wealth, nor any attempt to
solve the economical and industrial
problems by a new form or an old
form of altruistic experimentation.
Every move in the campaigns of
this great war will be carefully
analyzed and passed upon by the na

will be approved and recommended by
the people themselves in local and
nation-wide conclaves,
Each month of etch year of the

AMORC ROSICRUCIANS
The Rosicrucians , through their representative and Imperator, Dr. H. Spencer
Lewis, have pledged themselves to assist in the war against crime by supporting
the United States Flag Association, the crime prevention division of which was
incorporated under Federal Law in April 1924, under the title of "Council of 76."
Their slogan is "Crime Must Go!" This slogan has been adopted, also, by New
York City Police Commissioner John O'Ryan.
Officers of the United States Flag Association are:
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, president-general; Colonel James A. Moss, formerly
of the 92nd Division of the U.S. Army, active president; Patrick J. Hurley, former
secretary of war, national chairman.
Mr. Moss and Mr. Hurley recently appointed Dr. Lewis as State Chairman of the
Council of 76 for the State of California. Dr. Lewis in turn pledged the support of
the Rosicrucians, whose headquarters are at San Jose, Cal., to the Council of 76.
Persons interested in crime prevention should write to the executive secretary of
the association, William F. Seals, 923-15th street, N.W., Washington, D.C.
The war against crime is simply one phase of the prophecy contained in the
Rosicrucian pamphlet "1934-And War" in which they predicted a great war
between the citizens of this great country in order to bring about the rebirth of the
nation. This new WAR OF CONSTRUCTION will be under the command of the
military, and will lead directly to national dictatorship, the Rosicrucians prophecy.
The power of this country, the Rosicrucians say, will be placed "in the hands of
those who have shown and demonstrated the ability to govern and control their
own personal affairs, and make a success of their lives. It will put a premium upon
personal mastership and make personal unfoldment of prerequisite to the exertion
of any influence in the direction of national unfoldment..."
AMORC ROSICRUCIANS
The Rosicrucians in their pamj.,.
let of prophecy, 1934 And W ar/'
declare True democracy in America
ha not tailed because it has never
been truly tried. The American
ideals oi democracy are still mere
ideals, and rave never had sufficient
trial and sufficient application to be
called either a failure or a success.
.4 lie nation is too y9 ung, and the true
principles oi democracy, are too in
volved and require too long a period
of study and application, to have had
any fair trial in the United States.
But while dem ocracy has not fail
ed it is to be rejected in the future
because of a better system has been
unfolded, and will be more easily and
efftcie .tly
inaugurated, and more
abundantly demonstrated to be cor
rect. The old ideals of American
democracy vested the power of the
direction and control of t *is coun
try in the hands oi the majority of
the individuals regardless of quali
fication and ability, understanding and
comprehension. It is based upon the
false idea that a Quantitative power
is more efficient and more correct
tiian a qualitative one.

4. Every obstacle in life is either of our own making and acceptance or can be
overcome and made to serve as a stepping stone to independent happiness and
affluence.
5. There are simple methods whereby the power of the subconscious self can be
awakened, enlivened, and applied to change the course of your life for the better.
6. No degree of success at present is a true indication of what your life can be if
you wish it. Business depression, periodic cycles of troubles, and national panics
mean nothing to the one who is master of his own affairs.
7. You have now, before you in this leaflet, the opportunity of learning about the
simple way to abundant life and Mastership of your Life. Send for the Gift Book
today and make it a red letter day in your life.

Have you found yourself drifting
down the stream of life? Are val

Why Are We Here? Arc we
here for a definite duty?
Many a Time have you not often
wondered .Why?* Why you are as
you are, and others are
>vytri, bankers, clerk*, hou* .-wives, and
so forth? Why some are prosperous
and healthy. others in dire need ? Why
we are call'd equal, when such in
equalities exist?
Why are we permitted to make the
mistakes for which we must suffer
penalties? Why God, D-vinity, or
our Creator, which ever term you're
familiar with, permits ui to make
iuch errors? Why must we learn
through first suffering from a mis
take i Why are we not *h m n how
to prevent the mistake? Why caea
God and nature mathematically and
systematically decree the existence
and manifestation of everything n<re
on this plane, and still we do not our
selves, apparently know why we are
here, on this earth plane?
Why, if we are here for i defnite
purpose or act, do wc not return
again to be able to corapk : our duty
andpurpose on this plane? Perhaps
we do.
These questions the churches, uni
versities. and science in general at
tempt to answer; but stiM there is
much about these questions that caus
es the averate person to ponder and
he is left apparently wrtoout ade
quate information. Certainly someone
must know the answer and re*son
why.

The Roeicrucian Brotherhood, a
San Jose organization, is out with
a little booklet making some pre
dictions for 1934, the third of a
series of early previews of coming
events. The first pamphlet entitled
**1932 and You/' was issued in the
fall of 1931 after a period of study
and investigation of the world cy
cles and charts of coming events
maintained in the archives of a
secret organization in Europe. These
charts with their curves and an
gles and their precise figures re
veal the outstanding events of the
world based upon periodic action
and reaction of definite cycles of
human experience. T h e y are nei
ther the result of Divine revelation
nor human invention. They are
precisely and geometrically config

Tills ought to be enough for one

further as follows: T his is to be
America's grzat war against the
enemies of civilization, the enemies
of happiness, the enemies of pros

enemies of those ideals upon which
the American government was

Nearly eight hundred AMORC Rosicrucians from throughout the world gathered
at their sixth annual convention in San Jose, California, to witness the dedication of
their science building founded on idealistic lines, according to A. S. Mettler of
1085 Base Line, San Bernardino. Mr. Mettler has returned from the Rosicrucian
convention, having represented there the membership of this district.
Sir Francis Bacon 1600 A.D. father of the present school of science, conceived in
his novel The New Atlantis a university whose object it would be to
scientifically investigate the hypotheses and theories advanced by learned men,
which because of their fantastic nature were considered beyond the realm of
religion or conventional science.
The Rosicrucians, states Mr. Mettler, recognize Bacon as an early officer of their
order, and thus their science building of ornate Egyptian design and housing
chemistry, light, physics, radio and photographic laboratories will be devoted to
original research into strange phenomena. An important feature of the convention
was the conferring on Dr. H. Spencer Lewis, imperator of the order, a cross of
honor by the Washington representative of the American flag association for
distinguished service rendered the association in its war on crime. Educational
features consisted of philosophical addresses and addresses by Rosicrucian
authorities on outstanding spheres of science.

Dr. Lewis To
Speak Sunday
Tomorrow night the third discourse
of the scries at the Rosicrucian As*
scmbly will be given by Dr. H. Spencer
Lewis, treating upon the ways and
means of attaining success In life
through utilizing all of the Inner and
latent abilities possessed by man and
the development of special faculties
which will enable him to attune him
self with the newer and more progres
sive ideas of the evolving conscious
ness of the American people.
Dr. Lewis has Just returned from a
visit to Los Angeles, where he was
honored by tho mayor of the city and
civic officials and officers of the
United States Flag Association after
delivering a lecture to a very lArgc
assembly on the subject of the pre
vention of crime. In his talk tomor
row night he will point out that crime
is generally a result of failure in life
and success can be attained to such n
degree that man may become a potent
Influence for good rather than a pub
lic enemy.
The discourses on Sunday nights at
the Roslcrucian Assembly arc preceded
by music and the beautiful Oriental
ritual and ceremony is augmented by
a specially-trained choir directed by
Mrs. Violet Cowger.

A power great enough to
change your whole life is

Because of general recognition
that political factions and clash of

rier z o the progress ot m odem soc
iety and the developm ent of indus
try, world-wide public opinion and
action in 1935 will faver dictator

T his is the prediction of the R osicrucian Order, AMORC, contained
In a brochure entitled. 1935 and
Surprise, according to Mrs. S te r
ling Davis of R1 Jardln, district com
missioner of trie order.
Mrs. Davis says the brochure is of
a scries of annual predictions Issued
by the Grand Lodge of the philoso
phic Order in Bar. Jo<sa* baiifornia,
and startling for their accuracy.
Further predictions included in the
brochure are that Austria will fight
for and secure a return to a m odified
form of monarchy. International a f
fairs of Germ any will bub solidify
the support of Hitler but also bring
about an alteration of h is objection
able -policies. Fra-nce, it is stared,
will be further distressed ar.d ter
rorized by a war fear complex.
A constant
display of her e v i
dent suspicion will affect her Inter
national good will, resulting in a
loss of trade. In the U nited States,

ed that during the reign of Amcnhotep IV. pharaoh of Egypt. 1350
D. C.. the period In which the phil
osophical order is traditionally as
serted to have had Its origin. Roslcruclnns began to periodically meet
In grotto temples. These, secret
meetings were for the discussion
nnd contemplation of the then ad
vanced knowledge of the time. Treks
to theso early conclaves were ever
the desert wastelands of northern
Africa. By contrast, Mr. Gunnarson
states, the grand lodge of the order
in Ban Jose, Calif., provides modern
talking motion picture equipment
nnd other devices to tour the Unit

mcmbcrrhlp the philosophical and

Speaks Here
An outline of the history and culture
of the almost mythical continents of
Lemuria and Atlantis was given by
Cecil A. Poole, a member of the Na
tional Board of Lectureship of the
Rosicrucian Order, AMORC, last night
at the Chamber of Commerce Build
ing.
Mr. Poole said that there is scien
tific evidence that both continents
existed but had sunk beneath the sea
through changes in the surface of
teh earth. Lemuria long preceded At
lantis, he said, and the people living
on it reached a high decree of culture,
the secrets of which have been passed
down through the ages through a so
ciety of learning now known as the
Rosicrucian Order.
The great pyramid of Gizeh, he
continued, was the meeting place of
the Rosicrucians in the early days of
our present civilization, and it was
through their efforts that art and
learning flourished in Egypt. He said
that the secret of intelligent living
passed down through the ages from
Lemuria and Atlantis is' that men
should work with nature and not
against it.

resented at the conclave, at which
nearly eight hundred persons at
tended.
A night pageant, with the partic
ipants flooded by colored lights in a
setting of an Egyptian colonade,
depicting by mystical dance the
esoteric principles of the order, was
the most coloi^ui feature.

by a graduation ceremony of the

Black light Is an essential phase of
the lower portion of the solar spec
trum and has great penetrating pow
ers, but Is absolutely harmless In na
ture. It Is expected to be a great boon
to medical science, because It has the
peculiar quality of making oertaln
parts of the living organism luminous

of being cosily photographed.

Tho two most colorful features of

An aerie ray of light, which is not

demonstration was conducted In

of the society.
Black light is said to be an es
sential phase of the lower portion
of the solor spectrum ar|d has
great penetrating power but is ab
solutely harmless in nature. It Is
expected to be a great boon to med
ical science, It Is declared, because
it hag the peculiar quality of mak

ism luminous to [he naked eye, and
thus Capable of being easily pho
tographed. Unliked other ultra
violet rays, black light is not de
structive to living tissue, regardless
of the length of time living matter
may be exposed to It.
Mrs. Ndrwood further slates that
twelve countries and cvct.' slate of
the union was represented at the
conclave at which nearly eight

Ermon Smith of 838 Fairgrounds
avenue, lpral Rosicrucian, states that
these conclaves are traditional with
the order. It is declared that during
the reign of Amenholep IV, Pharaoh
of Egypt, 1360 B. C. the period in
which the philosophical order is
traditionally asserted to have had
its origin. Rosicrucians began pc
radically to .meet fn grotto temples.
These secret meetings were for the
discussion and contemplation of the
then advanced knowledge of the
time. Treks to these early conclaves
were ovfcr the desert waste lands of
Northern Africa. By contrast he
states, the grand lodge of the order
in San Jose, Calif., equips modern
motor vehicles with the latest sound
and talking motion picture equip
ment, and other devices, to tour the
United States to demonstrate to. its
membership the philosophical and
scientific principles of the move
ments teachings.
The three special discourses, with
sound and talking motion pictures,
will be held at The Women's club,
0u3 North First avenue, beginning
at 8 p. m. The last discourse Monday
night, November 4, will bo open to
the public and will consist of a dis
cussion of the legends and archaeo
logical finds appertaining to the con
tinents of Lemuria and Atlantis, re
ferred to by Plato and Sir Francis
Bacon. It is expected several Yava

Rosicrucians To
Carry Case Up To
Supreme Court
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 19 (AP).
Bitter controversy revolving about
the order of Rosae Crucis, with head
quarters in San Jose, will continue
In the California supreme court, it*
was determined today when the court
denied a motion to dismiss an appeal
from a $1 judgment.
The order, the Supreme Grand
Lodge of the Ancient and Mystical
Order of Rosae Crucis, sued George
L. sm ith and E. E. Thomas for
$10,000 damages, charging they had
not conserved the ritualistic secrets;
had conspired with others to get
members to withdraw, and had made
implied charges against Dr. H. Spen
cer Lewis, "lmperator of the order.
Santa Clara Countys superior
court ruled in favor of the order on
July 19, 1934, enjoining Smith nnd
Thomas from further activities with
the conspirators" and ordering them
to return documents. Nominal dam
ages of $1 were granted,
The defendants appealed and the
order countered with a petition for
dismissal.

AMORC Prediction
Sees End of Gold
Oold. the tradition*I medium of ex
change, will begin Its final bow I n 1
1036, giving way to a successor that
i will be derided upon by the major
nations of the world.
Oliver E. Hof' nan. local district
commissioner of the Roalcruclan Or
der. AMORC. said today this Is one
of a series of predictions contained!
In the annual booklet issued by the
grand lodge of the philosophic order
of San Jose, Cal. He states that the
declarations of the booklet are not
based upon any system of divination,
but upon cyclical charts and diagrams
showing human and economic tendenrles.
The departure from gold, the bror
chure relates, will be caused by the
steady flow of gold shipments to the
few large creditor nations, giving them
a complete monopoly of the world's
supply.
Other predictions for 1938. states
Oliver E. Hoffman, are that real
estate will take a great boom In the
United States. England and Canada,
and that war will rage throughout
the far east before 1936 goes to rest.
