Members ‘Hope to Live to a Hundred Yeats. About a hundred professional and scientific men and ‘women of New York city have set about in a meth- odical way to discover the secret of long lite. They-call themselves .the Hundred Year club. They are not cranks in any sense of the word, and are conducting their investigation so- berly and sensibly, They are not vegetarians, Christian Scientists, or Ralsonites. Neither have they pledged thenizelves to live according to any particular _ set of rules. or to apply the secret of. longe- vity to themselves, if they discover it. They are open-minded and wpre- judiced. They meet and discuss theo ries of correct living. and as a matter of course try to live correcily them- selves. They do not pretend to say they will live to be centenarians. but in common with most persons. they hope they may. Prominent among the members of the Hundred Year club are Mrs, Eila Wheeler Wilcox. Theodor Carleton: Simons, Dr. H. A. Wi display at the Paris ex Smith, Albert Turner. Mrs. May Banks Stacey. John De Witt Warner. Cea Hayes of the United States pension bureau, Washington, and Colonel E. P. Vollum, U.S. tired. The club has recently named a committee to collect data as. to the actual length of life in this city. It expects to get figures from the cen- sus bureau. Thus far. Dr. Simons. chairman of his committee, hus secu ed the names of twelve persons in this city who are over a hundred.

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 of 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 of 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 of telepathy and that of actual spirit communication. Of 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 tell 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, of its class, ever recorded by our society, or perhaps by any other body of investigators. ‘New York Sunday World ew York, New Vork Sunday, January 6,1907‘The Washington Post Washington, Distriet of Columbia Sunday, January 13, 1907 Fourth Part, Page 12.

That is equivalent to saying that two persona born in the ame day and hour will have almilar characters ‘and fortunes, whereas we know that twins born only @ few minutes apart are often entirely opposite in disposition and have pursued widely different careers, This ‘vagueness and apparent Inconsistency in astrology Is due to the fact that the name of overy person really plays an important part In his horoscope. “When I began to investigate astrology the thing which {impressed me first was the fact that while the ancient Egyptians were acknowledged to have placed great im- portance upon a name in casting « horo- scope, modern astrologers paid little or no attention to it, Out of 100 astrologers to ‘whom T sent for readings not one consid= ered my name in bis computations, “The more I studied the more convinced T became that the system of connecting names with birth dates in casting horo- scopes known to the ancient Egyptians ‘wan tho missing link which, rediscovered, would change the astrology of to-day from 4 thing of glittering generalities to an ex- ‘act and useful weience. “From the Egyptians. you know. we have fan ancient astrological chart, which hae formed the foundation of numerous modern aime and number aystems, In it the letters arcanes, the relation of which to astrology | bas puzzled both astrologers and Egyptolo- fists over since they “were dianovered. | There are seventy-eight of them, twenty- | two major arcane and the balance minor. | *On each is @ bieroglyph or ideograph, | an astrological sign, and a letter, all of which, (¢ has been recoguized, must have | home connection with each other.

Combining his knowledge of Psychic Force with his wonderful system of Astrology, he has brought his method down to an absolutely scientific basis, reading the strange working of the planets under whose sign one is born with amazing accuracy. So startling are his predictions that those who receive them are almost carried back to the days of great miracles and forced to believe that Professor Lewis must be possessed of a strange but wonderful power. Even astrologers stand amazed at the accuracy with which he foretells the future. If you wish a free reading of your life with predictions for the balance of the year, on a beautiful Astral-Psychic Chart; if you need to know your lucky and unlucky periods; what pitfalls to avoid; what opportunities to grasp; suggestions on business, friends, enemies, love, marriage ties, travels, sickness, death, etc., write a short letter to Professor Lewis, Room 46, No. 43 West 27th Street, New York City, and you will receive it by mail without delay and absolutely free. Be sure to give date, month and year of birth, spell out your first and last name, and write your address plainly. Kindly enclose 10 cents to cover cost of mailing, etc., and Professor Lewis will send you his new and finely illustrated book, entitled “Your Past, Present and Future Revealed,” without any charge whatever. Be sure to tell your friends. Noone will be disappointed. They are sent by mail, postage prepaid, and absolutely free.‘New-York Daily Tribune New York, New York Wednesday, July 7, 1907 Page § ‘MRS.

She said: “There is no doubt that Shakespeare's plays | contain evidence of hermetic and ancient mystery sources, In fact many people claim that the plays ‘were written by a member of the secret soctety of the Rosicructa, and not by Shakespeare, while others claim that he was a member of this society. The aim of the Mystics was to teach man the reality of the future Life." This supposition was supported, she sald, by the fact, that Shakespeare, through his works, showed a familiarity with the teachings of Eista.

SPENCER LEWIS) (President of the New York Institute for Psychical Research.) ‘The President of New York's Psychical Research Society Says Proper Supervision Will Remedy Divorce Evils, and Gives a Definition of True "Affinity" as Affecting the Welfare of Society MORE and more we hear of "affinities," "soul-mates” and other terms applied to cases wherein true love has never existed and never could exist. The true meanings of these terms are distorted to fit unusual circumstances, and very few really understand what these spiritual terms mean, It is true that if all marriages were based upon true affinities there would be more happiness in marriage. The trouble at present is not with the divorce laws, but with the marriage laws. Were the marriage laws proper there would be little need for divorce laws of any kind. Does not the future of this country - of any country - depend upon its future men and women? Why are the children at present being educated to make better men and women for the future, and at the same time allowed to be born of parents who are not properly mated and not producing the domestic conditions which will enable the children to become perfect men and women? Education can never ‘overcome the born instincts and habits. Education alone can never make desirable man and women if they are nor born under proper conditions. How well the Greeks knew this. How well many of the ancient nations knew this! When parents are properly mated, when , when their loves are affinities and their lives are devoted physically, materially and spiritually to each other, then their children will be men and women of which this nation or any other nation would be proud. The question which will naturally arise is, What is affinity?The Bible will give one definition, science another and medicine another. We are looking for one definition that will cover all and will be clearly understood. Affinities are two souls, two spiritual beings, each having like natures, like abilities and possessing the same quality of love. They are like one whole, separated at birth and incomplete until joined again in marriage. No discord, no opposite thinking or feeling must exist between them. And affinity must be the "other half - the spiritual complement" of our souls. Perfect health is necessary for an affinity. True love is also necessary. If these do not exist there can be not affinity. The mind must be pure, the thoughts must be spiritual, above material planes, and must come from a mind that is wholly devoted to love and sacred faithfulness. There can be no successful marriage unless the principals are affinities to some degree. The greatest crime of the world at present is the lax marriage laws. The greatest obstacle to the world’s progress is the easy manner in which two people may marry, live together and bring into this world such children as will in the future weaken the nations. Trial marriages will not bring about the desirable results; they merely settle the physical questions of marriage, leaving the spiritual, the sacred questions unsolved. The only rational method is that of forcing a certain length of courtship, of acquaintance, between the man and woman. Hasty and sudden decisions in marriage should be prohibited. A thorough understanding of the nature of both principals should be forced, and only after at least two years’ companionship should marriage be allowed. This will give both persons an opportunity of realizing before it is too late the conditions which will probably exist between them. Is this were done many marriages would be postponed and many others would eventually result differently than planned. Many hasty decisions which result from love at first sight would be altered, and seldom would the result lead to the divorce court.

(Chicago Tribune] H, Spencer Lewis, a practical psycholo- gist of Great Britain, is experimenting in telepathy. He holds that thoughts are things; that they have a psychological or material existence as well as a psycho- slogical structure.

You ‘would, of course, and so would your neighbor. Well, then, become members of the Ancient and Mystical Order of Rosaca Crucis, which is now organizing an American lodge. ‘The Rosacea 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 the highest office. Ithas had, and still has, some distinguished members, among whom might be mentioned, according to the claims of the Rosicrucians, Napoleon, Henry Il, of England, King Louis the Pious, Lord Bulwer Lytton, and Lord Bacon, Dr. Alexis Carrel of the Rockefeller Institute, who is now at Lyons directing surgical treatment for wounded French soldiers, and Marie Corelli, the novelist, are members of European lodges, it is claimed. An ex-president of the United States is also said to be a Rosicrucian. 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 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 of Rosaea Crucis, the seventeenth degree of Masonry, it is claimed being an admission of its debt tothe Rosicrucians. Outgrowths of the Rosacea 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 of Psychical Research. Jewels and Symbols. “After fifty years of pleading, negotiating, and preparation, the supreme authorities have granted the right to establish such a lodge," he said. "The supreme consuls in Egypt and India designated Mrs. May Banks-Stacey, widow of Colonel Stacey, U.S.A., to bring the jewels and symbols to this country. She also has the rosary used by the family of Thotmis about 1,500 B.C. The chain is made of skin, set with rubics, turquoises, amethysts, and other stones bearing weird hieroglyphics." Mr, Lewis explained that Mrs. Banks-Stacey was a lineal descendant on her mother’s side of Mary Stuart, and on her father’s side of Cromwell . The qualifications for membership, as he explained them are:‘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 ‘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 Rosaca 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 of the Rosicrucian control of great natural phenomena. “They must take an oath to hold sacred above all other things 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 concem, 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 in The Globe of February 24th 1915, exclusively by special arrangements. ‘The Globe was a newspaper published in New York City.2 sayid Save ~ op SOUL wo aie TS ood wera 95 cares ophie ue TEU 2 = apn 1, Ja sprepres | sjdde 1a[@g_[eisedg pure -s[4i¢- ala ite qi all Renee Pa cel oS HIN el Ml th : Baie fle fli antieetg st teg tp Lreebheanegeeel child OA?

By Charles W. Wood THE Ancient and Mystical Order Rosae Crucis has come to America. It Is the most ancient and most mystical of all orders; so ancient that the encyclopedists have never been able to trace its origin, and so mystical that even the mystics of other cults have never been able to divine its meaning. Every one has heard of Rosaecrucianism, Few have any conception of what it stands for. Lexicon makers have disputed about the spelling of the word. But now the thing itself, Roseacrucianism, is here. And it is here to direct the course of America during the next five wonderful years; to point out the course written in the stars in the dawn of civilization and interpreted by the Wise Men of the East years before their successors followed the Star to Bethlehem. THERE was no air of mysticism about the rooms at No. 80 Fifth Avenue, where I talked with the young Grand Master General of 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 of 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 of 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and has aided in exposing many of the so-called spiritualistic frauds. “Roseacrucianism is true mysticism," he told me. "It is not a religion. It has nothing in common with theosophy or Hindu and Yogi philosophy, and has no connection with the new thought movement, spiritualism or mentalism. We call it, rightly, the Alpha and Omega of all leaning. It is a philosophy, a science, an art and a secret - all of these, inseparable and one." "It could not be established here until the year 3268," he added. "That year was fixed in the stars. It was read by Hermes 1,300 years before Christ; but the secret was kept, even fiom Rosaecrucians, until the time of fulfillment. There have been many earnest attempts to found the order here before. The enthusiastic propagandists themselves did not know why permission was withheld. Some of them have founded Rosaecrucian societies, clubs and fellowships. But you will note that none of these have used the name of the order or its official emblems. That could not be done until the year 3268. ‘The year 3268? Yes, that is the present year, according to the Rosaecrucian calendar. March 21 is the Rosaecrucian New Year. It begins at 1.06 A. M. Reckoning according to our present calendar, it was in the week of March 28 to April 4, 1489 B. C., when Thutmose IIL, Ruler of Egypt, and his little group of advanced thinkers, organized the first Council of the order out of the class in philosophy, which had been meeting in the royal chambers and represented the highest learning of the world. There were twelve in the group, nine men and three women. There are twelve degrees in Rosaecrucianism. The figures 9 and 3 have ever since been recognized as mystic symbols, The name of the order was not adopted at once, but the principles, rules and modes of procedure outlined by Thutmose have come down, it is claimed, practically unchanged in the ritual of all Roseacrucian lodges. Thutmose erected two obelisks outside the Temple of Karnak, where the order met. According to a tradition of the order one of these obelisks was to stand some day in the ‘Land where the Eagle spreads its wings." It does. It stands in Central Park, in the metropolis of the world, full of inscriptions meaningful to Rosaecrucians. How was America associated with the eagle twenty-eight centuries before ‘Columbus? "I can only say that it was," said Mr. Lewis. Then he produced a map,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 camest 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 of 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 of America is wrapped up with the Rose and Cross. With Mr. Lewis's commission as Grand Master General came official seals and symbols of authority. Then, through devious sources, which he says were unknown even to the Grand Master, came some treasured jewels of the order. Most treasured of all was the original SCARAB of Thutmose IIT, used by the ancient founder to impress his cartouche upon his royal decrees. This cartouche was adopted as the first seal of 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 of 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 of 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 of the Laws and Causes of things than of results. We see the desire for peace and harmony supplanting the ‘glories’ of 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 of 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 leaming, 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 Rosaccrucians) 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. ‘THE PORT WAYNE JOURNAL-GAZETTE, ‘Sunday Morning, April 2, 1916.

All this geeurred about 1540 B. C. and 1350 B.C. It is the only secret, fraternal, sci- entific order in the world today which admits women on an equal basis with men and offers them the same high offices and honors. In this respect it is the first body of men and women recognizing the equality of the sexes. There are chapters and lodges of the order in every country of the world today, including America. The order was established in Ameri- ca in February, 1916.The Brooklyn Daily Eagle Brooklyn, New York ‘Tuesday, August 22, 1916 Page 3 NEW ROSAE CRUCIS LODGE . ae \ neoment is made hy ‘Ther Kiimakhto, seeretiry general of the Manhattan lodge, that a new lodge of the Rosie Crucis, one of the oldest of Anno fraternal organizations, is soon to be ostablished in Hreoklyn.
