Froin Spell to Prayer. 1 65

Dr. Frazer's abstract contrast of magic and religion is a case in point. But abstraction needs to be qualified by abstraction that the ideal whole may at length be envisaged as a unity of many phases. My object throughout has been to show that^ if from one point of view magic and religion must be held apart in thought, from another point of view they may legitimately be brought together.
