Rockhold, 863 South G eorge street, local com m iesioner of the philosophical order, have been asked to make a contribution to a project begun by O glethorpe u ni­ versity, G eorgia, for preserving to ­ day's know ledge for the civilization of the year A. P. 1833. The Rosicru* eian Order, Aniorc, has sent from San Jose. C alifornia, upon the reque*t of Dr. T. K. Peters, A rch ivist of O g le ­ thorpe university, manuscripts co n ­ taining the essence o f its p hiloso­ phical d o ctrin es to be Included with other chosen works of music, art and sciences to be Interred in the specially constructed vau lt and to be kept in ­ v io la te for o ver six ty centuries. T h e Crypt o f C ivilization began at O glethorpe u n iversity several years ago, is made o f stone in w hich is set a door of stainless steel 50 inches w ide and 15u inches high. The in ­ terio r walls, floor and ceiling are lined with vitreou s porcelain enam el w hich will have fiu»ed on them culored designs depicting today's life much in the m anner of the tom bs of E gyp t. E v e ry resource of m odern science is being em ployed to insure that mankind o f 8113 A. D. w ill find and be able to know of today's a c ­ complishments.

M rs. Rockhold fu rther relates the Roslcrucian m anuscripts are being m iscrofllm ed. T h e films w ill be placed in the T im e C rypt and they w ill contain 320,Out) pages of k n o w l­ edge in m icrofilm , which can be p ro ­ jected to the origin a l size or larger. C ecil A. Poole, supreme secretary o f the Roeicrucian order said that the requ est for the Rosierucian m an u ­ scripts was m ade because they re p re ­ sent a contem porary philosophy h aving its roots in the systems o f thou ght which began centuries b efore the prejent era. T h e crypt w ill be officia lly sealed in M ay of 1940 a c ­ cord in g to an announcem ent by Dr. P eters.

R O SICR UCIAN ORDER The Rose-Croix Institute and Clinic, established by the Amore, Rosicrucian Order o f San Jose, Calif., w ill consider, in an inves­ tigation of the causes and treat­ ment of malignant growths, the

psychological effects

of colorful

bedrooms, special music, and mo­ tion pictures which produce cer­ tain emotional reactions upon the patient. The institute’s founder, Dr. H. Spencer Lewis states, “An environment that does not sug­ gest constantly to the patient that he is abnormal or that he is iso­ lated from the enjoyment and pleasures of others, has a stimu­ lating effect upon the mental at­ titude o f the patient. The patient must be made to feel that he or she is a guest in a private home, having an enjoyable vacation, with the very best foods, the priv­ ilege of resting in a patio filled with flowers and or enjoying other elements that contribute to psychological, beneficial effects.” William Lauson of 416 North Maple w ill supply further infor­ mation concerning the organiza­ tion, ------------- * -------------.

Rosicrucian Philosophy Buried in Crypt Until Year A . D . 8113 — — —

A rchaeologists o f 6000 years in the fu ture w ill have made the most sta rt­ ling discovery in the history o f man when they force their w ay into the C ryp t o f C ivilization in Georgia. The Rosicrucians, according to Mrs. | C. N .

K . Peters, A r - j ch ivist of O glethrope U niversity, j manuscripts containing the essence o f j its philosophical doctrines to be in- * eluded w ith other chosen works o f music, a rt ,and the sciences, to be interred in the specially constructed vau lt and kept inviolate fo r over s ix ­ ty centuries. The C ryp t o f C iviliza t­ ion, states Mrs. Ash, begun at O g le­ thorpe U n ive rs ity several years ago, is made o f stone in which is set a door' o f stainless steel 50 inches wide and 150 inches high. The in terior walls, flo o r and ceilin g are lined with v itr e ­ ous porcelain enamel which w ill have j fused on them colored designs depict­ ing tod a y’s life much in the manner * o f tombs o f E g y p t. E v ery resource o f |modern science is being em ployed to t

insure that mankind o f 8113 A. D. \ w ill find and be able to know o f to-1 days, accomplishments. The problem o f location was met by taking a tria n g u -! lation from Stone Mountain and from 1 Kennesnw Mountain. This was p re­ pared by the United States Coast Geodetic Survey, Plaques o f m old ed ; cellulose acetate g iv in g a description | o f this location are being sent to li- * braries o f the gi^ at institutions! throughout the world and even to re- ' m ote and strange monasteries high in ’ the Him alayas.

Mrs. Ash fu rth er relates that the Rosicrucian manuscripts are being m icrofilm ed; la rg e pages o f tln P tex t are being reduced to fram es o f a 35 m illim eter film . By this process each page will be an im age o f but 1x14 inches. The rolls o f film are then placed in vitreous ami asbestos-lined stainless steed capsules which, a fte r they have been sealed and evacuated, have inert gas pumped into them. F if­ ty such capsules w ill be placed in the Tim e Crypt and they w ill contain 320,000 pages o f knowledge in m icro­ film which can be projected to the original size, or larger.

Woman Sues For Damages, Saying She Was Sterilized Los Angeles, April 30—IP—Suit for 51,000,000 damages has been filed against Ralph Maxwell Lewis and others by Jeanette Scott Sey­ mour Young, 27-year-old concert pianist, who charged they had her confined in a state insane hospital and forced her to undergo a sterili­ zation operation. Miss Young’s complaint asserted she became engaged to Lewi*, whom it identified as president of the Rosicrucian order, after he rep­ resented he was unmarried and a member of the Caucasian race. When she learned he was already married and was not a Caucasian, and threatened legal action, the complaint charged, Lewis conspired with Mrs. Lee Sackman Holmes, Herschel H. Holmes, Mrs. Gertrude Hand and other defendants, to have her placed in the Norwalk State hospital on a "perjured affidavit." Through bribery of state officers and attaches of the hospital, it al­ leged, the sterilization operation was performed there without her consent Jan. 12, 1935.

IA., a member of the national lecture' board of the Rosicrucian Order,! AMORC, in an address before 400 persons last night in the ballroom of the Berkshire Hotel. H o ll o way declared that the “mystery schools*’ began a “great tradition of philosophy and wisdom which has been carried down to the present day, now finding ex­ pression through the Rosicrucian Order. The subject of the address was “Ancient Secrets lor Putting the Mind to Work.” “Ancient peoples,” Holloway said, “had among them those who pos-l sessed an unusual understanding of the mind in both its objective Iand subjective — or subconscious— aspects, and who were able to use this profound understanding in treatment and healing work, in creating by the power of thought, and in mastering themselves and the conditions of their environ­ ment” A sound motion picture, “Along Civilization’s Trail." was shown after the lecture. Holloway is on a 9.000-mile tour which will take him to all parts of the United States.

Do such experiences indicate that, like a musical note, we each have our harmonic—some guiding pasr intelligence—with wliich ou r personal consciousness is attuned? There has ever persisted the doctrine that the eminent characters who have departed arc Cos* m*cal!y ordained to peipcfuate their work and ai na through new living personal lies in each age. Perhaps you, too, have observed an inexplicable similantv between y o u r ideals and inclination* and those of a prominent personage o f some ocher century or time.
