THE OPEN COURi; 



An Illustrated Monthly Magazine 



Devoted to the Science of Belision, The 

 Religion of Science and the Extension 

 of The Beligious Parliament Idea 



THE OPEN COURT is a popular 

 magazine discussing the deepest 

 questions of life. It offers the 

 maturest thought in the domains of 

 Religion, Philosophy, Psychology, Evo- 

 lution and kindred subjects. 



THE OPEN COURT contains articles 

 on the recent discoveries of Babylonian 

 and Egyptian excavations, on Old 

 Testament Research, the Religion of 

 the American Indians, Chinese culture, 

 Brahmanism, Buddhism, Mithraism — 

 in short anything that will throw light 

 on the development of religion and 

 especially on Christianity. 



THE OPEN COURT investigates the 

 problems of God and Soul, of life and 

 death and immortality, of conscience, 

 duty, and the nature of morals, the 

 ethics of political and social life — 

 briefly all that will explain the bottom 

 facts of Religion and their practical 

 significance. The illustrations though 

 artistic are instructive and frequently 

 reproduce rare historical pictures.
