Pentecost and published by the Twentieth Century Publishing Company out of New York City. A magazine measuring 8-7/8" by 12-1/4" and containing 24 pages including front and rear covers. With eight pages of vintage advertisements, contents of this issue include: Editorials by Hugh O. Pentecost entitled "Ideality of Medical Science" and "Brain and Character" (discussing the cases of William Nelson and Darwin Dingman, both of whom suffered brain damage; "These stories, and scores of others like them which the books contain - would seem to indicate that mind and character are determined by the formation of the brain and the possession of a certain other organ. If such should ultimately prove to be the case, what would become of the mental and the moral aristocracy? What would become of that hypothesis which regards mind and character as existences apart from the body?"); "An Unfair Criticism" by Michael Flurscheim (on criticisms received in an article in the December 16, 1891 issue of Henry George's publication "Standard" by its Editor Louis F. Post); "The Diamond Rule: A Short Study" by W. W. Carrington (thoughts on the golden rule; "'Do to others as you'd have them do to you.' This, its most zealous exponents admit, must be taken spiritually; for should others be treated literally as we wish to be, they might be deplorably killed. So they say the rule really means: 'Do to others mutatis mutandis as you'd have them do to you'; that is, do to others as you'd have them do to you if you were they and they were you and you in their fix, they in yours. Now, we think this intelligible, but on analysis it turns out about as luminous as the most opaque mud"); "Mr. [Hugh O.] Pentecost's Collapse" by Henry Frank of the Society of Human Progress ("It is a good indication that an opponent is reaching the thin end of his argument when he exclaims as Mr. Pentecost does in his last reply to me: 'Mr. Frank does not understand me' and 'Mr. Frank is a lunatic'"); Fiction - Chapter XIX of "The Journal of a Scientist During a Voyage to the Planet Mars" by Samuel H. King; Our Weekly News-Letter; lengthy "A Reply to W.C. [William Charles] Owen's Criticism of [Charles] Sotheran's 'Horace Greeley and Other Pioneers of American Socialism'" by the author himself, Charles Sotheran [who was one of the first members of the Theosophical Society].

It is impossible to enumerate the nine hundred and ninety-two charities in it. Let us take some which are types. You will find your own pet charity is not different. The 'Fresh Air Fund' is a charming charity, well managed, and on a grand scale. A newspaper has taken eighty-two thousand children out for two weeks each in the last five years, at a cost of three hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars. Suppose the other funds have done as much. Suppose they have done ten times as much. Still the little ones die like rats in the sewers.
