PROLOGUE

11]_any of the Neophytes and Members whosat in conference when the copy for this

, brochure was under consideration wereof the opmlOn that it would not be completewithout two additional items. First an Eulogy ofDr. Clymer as a Foreword - to pay tribute tohis many achievements, known and unknown,which have deservedly won him a memorableplace in the history of the August Fraternity andin the annals of the Humanity he has servedwithout making himself personally known. Sec-ond, a compilation of documents representingthe beginning of his activities in his chosen pro-fession and in the Great Work.

The first of these suggestions was rejectedoutright by the Supreme Grand Master. How-ever, the second was considered to be of impor-tance and unobjectionable. Since this brochurehas been prepared for and is limited to thosewithin the Fraternity and is not intended forgeneral circulation, a limited selection of suchdocuments have been incorporated.

Concerning an Eulogy, most of Dr. Clymer'spraiseworthy efforts and accomplishments on thephysical level cannot be divulged. The reasonfor this is immediately apparent. As one of thefew men in America who for many years hasbeen active in countless humanitarian activities,Dr. Clymer has never been in the as aresult of his own choice. Instead, his efforts havebeen exerted sub silencio "from behind the lines"as an undisclosed principal, so to speak. In thisregard, Dr. Clymer believes implicitly in theLaw: "Let not thy left hand know what thyright hand doeth." Long experience, and recentdishonoring of great men, has taught him that

disclosed accomplishments of an important na-ture frequently brings with it sorrow as well ashonor. Those conferring the honor may, if dis-pleased by some other action of the honored, doall within their power to then bring dishonorupon the one honored even though there is noguilt on the part of the honored. Having ex-perienced this frequently during his life, Dr.Clymer has coined the maxim: "One honor,three heartaches." Since it is Dr. Clymer's wishto continue to remain unknown to the masses, anEulogy which did not take into account all ofhis accomplishments would not serve any goodpurpose.

Furthermore, Dr. Clymer has never believedin or advocated the importance of "personal-ities" in so far as individual progress and ad-vancement, Spiritual or otherwise, are concerned.Contrarywise, he is a staunch disciple of theabsoluteness of the Law that man must w.orkout his own salvation through his own consciouseffort and development on all planes - thatman must walk the "straight and narrow" pathalone.

While FAITH is essential, it is FAITH in God;FAITH in the absoluteness and exact Justice ofthe Divine Law; FAITH in the innate (inherentthough dormant) possibilities of the individualself, that is ALONE important. Mere faith in,or blind allegiance to, a "personality" is all toofrequently misleading. If the Great Work, theAugust Fraternity, and its Neophytes and Mem-bers are to continue to progress, come what may,it can only be through FAITH, DESIRE, WILL,EFFORT, and STRICT OBEDIENCE, NOT TO MAN,BUT TO THE LAW.

To build one's life on a personality is to em-phasize the MAN in preference to the LAW withthe consequence that should the MAN fail, allfaith and confidence is frequently lost. The Su-preme Grand Master's admonition to abjurepersonalities and to build upon the Law insteadserves as a further example of his strict adher-ence to, and compliance with, the Law that gov-erns all activities - the Law which he has per-

sonified in every phase of his purposeful life-a life which, we believe, ranks with, if not ex-cells, the greatness of Paracelsus.

With these introductory remarks, we releasethis brochure for the consideration of the Neo-phytes and Members of the Great Work.

A SHORT SKETCHof

R. Swinburne Clymerand

THE FUTURE OF THE GRAND FRATERNITYby FRANK FEDELE, Captain, USAF, Judge Advocate

STORY of Idealism and Realism.and of Facts to be Faced.

To carry the desired impact, my story mustbegin with a series of questions:"How deeply is the Spirit of the Great Workimpressed upon your heart Engraved uponyour Soul? How great is your desire to achievephysical and Spiritual perfection - materialand mental independence - INDIVIDUAlin?Do you wish to live in the New or die with theOld? Give these questions your serious thought.Study and Restudy the Monographs that moti-vated you to enroll in the August Fraternity,and answer to yourseH, your inmost being, andyour God.What effort are you willing to make, are youmaking, to achieve? How much are you will-ing to help that the Great Work may becomeknown to others who are seeking for Realityand· Eternity? How deep is your willingnessto come into the full Spirit (FEELING) of thepeace that is of mind and Soul; the guidanceand protection you and your loved ones needin already apparent devastation - in thechanging from the dead old to the vital, dy-namic NEW? All this You, and you ALONE, canand MUST answer."

There are vital facts that must, for the firsttime in fifty years, be released to all thoseconnected with the GREAT WORK, whetherNeophyte or Initiate.I,- who give birth. to this private-communi-

cation, am in rather a peculiar position - none-

theless a most responsible one. I am, as aremany of you, enrolled in the JEth Priesthood.I also am an Associate of the Confederationof Initiates and, as such, one of the protectorsand supporters of the Great Work. I havebeen singularly privileged to sit in among themembers of the Council of Seven. Lastly, Ihave the honor of being one of the Neophyte-Attorneys for Beverly Hall Corporation,Beverly Hall Foundation, and the Great Work.My responsibility is great. In such capacity Iherein release to you the story as it has beenconfided in me by the Supreme Grand Masterwho has held this high position for half acentury - longer than any other SupremeGrand Master in the history of the 4.ugustFraternity.

The StoryAt the outset, it should benoted that the following is byno means intended to be acomprehensive, detailed bio-graphical report of Dr.

. Clymer. Such coverage is farbeyond the scope of this message. Moreover,to the recipient of this semi-private communi-cation, Dr. Clymer is not a stranger and needsno introduction or "build up". Rather thepurpose is to highlight some of the principleswhich have been exemplified by Dr. Clymer -the Man, the Physician, the Philosopher, the

[ 9 ]

FIFTY YEARS OF SERVICE

Teacher, the Master; to emphasize the factthat Dr. Clymer has devoted his entire lifeto the many activities of the August Fraternity,including all of his wordly possessions; topoint up the fact that as the result of Dr.Clymer's unceasing and devoted efforts of thepast fifty years, the August Fraternity has,nationally and internationally, been placedupon a united, firm, solid foundation - aposition not heretofore equalled.Lastly, to realize and emphasize that as the

last and most difficult phase of Dr. Clymer'swork approaches, it is his fervent hope, desire,and aim to provide ways and means for theuninterrupted continuation and further progressof the August Fraternity even after his pass-ing (temporary absence) and; especially, dur-ing the impending perilous transitional stageof passing from the old dispensation to theNew Age - all in accordance with the Biblicalinjunction that we "set our house in order".

Contact With the Great WorkR. CLYMER'S contact with the WhiteBrotherhood occurred early in his life.In his work OCCULT SCIENCE, Dr.

Clymer tells of his meeting with Dr. L. H.Anderson, who was then active in teachingOccult and Allied Science, and of the interestthe Arcane philosophy then aroused in him.However; he fails to mention that while study-ing medicine several of his instructors, the Drs.Bland in particular, were practicing and teach-ing the then new Science - Osteopathy, andthat because 0.£ the close friendship existingbetween them, they instructed him during hisspare time in this method of treatment.Upon graduating from the College of Med-

icine and Surgery in Chicago in 1902, Dr.ISee Deposition by Leopold H. R. Hibbey, visiting physician tothe Sanitarium-College while Doctor Clymer was Superintendent.2After passage of legislation in Pennsylvania regulating thepractice of Osteopathy, Dr. Clymer was the first to register asan QsteoP1-.th .ig the_Coun-!Jes of Bucks andI.ehigh.3See reproduction of Certificate of record.4See .reproduction of Copyright Certificates.

Clymer had no visible means' of starting inmedical practice. However, shortly before, agraduate of that school, then living in NewYork City, had opened a Sanitarium for thetreatment of disease by natural methods, in-cluding Osteopathy, and had secured a StateCharter1 for that purpose and for the teachingof such natural methods of Osteopathy.2 Byrecommendation of Drs. Bland, Dr. Clymerwas invited to go to New York following hisgraduation to become Superintendent at theSanitarium. This position he accepted, andthereby further carried on the study ofOsteopathy. Dr. Clymer remained in suchcapacity until he was ready to embark uponhis own private practice of medicine.

The Beginning of an Active Life

m·· LTHOUGH prior thereto Dr. Clymer hadregistered as a physician in three states,Michigan, Oklahoma, and Arkansas;

he decided to return to his native Pennsylvaniawhere he also registered as a physician.3 Atthat point Dr. Clymer commenced upon a twofold activity. He registered as a physician sothat he might practice medicine to earn a livingfor his family; and, at the same time, he startedhis work for the August Fraternity, in accord-ance with his vow, by putting to press for pri-vate distribution his text: THE ROSICRUCIANS;THEIR TEACHINGS. This was in 1904.From then on, his activities in Esoteric affairs

increased. In 1906 his regular edition of THEROSICRUCIANS; THEIR TEACHINGS and PHI-LOSOPHY OF FIRE were published.4 Thesebooks found ready acceptance, have passedthrough many editions, and today are standardtexts. The ensuing prolific and incomparablewritings of Dr. Clymer are a matter of record.It is estimated that during the past fifty years

the adherents to the philosophy who have beentaught by Dr. Clymer personally and by means

A GOLDEN SPIRITUAL ANNIVERSARY

of his various texts number more than 3,000,000,many of whom hold positions in high places.This number is now rapidly increasing, and isdue, in part, to his undeviating Americanismand his faith that the true American spirit willstand firm against all destructive and debasingideologies and will finally prevail.

Dr. Clymer's Many Journeys

In furtherance of the GreatWork, Dr. Clymer has trav-elled extensively abroad. Hehas journeyed throughout Cen-tral and South America onseveral occasions and frequent-

ly through Europe where he was highly hon-ored. In addition, since 1929 he has made yearlytrips encircling the United States, holding meet-ings with fellow workers and students in all ofthe larger cities. These tours are continuedyearly. He has met and consulted with all ofthose engaged in the Work dear to his heart.As a result, all of the authentic Esoteric organi-zations throughout the world are under hisjurisdiction as Director General of the Uni-versal Confederation of Initiates.5 He has metwith many of the great in all parts of the world,but has never made use of this for publicity orpersonal vanity - nor does he ever intend todo so.Dr. Clymer is the oldest practitioner of Die-

tetics in America today. He was the first to pub-lish in his book Dietetics6 the fact that foodcontains a Vital principle, now known as Vita-mins, and Organic Mineral elements essentialto body functioning; and that by proper dietmany diseases can be prevented and others cured.For this he was dubbed a ((fake" and a "char-latan". However, time has vindicated him com-pletely.

5La Federation UnitJerselle Des Ordres, Sodetes Et FralernitesDes lnities.6Dietetics, 1909; and Dietetics, 1917.

Dr. Clymer is likewise the oldest practicingEndocrinologist in America, still specializing inthe treatment of weaknesses, illness, and phys-ical and mental abnormalities by mea,ns of vari-ous glandular substances and by the properdirection of Vital, Spiritual, Physical-SpiritualAtomic forces inherent, but generally dormant,in man. In this, also, he was earlier dubbed acharlatan and worse. Again, time has fully sup-ported him. Since then, prominent men andwomen from nearly every country in the worldhave come to consult him.

An as yet Unaccepted Mighty FactThe work dearest to Dr. Clymer's heart,

started by him nearly fifty years ago and other-wise known as Stirpiculture, has been named byhim as PRENATAL INFLUENCE. In brief, he be-lieves and has taught that the mother-to-be hasit in her power to give birth to physicallyhealthy, mentally normal children - SUPER-MEN, and that if mothers-to-be would followsimple instructions, their sons and daughterswill in fact be perfect physical, mental, Spiritualoffspring.In this manner only is it possible to bring

forth and incarnate those who will be the citi-zens of the New Dispensation - worthy mem-bers of the New Order of the Ages. Thus, truestatesmen, diplomats and leaders who will becompetent and able to devote all their time andenergies toward the fulfilment of the prophesiesof the greatness of America and the welfare ofthe people, will become an actuality. These in-structions are embodied in his manual PRENATALCULTURE.

Fundamental Truths Taught in GenesisFTER fifty years of study, travel, and ex-perience, Dr. Clymer is convinced morefirmly than ever that Race or blood

purity is an absolute essential to the attainmentof the highest degree of development not onlyfor the individual but for the countrY alike. He

Dr. Clymer maintains it as a truth, self evi-dent, that ALL who are American in spirit andworthy of the benefits of being citizens of thisgreat country of ours must revere the Americanflag first, last, and always as a symbol of in-dividual liberty and a willingness to die for thepreservation of the American Constitution andall that it truly stands for. To deviate a jot ortittle from this uncompromising spirit of loyaltyand devotion will cast upon America the shadowof eventual doom of all past great nations.

An Example of Supreme Faith.... R. CLYMER has held the office of Su-

preme Grand Master of the AugustFraternity longer than any other per-

son in the history of the Great Work. He hasdevoted his energy and material resources morecompletely than any of his predecessors andproposes to continue to do so as long as lifeprevails. For all this, he feels that he has beenfully blessed in exchange.In all of the years of his Neophyteship and

service, and through all his experience withcountless thousands of Neophytes, Dr. Clymerhas never doubted or lost faith in the infalla-bility of the Great Work to help man developand bring into manifestation his God-given pos-sibilities and potentialities.Dr. Clymer is recognized today as the world's

greatest authority on the Occult, Esoteric andArcane. His name appears in WHO IS WHO andWHO IS WHO IN THE EAST.IDEALISM AND REALISM

Idealism: More than fiftyyears ago, shortly after Dr.Clymer became interested inthe August Fraternity, heformed an ideal- a compre-hensive picture of what his

life should be - of his goal in life. Above allelse, it was his resolve to dedicate his ·life onearth to the Great Work and to devote all his

7Genesis 24:1-9; Gt;nesis 28:1-2; Deuteronomy 7:3; Joshia 23:12.;.Ezra-9:1-15. .8Dr. Clymer is a direct descendent of George Clymer a signerof the Declaration of Independence. '

bases this on Biblical inculcations7 and the teach-ings of history. The man who loses his racepride begins to deteriorate. This applies to allraces as well as individuals. All the great na-tions of the past have fallen into decadence dueto this disobedience of the Natural and DivineLaw.Dr. Clymer is adamant in his belief in the

teachings of Revelations that this is the last ageof the present man; and that if America is notmade the New Order of the Ages by Americans,in the spirit of America, chaos will result.

America and the New Order of the AgesDr. Clymer believes thatAmerica is the BiBlical prom-ised land, that the founderswho wrote the Constitutionwere Divinely guided, andthat this now is the beginning

of the New Order of the Ages. However, thisNew Order is possible only if the Divine Lawis obeyed and the ideals of our founding fatherscarried out without distortion or deviation. Ifthis is not done, then America, like other coun-tries, will fall into decadence and mankind willbe eliminated by the reaction of infringementupon Divine Law.Dr. Clymer is intensely Nationalistic - a

trait inherited from his ancestors8 and furtherimbued by the spirit of the members of thefirst American Council. He firmly maintainsthat both American born and those coming fromother countries should completely embrace theAmerican Spirit- One Ideal; One Loyalty;One Country, and One Flag - so that theAmerica of the Ancient Biblical prophesy maybecome a reality and that the New Order of theAges be here establisned. This, of course, isutterly impossible by divided allegiance.

resources, whatever their nature, for the bene-fit of the Great Work; all after the fashion ofthe great Initiates of old: WITHOUT COMPEN-SATION.Realism: Consequently, Dr. Clymer devel-

oped a plan for the establishment of a Centerfrom which would issue all instructions andbooks dealing with the Great Work. At thisCenter would be collected books of all ages deal-ing with the Great Work for the use and bene-fit of advanced students, scholars, and researchworkers, especially so during that period whichhe foresaw when all-out attempts would bemade to destroy such books.Furthermore, this was to be a Center where

all Neophytes showing sincere interest mightcongregate for study and instructions. Finally,this Center was to provide a situs for a MemorialGarden wherein might be placed the ashes ofNeophytes and thus serve as an additional at-traction to the returning Souls of such Neo-phytes so that they might begin their study andtraining toward perfection almost as soon asthey return to earth. All this is now, of course,a matter of reality.Toward the accomplishment of these objec-

tives, Dr. Clymer has used all his financial re-sources gained from the practice of medicine.He purchased the land, developed it, and per-sonally planned and supervised all constructionthereon. This property, which today is estimatedto be worth more than $200,000.00, was latertransferred to the Beverly Hall Foundation onthe payment of the legal consideration of a sin-gle dollar. Mrs. Gertrude Clymer - his secre-tary, constant companion, and earnest co-worker- was in complete accord with this.

Fifty Years of EffortDRING all of the fifty years, Dr. Clymerhas planned, developed, and been over-seer to what is now Beverly Hall Es-

tate. He has propagated most of its fine shrubs

and personally done all the landscaping, thussaving the August Fraternity thousands uponthousands of dollars in buying plants and muchmore by not requiring the pay of an overseer.

It is estimated that the royalties on books, hadDr. Clymer collected or accepted them, wouldamount to a fortune. Yet, he never accepted acent of it, but donated it all to the Great Work.

Up until 1944, the Work was far from beingself-supporting. It was, therefore, necessary forDr. Clymer to donate all income earned fromhis practice of medicine, with the exception ofwhat little he and M'rs. Clymer needed for liv-ing expenses, to the Work in order to coverexpenses.

Beginning in 1905, Dr. Clymer has devotedthe greater part of his time, efforts, and laborto the work of the August Fraternity, and in allof that time up to the immediate present he hasnever received one cent in salary or any otherform of compensation. He proposes to continueto follow this regime until his days on earthare at an end.

From the very beginning it had been Dr. Cly-mer's dream that there would be many Neo-phytes who, on his demise, would be willing tocarry on as he has done. In this, he has beendisappointed. In earlier years and up to thefirst World War, there were numerous oneswho qualified and who would have been willingto serve for a fair compensation but not willingto follow the example of a true Initiate JEthPriest. Reasons for this are many. Since thesecond World War, there are few willing toassume the isolation and responsibility unlessthey would receive compensation comparable tothat to be had in other avenues of activity. Ifthe Great Work is to continue and we are toserve humanity, this must be prepared for assoon as possible.

[ 17 ]


UNEVADABLE FACTS TO BE FACEDPrior to 1905 the carrying onof the Great Work was self-suporting. This was due to thefact that there was no expenseinvolved in the issuance of in-structions, publication of books,

and in the operation and maintenance of a head-quarters, libraries, buildings, structures, gardensand other activities, as none of these were inexistence. In those days Neophytes were issuedno lessons of instructions, had no Center wherethey could meet, study, or be interviewed, butinstead, they were taught by selected, preparedinstructors who depended solely on old manu-scripts and important Drills.Beginning with 1908 the Work as a whole

has not been self-supporting even though nosalaries or royalties on books were paid. It hasbecome less so each year due to one cause only- the constantly increasing cost of all materialsrequired for books and lessons, postage, and, inthe case of Convocations both at headquartersand in other parts of the country, the expenseof help and travelling. Despite these rising costs,the contract obligation of students was never in-creased. This is so even though in many in-stances scholarship donations have not, and can-not cover more than about one-fifth of the ex-penses involved.

The Support of Loyal MembersThe deficiencies in the past have been made

up by donations of loyal students, tithes, and bythe receipt of In this respect, Au-gust Fraternity is in no sense different fromother great educational institutions. It is a mat-ter of common knowledge that these great andlasting institutions also find that the tuition or

scholarship donations received never furnishenough income to meet the current legitimateexpenses involved.In truth and in fact, the very life line of their

existence is the result of LOVE, RESPECT, ANDREVERENCE manifested by those who, motivatedby the desire to see such institutions grow, do-nate freely to them by means of tithes, insur-ance, and legacies.The resulting greatness of these institutions

is an accomplishment in which their benefactorscan and do justifiably share. So, too, with theGreat Work and the August Fraternity. The"life line" of its existence and growth dependsupon the voluntary contributions of those whohave become so closely connected in Spirit andFeeling - so fused with the essence of the GreatWork and August Fraternity - that they re-quire no testimonial of the fact that growth andprogress of the whole (the Great Work and theAugust Fraternity) necessarily means corres-ponding growth and progress of all its com-ponent parts (its active and participating mem-bers).THAT HE WHO GIVES MUST INVARIABLY

RECEIVE is an absolute Law. It applies to allconnected with the Great Work. and GrandFraternity. Dr. Clymer has proven its applica-tion and truth during all of his fifty years ofservice. St. Francis of Assisi has expressed itin most simple terms in a Prayer, quoted, IIIpart, as follows:"Lord, grant that I may seek rather"To comfort - than to be comforted;"To understand - than to be understood·,"To love - than to be loved;"For"It is by giving - that one receives"...

The Spirit of Devotion Made ManifestnHUS, the continuation of the Great Work,. . and, in particular, the erection of the-. .. buildings at Beverly Hall and the workaccomplished in foreign countries, has been pos-sible only by the frequent donations and tithesof those whose hearts are fully in the Work.

The problems to be faced in the not too dis-tant future are numerous. Among them is thenatural fact that Dr. Clymer must expect thetransition. When that happens some one whomay not have an income derived from a bus-iness or profession must take his place, and itis certain that, under present conditions, provi-sion must be made for his fair compensation.There must also be some one assuming responsi-bility of the property, libraries, and gardens, andthis requires one with experience and love forsuch work. In addition, other paid help may berequired to take over the numerous variedduties presently performed by the SupremeGrand Master.

Comparisons Point Out a Great Lesson

IINAMERICA today there are perhaps mil-lions of men and women who belong toclubs to which they pay in membership

fees or dues of one sort or another from onehundred to one thousand dollars a year forwholly physical pleasures. In the Great Work,where attention is not only given to the physicalbut to the Spiritual- in fact, to the whole ofman, we have not even had protective dues.Nor have we had the monthly or quarterly do-nations practically all church members make totheir church. The fact is that Neophytes andmembers have assumed no financial responsibil-ity, and hence could not always expect the phys-ical and Spiritual benefits they would otherwiseenjoy (assured them by the Law) had theymade such dona-tions. This should be correctedand a plan instituted where, by means of volun-

tary contributions and donations, sufficient fundswould be provided to compensate the succeed-ing Supreme Grand Master who must givebody, heart, and Soul to the Work, and theoverseer whose duty it will be to look after thevaluable buildings, gardens, and property of theFraternity.

There should be built up, beginning at once,a "sinking" or "protective" fund. This can beaccomplished by direct donation and throughthe media of life insurance policies and legacies.This fund would be used for the protection andpreservation of all that pertains to the GreatWork should a pe .od of SILENCE become neces-sary. During this' period of devastation, theSupreme Grand Master would secretly lookafter the interests of the Neophytes, the over-seer and assistants would protect and preservethe properties, and the Supreme Grand Masterand the Council of Seven will continue, carryon, promote, guard, and protect all activities andinterests of the Great Work. This is actually amatter of self (and famliy) protection as muchas of the Great Work itself. Such a period mustbe expected, and well it will be for those whoNow arrange in Heart, Soul, and Fact for thattime.

The Minimum Need

Dr. Clymer feels that theyearly donation should be noless than $25.00, and as muchmore as possible - this beingless than the average memberof a church donates to the

church of his choice. The direct donation to afuture protective fund must be by twothings: First, the Neophyte's or Member's de-sire and love for the Great Work; and Second,his material means. This plan should be en-tirely voluntary and should not in any way af-fect or increase the contract obligation of the

[ 19 ]


Neophyte or student. Those Neophytes andMembers who tithe monthly or make frequentdonations, have been, according to their ownstatements, greatly blessed in peace of Soul,well-being, and materially. "As we sow [give],so \will ye reap [receive]" is an absolute Law,not merely a Biblical statement.

USet Thy House in Order" an Absolute Law

This, my brother, has been de-clared by Dr. Clymer to bealmost a Last Will and Testa-ment. But the good book sayswe "should .set our house inorder"- who has loved

the August Fraternity so well and served to thebest of his ability, would be remiss if he did notdo all in his power to place it upon as firm afoundation as possible so that it may continue toserve humanity.This is the message. It is my duty and pleas-

ure to convey it to you. In view of the increas-ing political and economic unrest in the nationaland international affairs of not only our countrybut that of all nations, it may be that in thecourse of time the carrying on of the GreatWorkmay be seriously endangered and threatened byreason of financial inadequacies and difficulties,the temporary loss of a Supreme Grand Master,and!or by reason of other emergencies or extra-ordinary world conditions beyond our control.To cope with any and all of these conditions,

the creation of a "protective fund" suggested bythe Supreme Grand Master is imperative andits importance cannot be over-emphasized. Theneed is urgent, the time for action is Now.The Supreme Grand Master was factually

correct in characterizing such a message as a"Last Will and Testament", for in it he hasbequeathed to us the instrumentality by andthrough which we, individually and fraternally,may serve our God, our Country, our families,ourselves, and, not least, humanity, during thepresent troublesome days which, among otherthings, is witnessing the ushering in of the NewDispensation - The New Order of the Ages.Ours is the enviable honor of being an agencyfor GOOD at a time when its need is preeminent.Acceptance of the proposed plan is a matter

which, of course, rests with each one ot us indi-vidually. Your reaction and desires may bestated on the enclosed sheet which can be com- _pleted in a few minutes. This is to be returneddirectly to Beverly Hall Corporation where itwill become a permanent record of the Fra-ternity.

With fraternal good wishes,FRANK FEDELE, Captain, USAF,
