The early strife between Christianity and Paganism has recently been reflected in a prolix discussion of Survivals. The Church is accused of sheltering Paganism in her rites and tenets by disguising beathen practices and beliefs under Christian forms, while the vindicators of an independent Christianity reject as false or inadequate the analogies drawn in support of this accusation. The aim of the present paper is to examine one section of these analogies, that is, those which are founded on resemblances between the names of saints and of pagan deities.

Jahrhundert) ist man freilich weiter gegangen, und hat entweder aus dem alten Gott kurzweg einen Heiligen gemacht wie den heiligen Dionysios aus Dionysos, oder aber einen in der Legende oder auch im Namen irgendwie entsprechender Heiligen an die Stelle des Gottes gesetzt.’

He determined to go where it was not known what the sea or boats were. Shouldering an oar, he went on asking people what it was. When he came to the top of a hill he was told it was wood. He saw that they had never seen boats or the sea, and he stayed on the hilltops.’
