This was accomplished by turning many people Randolph mentioned running into members of various occult organizations secretly connected to ancient Egyptian Rosicrucians, known members into masters of groups they were members of, and an unknown young man who met Eliphas Levi into none other than a young Randolph.

In this, also, he was earlier dubbed a charlatan and worse. Swinburne ClymerRev. Book of the Rosicruciae Rosicrucians Vol. Gordon MeltonRoutledgep. Clymer was the first to register as an Osteopath in the Counties of Bucks and Lehigh. However, this New Order is possible only if the Divine Law is obeyed and the ideals of our founding fathers carried out without distortion or deviation.

In each instance, the members confessed a feeling of guilt, a knowledge of unethical activity, a recognition of an act simi.

I t was an activity to which the inner Soul rebelled, but per formed dutifully as a submission to the unprincipled orders coming from a man supposed to be a master among men. T hat the work is wrong and against all spiritual laws is proven by the fact that it must be performed in secret, per formed with sly glances to the side to make certain that no one is looking, that the individual is not detected in his or her nefarious work. This, however, is only part of the story. W hat can be the feeling and the reaction of the conscience of those who go to libraries for the sole purpose of stealing books, or taking books out of the library with the intention of never returning them; reporting them lost, and if forced to make amends, pay for the books rather than permit the public to learn the truth about an organization whose first activity consisted in stealing a name and the symbols belonging to an authentic organization?

The facts are plainly stated. The proofs cannot be disputed. I t is truth to which the public has a right. I t is the activity of an organization falsely claiming to be Rosicrucian. I t reports a nefarious activity by which the A. For centuries the Rosicrucian Fraternity has taught the high est spiritual laws available to man and therefore could not and would not stoop to such underhanded methods to advertise it self and to keep truthful knowledge from the public through the use of methods which discredit the organization using them.

As life itself is both glorious and painful, positive and nega tive, so this volume brings you much that you will treasure throughout life, and what there is of the negative is reported so th at you may the better recognize t r u t h.

The facts herein stated are not an Accusation, but justified self-defense and the Refutation of false accusations knowingly and deliberately made. The effort to bring about such an organization was first started in by Sidney H.

Progress was slow, as no such movement had ever before been attempted. During , the effort so far as it had then progressed, resulted in the formation and Incorpora tion of the Royal Fraternity Association, so named because the leading spirit was a citizen of Great Britain, a monarchy. This Association continued active until , when it was merged with the then organized International Confederation.

Until the only known and active Rosicrucian Organiza tion in the United States was known as the Randolph Founda tion. C lym er. This resulted in much confusion, due to the fact that these new organizations defied the Landmarks of the Ancient Fraternity by advertising their wares.

Among the boldest and most persistent of the charlatans a term designating those who establish spurious bodies and organizations without proper or legitimate authority was H. Spencer Lewis, the object of the present sketch. He persistently and consistently accused the Supreme Grand M aster of the original and legitimate Fraternity of all the things of which he himself was guilty, not alone as regards the Rosicrucian F ra ternity in America, but also of the Confederation of Initiates.

T hat the facts may be more easily presented we herein re produce two pages from the May, , issue of his publica tion, T h e R o s i c r u c i a n D i g e s t. All the im portant false charges are numbered in the reproduction. Our answers are in the text which follows the reproduction. Necessarily and for want of space, our answers must be brief. However, those de siring more detailed information will find this in the two vol umes: The Rosicrucian Fraternity in America.

Please bear in mind that up to the year no organization existed in the United States which used the name Rosy Cross, Brother hood of the Rosy Cross, Rosicrucian or any other Rosicru cian name,3 except the Randolph Foundation.

Icfi in from. In oth er Kvords. B ulqum ,. M otion and stiil p ictu res o f the officers w e re , ,. Lewis organized his clandestine, spurious and illegitimate 1 organization, and it will be readily under stood that the terms Charlatan, Spurious, and Fabri cated rightfully belong to him who makes these charges, ac cusing another for his own sins. No change had been made in them because they were the recognized and au thentic symbolic representations not only of the Grand Mas ters, but also of the era of the Fraternity and of the Great Work under these Grand Masters.

It was Mr. Lewis who fab ricated a wholly new, unknown, non-symbolic design for the emblem of his A. Brown, and his Coun cil of Three th at Dr. Swinburne Clymer, as the succeeding Supreme Grand Master of the entire Fraternity began the use of the insignia of his own House,0 while also, according to Rosi crucian Landmarks and usage, he continued the use of the symbolism of the Randolph Foundation.

No change what soever, except the editing to modern phraseology, had been made since the foundation of the Fraternitas Rosa; Cruris in Such instructions as had been added in an effort to sim plify or make easier the Great Work were plainly so marked in order that error or misunderstanding would be impossible.

On the contrary, Mr. Lewis has been guilty of appropriating the greater part of certain rare or out-of-print occult books and issuing this information as lessons belonging to A. The proof of this fact is open to all who desire to in vestigate. By using the date , Mr. Lewis apparently implies that because he in later years claimed his organization had its beginning in he was also associated with such a movement.

Both implications are false. It is true that an attem pt was made in Europe to form a world-wide organization; not by an English journalist, but by an English editor and we are happy to be able to name him.

He was Sidney H. Beard, Editor of the Herald, oj the Golden Af e; not in the year , but in , shortly after he issued Ihe Manifesto which first appeared in his magazine The 11era'd of the Golden Age. Formation of an Association of Orders and Fraternities was accomplished in America in Lewis and his satellites d:d hold a meeting in Brus sels in , but he was just five years late in the, to use his own words, Spuriou s group s clothe d themselves with names and titles which simulated, or were identical to, those of the honorable and authentic order s , because in the members of the Randolph Foundation of Orders, Temples, 7 C o m p lete re p ro d u c tio n s of b o o k s a n d lessons w ill be f o u n d in V ol um e T w o of T h e R o sicru cia n F ra te r n ity in A m erica.

Societies and Fraternities, had formed an International Or ganization and Registered in the State oj Pennsylvania, the title C o n f e d e r a t i o n o r F r a t e r n i t y o f I n i t i a t e s , i. Practically all of the organizations named were spurious and organized for the express purpose of forming an organization for which even the name was appro priated.

The proof of this statement will be offered as we proceed. The Ordre Kabbalistique de la Rose-C. Chevillon, who openly denounced Mr. Lewis and his clandestine activities. Lewis fails to mention that the F. Here in America, Masonry does not so recognize the Rite and classes it as clandestine, illegal and fraudulent. The authority used in See F acsim ile of certificatio n or re g istra tio n herein.

L was not that of a legiti mate European Rite, but, as stated, of a hastily formed clan destine Rite which had no foundation in fact and never was recognized by any of the European Masonic bodies. Lewis, throughout his career of fabrication and self-clothing, as he terms it, has been consistent in his claims that the Headquarters of the authentic Randolph Foundation were located on a farm in Pennsylvania.

Undoubtedly thou sands of people at one period of his activities did believe that these Headquarters consisted of an old farm house and a barn. Since the publication of The Rosicrucian Fraternity in Amer ica with photographs of many of the buildings, he no longer finds it so easy to mislead others in this respect; but despite this he continues to publish and republish this falsehood.

We never made the claim that such a meeting had not been held in Brussels, but we did claim, and we still claim, that it was wholly clandestine; with out any legitimate authority; was not Rosicrucian in charac ter; that it was based on the fabricated authority of a pseudoMasonic fraudulent Rite of Memphis which itself had no exist ence and equally clandestine Co-Masonic bodies, and that it was, and still is, the fabrication of one man who also was re sponsible for the documents and their manufacture and their use at that meeting.

Moreover, as already stated, the name was only a slight variation of the one registered in the United States five years before and filed in every country in the world under Copyright treaty. Lewis continues, five years later, to dub the Ran dolph Foundation as pseudo-Rosicrucian. Published records and documents, however, leave no doubt regarding the real ownership of the name and insignia. There is nothing secret, mysterious or hidden. The signatories to the Confederation are of men and Orders still active.

Unlike the F. P art of its Fama was published in the Congressional Record 1 for all to read and may be had 3 by all who are interested. The letter mentioned by Mr. Lewis was released only to Acolytes and Neophytes of the Fraternity and apparently one of these is a friend of our critic. Such a thing, though regrettable, is something unavoidable in an age which considers money as a god.

Lewis re frained from naming Hieronymus. The name does not add luster to any movement, as all will readily understand who will give a little study to the said gentlemans history.

There could be no such office or Officer for the reason that Mr. Lewis and A. It is also a fact that no one could have conferred authority upon him to establish the Rose Cross anywhere in Europe for the one good reason that long before Mr. Lewis became active, the Fraternity had been established in every country in Europe, and it is a Rosicrucian Law, as it is a Masonic Law, that wherever the Fraternity is active, no other Order of the same or similar name may attempt to function.

The extraordinary efforts which Mr. Lewis is willing to make in order to bolster up his clandestine 1'. On his return home from Europe in , R. Swinburne Clymer, Supreme Grand M aster of the authentic Rosicrucian Fraternity, at once proceeded to prepare for issue in ancient form the Second Fama Fraternitas of the Fraternitas Rosa; Crucis, the first having been prepared and issued by the F ra ternity in Publication of this Second Fama was com pleted in July of the same year.

The printed and bound cop ies, together with a letter bearing the date of August 2, , were forwarded to the Grand Secretary of every Grand Lodge of Masonry throughout the world.

Evidently one of these forwarded the Fama and the accom panying letter to A. Lewis is true to form in that he refers to our operating a Rosicrucian Organization on a farm. This statement has been made so often that its un truthfulness has been well established; first, because almost all of those vitally interested have visited headquarters, and, sec-.

G ran d Lodge F. Lewis, A. From the very beginning of Mr. Lewiss activities the true Fraternity. Lewis ever having obtained authority to establish a Rosicrucian body in America from anjr authentic organization anywhere on earth, because the Landmarks of the Fraternity forbid even the at tem pt to do such a thing wherever the Order exists. The statement made in this letter is utterly and maliciously false. The Confederation cannot have stand ing with such a clandestine body, has never requested it, and has consistently pointed out its illegitimacy.

Secretaries and the Fama have been more or less a tirade against A. To disprove this we reproduce herewith the letter of August 2, This will show that neither was mentioned in any manner whatever and that the letter itself was a dignified communication between Brother and Brother.

During February, March and April of , Dr. Swinburne Clymer, Supreme Grand M aster of the International Confederation of Initiate Orders, visited the countries of South America to induct formally the authentic established Rosicrucian Organizations into full membership into the Confederation, all of which is part of the published history of the Confederation.

A full re port can be found in the Revised Second Fama. Shortly after Dr. Swinburne Clymer returned from Eu rope, Mr. This one and onehalf page article is herewith reproduced so that no one can be accused of misquoting.
