Printed by the Fellowship Press ! The Building of the Ecclesia THE LAYING OF THE CORNERSTONE OF THE ROSICRUCIAN FELLOW SHIP TEMPLE OF HEALING AT NOON ON JULY 23rd, 1920. In ancient days, when a temple of worship was to be built, the ground or area apportioned to the building was garlanded with flowers upon a day set by the astrologers. "There is A TIME for everything under the sun," and the as trologers sought to determine the propitious conditions under which to launch the sacred work. Upon the day and at the hour set, soldiers of renown only, bearing branches I of trees, entered the enclosure. The branches were emblematic of a fortunate and fruitful conclusion to the work. The soldiers were followed by the vestal virgins jjj the in urns by boys and girls. jG who, praying, sprinkled place with water brought S Then came the priests and dignitaries of state, followed by citizens hauling the jjj garlanded cornerstone. After the Praetor had laid hands upon the ropes about the jjj ll stone, the masons set it in place, and the Pontiff, consecrating it to its use, exhorted g the people to serve and fear the gods and obey the law. g | a 3 The stone was always set in the north-eastern corner of the temple, analogous to the at the summer solstice, when all living things the place of sun's greatest power jO jj] 3 are most vitalized by his rays. jjj S is unique U Now we come to another "laying of the cornerstone," but one that and it a hundred S in that ushers in new era in the Christian religion. For nineteen the has in obedience to our S twenty years church struggled to "preach the gospel" Saviour's command. Now the Rosicrucian Fellowship lifts high the banner with the second command, "Heal the sick" as a spur to our Christian mission, and "lays the cornerstone" of a Temple of Healing consecrated in Christ to serve our suffer ing fellowman. Soldiers there were, at this laying of the cornerstone, soldiers of Christ, with the CROSS engraven upon their hearts; soldiers who dug trenches, praying—for no profane language must desecrate this work. Vestal virgins, youths, maidens, and little children brought offerings, bur. their offerings were all unseen to mortal eye. But those "who have eyes to see" the things of the Spirit, could dis cern the offerings of those who serve God "in Spirit and in Truth." The hallowed place of the Temple was radiant with the outpouring of blessings from the ' ' hosts of the unseen"" who realize the spiritual importance of the step taken. The devoted little band of followers of the CHRISTIAN ROSE CROSS responded with silent in ner dedication of the SELF to the service of Christ as Divine Healer : silent prayers for strength to purify the SELF from all unworthiness, in order that the healing power of the Lord might flow through us as clean channels for His work.
