At the Scottish Rite Temple tomorrow night the Pristine Church

of the Rose Cross will have its opening ceremony. This church

is sponsored by the Rosicrucian Brotherhood of America but is a

separate institution, having branches in the largest cities of the

United States. The first Pristine Church is located in Isis

Temple, New York, and the one now established in this city will

hold services regularly each Sunday evening.

The ritual of the regular ceremonies is based upon the old

Temple ceremonies of the Orient, with choir and officers in

symbolical robes and the music especially written for these

services. A modern sermon is given at each convocation. The

church is non sectarian and does not seek to make converts in

any cult.
