The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

THE EQUINOX traction also exists, a marriage will result in perfect happi- ness. (There are special considerations in this matter which apply to the VII° and cannot be discussed in this place.) 62. As explained above, Brethren are entirely free of most legal burdens, since lawsuits are not permitted within the Order, and since they may call upon the legal advisers of the Order to defend them against their enemies in case of need. EIGHTH HOUSE 63. All Brethren are entitled after death to the proper dis- posal of their remains according to the rites of the Order and their grade in it. 64. If the Brother so desire, the entire amount of the fees and subscriptions which he has paid during his life will be handed over by the Order to his heirs and legatees. The Order thus affords an absolute system of insurance in addi- tion to its other benefits. NINTH HOUSE 65. The Order teaches the only perfect and satisfactory system of philosophy, religion, and science, leading its mem- bers step by step to knowledge and power hardly even dreamed of by the profane. 66. Brethren of the Order who take long journeys over- seas are received in places where they sojourn at the Pro- fess-Houses of the Order for the period of one month. TENTH HOUSE 67. Women of the Order who are about to become mothers receive all care, attention, and honour from all Brethren. 222
