SACRED STONE STOLEN Somebody has stolen the sacred stone on which Moses is said to have stood while he prayed for the Israelites. The stone was in the temple of a religious order known as the Rosicrucians at San Jose, CaL, who had brought it to this country from Egypt. Dr. Spencer Lewis, caretaker of the temple, says the Egyp­ tians had laid a curse on anyone who should buy or steal this ancient relic and the thief, whoever he is, is now subject to this curse. The curse evi­ dently was not functioning while the stone was in the hands of the Kosicrucians.—Cappers Weekly.
