g to help themselves we maintain a
Correspondence Class in Astrology, but make no mistake, we do not teach
fortune-telling; if that is what you are looking for, we have nothing for
you.

OUR LESSONS ARE SERMONS

They embody the highest moral and spiritual principles, together with the
loftiest system of ethics, for Astrology is, to us, a phase of religion;
we never look at a horoscope without feeling that we are in a holy
presence, face to face with an immortal soul, and our attitude is one of
prayer for light to guide that soul aright.

WE DO NOT CAST HOROSCOPES

Despite all we can say, many people write enclosing money for horoscopes,
forcing us to spend valuable time writing letters of refusal and giving us
the trouble of returning their money. Please do not thus annoy us; it will
avail you nothing.

THE COURSE IN CHRISTIAN MYSTICISM

_Christ_ taught the multitude in _parables_, but explained the _mysteries_
to His disciples. _Paul gave milk_ to the babes, but _meat_ to the strong.

Max Heindel, the founder and leader of the Rosicrucian Fellowship,
endeavored to follow in their steps and give to interested and devoted
students a _deeper teaching_ than that promulgated in public.

For that purpose we conduct a correspondence course in _Christian
Mysticism_. The General Secretary may admit applicants to the preliminary
course, but _advancement_ in the deeper degrees depends upon merit. It is
for those alone who have been _tried_, and found true.

HOW TO APPLY FOR ADMISSION

Anyone who is not engaged in fortune-telling or similar methods of
commercializing spiritual knowledge will, upon request, receive an
application blank from the General Secretary, Rosicrucian Fellowship. When
this blank is returned properly filled, he may admit the applicant to
instruction in either or both correspondence courses.

THE COST OF THE COURSE

There are no fixed fees; no esoteric instruction is ever put in the
balance against coin. At the same time, it cannot be given "_free_," "_for
nothing_," for those who work to promulgate it must have the necessities
of life. Type, paper, machinery and postage also cost money, and _unless
you pay your part someone else must pay for you_.

There are a few who cannot contribute, and who need these teachings as
much or more than those who may take comfort from financial ease or
affluence. If they make their condition known, they will receive as much
attention as the largest contributors
