To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Who the spirits are Dr. Nassau does not say, but they must be either the other gods of the place or the fetich spirits. And the reason why Anzam is no longer believed to help or harm the natives is obviously that, from some cause or other, there is now no longer any established form of worship of him. The community of which he was originally the god may have broken up, or more probably may have been broken up, with the result that the congrega- tion which met to offer prayer and sacrifice to ...Anzam was scattered; and the memory of him alone survives. Nothing would be more natural, then, than that the natives, when asked by Dr. Nassau, "Why do you not worship him?" (p. 38), should invent a reason, viz. That it is no use worshipping PRAYER 171 him now — the truth being that the form of wor- ship has perished for reasons now no longer present to the natives' mind. In any case, when prayers cease to be offered — whether because the com- munity is broken up or because some new quarter is discovered to which prayers can be offered with greater hope of success — when prayers, for any reason, do cease to be offered to a god, the worship of him begins to cease also, for the breath of life has departed from it.
