book is true it opens wide a very large door to a

serious criticism of an important fundamental claim made in behalf of Jesus. Another interesting point is the fact that none of these learned or unlearned orthodox critics attempted to show that the rec- ords contained in this book relating to the events of the unknown youth of Jesus were inconsistent, improbable, or of any importance. Yet to the thou- sands of persons who have read the book and valued it, the facts relating to the youth of Jesus were outstanding in importance because they cast a very important light upon the whole of the life of Jesus.
It is probably sufficient unto themselves for these critics to throw the book aside, as they say they have done, or confine it to the rubbish heap, as they unhesitatingly reveal to the author with the declaration that “the whole book is an unsup-
ported and uncorroborated piece of fiction.” Such { 304 ]}
THE MYSTICAL LIFE OF JESUS
an attitude has been assumed by the learned and wise ones throughout all of the ages in regard to every new revelation not only in the field of reli- gion and philosophy, but in science. It was this attitude that caused the church to cast aside the words of warning and the sound advice given by those who became illumined with the new truths. Many of these were burned at the stake, or con- demned to eternal imprisonment, but later made saints. In all ages there have been those who re- fused to believe the new facts of life, and have con- demned the one who attempted to reveal them.
Among the many peculiar ideas advanced in some newspaper and magazine communications re- garding the book is a typical one which appeared in the letter column of the New York Sun for August 15, 1929. In the letters in this page one gentleman wrote his criticism of this book and made the following comment:
“A letter appeared in your page recently in which it was stated that H. Spencer Lewis had written a book on the life of Jesus from data con- tained in the archives of the Rosicrucian Order. It seems rather strange to me that after nearly two thousand years something should turn up that adds anything to our present knowledge on this sub-
ject [305]
THE MYSTICAL LIFE OF JESUS
This idea seemed to form the basis of the ob- jection on the part of a great many readers of the book. Why, they asked, has it taken almost two thousand years for such interesting light on the life of Jesus to find publication? Why, asked others, should we believe that at this late period in history anything new could be found regarding the life of Jesus after thousands of investigators or seekers have spent hundreds of years searching in vain for such matter?
Such questions and critical comments do not deserve extended answers nor explanations. One might say, why would the Forty-niners who went to California from the East find any gold in the hills after the Padres and the Indians and others had spent scores of years vainly hunting for gold? Why should astronomers be scanning the sky even at this very hour in the hope of finding new worlds or new planets after so many years of minute search, that has, seemingly, revealed everything that is to be found? Why believe that there can be any light found that will add to the accumula- tion of human wisdom? And why, may we ask, assume that the matter published in this book is ‘a new and recent discovery of historical facts’? Such a claim is not made for the book or the facts
it contains. The facts contained in this book have [ 306 J
THE MYSTICAL LIFE OF JESUS
been known to and preserved by eminent authors for hundreds of years, and we know that most of these facts have been called to the attention of prominent clergymen of the world for several cen- turies, but these gentlemen refused to publish the facts, refused to add them to the old records, and refused to reveal the new facts in any form. But even if these facts had been discovered only re- cently and just brought to light for the first time in the history of the world, it would not be surpris- ing, nor make the facts appear to be incompatible with truth. Excavations are being made in Egypt and in parts of the Orient today for the purpose of discovering new facts, relating to the past his- tory of man, and the advancement of his philoso- phies and religion. Each year sees new light cast upon the lives of the people and the incidents of history relating to the periods covered in the Chris- tian Bible.
Scores of newspaper clippings have been sent to me along with magazine accounts and other rec ords showing that in various parts of the world research work is being carried on with the hope of finding new facts relating to the life of Jesus and the whole story of creation as contained in the Christian Bible. Expeditions composed of arche- ologists specializing in Biblical research, and of
[307]
THE MYSTICAL LIFE OF JESUS
theologians devoted to the work of translating and making researches into the earliest scriptural rec- ords have gone forth into Palestine and the Near East at great expense, exclusively for the purpose of obtaining more light regarding the periods dealt with in the Christian Bible.
Within recent years such expeditions have brought to light many new tombs and burial places containing indisputable evidence of early Christian burial with certain writings, notations, dates, and other facts which have cast much light upon the life and work of Jesus, and His followers in these countries.
History distinctly tells us that many books of sacred writings were rejected when the present Christian Bible was compiled. Many of these re- jected books have been brought to light, and are found to be of intense interest. More are being found and translated and there is no reason to suppose that all of the facts relating to the life of Jesus have been uncovered by orthodox investi- gators or by others.
It is not strange that the Rosicrucian records have contained these facts for many centuries, and it is not true that the Rosicrucians have wilfully and deliberately concealed these facts, nor held
secret the fact that they possessed ancient records [ 308 J
THE MYSTICAL LIFE OF JESUS
of this kind; but up to recent years the best trans- lators and workers on new variations of the Chris- tian Bible and Christian history have refused to examine the Rosicrucian records or the records contained in the archives of India, Egypt, and other lands, on the basis of either prejudice or ecclesiastical condemnation.
Returning again to the statement made in the forepart of this appendix to the effect that the book has been endorsed by many eminent clergy- men, much to the surprise of the author and the publishers, the author feels that this is the proper place to express his appreciation to these many learned and broad-minded theologians and Chris tian advocates who have written him and thanked him for this new history, and especially for the emphasis that has been given to the mystical side of the life of Jesus. And there are those Christian workers who have used chapters from this book in adult Sunday School lessons, and in Bible Class lectures over a large number of radio stations. In this wise the facts contained in the book have been brought to the attention of many thousands, and a direct result of this has been a deeper and more careful reading and analysis of the pages of the Christian Bible.
The letters of appreciation, endorsement, and
requests for the privilege of quoting from the book [ 309 J
THE MYSTICAL LIFE OF JESUS
in classes and public lectures have been very pleas ing to the author and the publishers, and their sole purpose in issuing this book has been to give these new facts to the world. And if these facts can be given without the necessity of further editions of this book, or the selling of the book, it will bring still greater joy and happiness to author and pub- lishers. The publishers have donated nearly two thousand copies of the book to the largest libraries throughout North America so that millions may have the opportunity to read it. That it will con- tinue to be condemned and criticized is taken for granted, but the criticism of truth cannot destroy it, and there are thousands of Christians in the world today who say that their faith has been strengthened by and through a better and more intimate, as well as more sympathetic, understand- ing of the mystical life of Jesus.

Explanatory V
THE ROSICRUCIAN ORDER V
ANTICIPATING questions which may be asked by the readers of this book, the publishers wish to announce that there is but one universal Rosicrucian Order existing in the world today, united in its various jurisdictions, and having one Supreme Council in accordance with the origi- nal plan of the ancient Rosicrucian manifestoes. The Rosi- crucian Order is not a religious or sectarian society.
This international organization retains the ancient tra- ditions, teachings, principles, and practical helpfulness of the Brotherhood as founded centuries ago. It is known as the Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis, which name for popular use is abbreviated into AMORC. The juris- diction of this Order for The Americas, British Common- wealth and Empire, France, and Africa is located at San Jose, California. Those interested in knowing more of the history and present-day helpful offerings of the Rosi- crucians may have a free copy of the book entitled, The Mastery of Life, by sending a definite request to SCRIBE
