    Rose-Croix Order of Egypt to d i rec t a communicat ion s imilarto this to al l members who had at tained a cer tain degree inthe ir s tudies . T he G rand O rient was the exclusive and onlyRosicrucian adminis t ra t ive body of the Sovereign Sanctuaryof the Rose-Croix of the land of ancient Pyramids and Temples.In commemorat ion of the achievements of the Veneraldes ofthat ancient body, we carry on their wishes in this respect.

    obligations of affi l iation and your devotion to the ideals of theorganizat ion, hut you may always feel that you have been especially selected by the Officers of this jurisdiction as beingworthy of such recogni t ion .

    For centuries , rare teachings, esoteric knowledge, were carefu l ly preserved and secret ly protected in the Treasure Ches tsof our temples in Luxor, Memphis , Hel iopolis , and in the Mystery C ham bers of the P yram ids . G radual ly , m ost of th isknowledge came to he released to adepts ready to carry on theGreater Work of the Brotherhood in the new cycle of rebi r thand world-wide regenerat ion which began with the year knownin the vulgar calendar as 1933.

    One of the great and secret s tudies is that relat ing to the

    esoteric wisdom now contained in the t rue and ancient Kahala .Many erro ne ou s and fa lse versions of th is Sacred and im p ortant s tudy have been issued in various parts of the worldunder the guidance of those who were not Rosicrucian ini t iatesor tru ly ins tructed . In o rd er that the tru e wisdom m ay reachthe worthy s tudents , the Grand Master of th is Grand Orient inEgypt long ago instructed the Secretary in the Sovereign Sanctuary o f this jurisdiction to issue to you and to those otherswho are qual i f ied, a series of well-prepared lessons containingthis special s tu d y of the Kahala.

    These lessons concerning the Ancient Kahala wil l he sent toyou at the rate o f two each m on tho n the f i rs t of the m on th.There shal l he no cos t in the form of compulsory fees a t tachedto the t ransm ission of these sacred lessons to you. How ever,each and every one who receives them wil l be glad to make asmal l monthly voluntary donat ion or cont r ibut ion to the cos to f p re pa r ing and m ailing them . T h is m onth ly vo lun tary donat ion shal l he a nominal amount decided by you in the graciousness of your heart and to such a degree as wil l work nohardship and become no sacrif ice, for these lessons arein tended to he f ree f rom any reward .

    Exper ience has p roved tha t the p repara t ion , p r in t ing andmai l ing of the specia l lec tures , imposes an ext ra burden andexpense on AMORC unless the min imum donat ion made bythe member for these specia l lec tures i s a t leas t $1 .00 (7 /3

    s te r ling) a m onth . W hen the m em ber rece iv ing the Kahaladiscourses can afford a larger donat ion, i t is s incerely appreciated, for i t makes up defici ts .
