“Thanks to Dr. Rivers’s energy and care we have a complete and scientific account of one of the most significant phenomena in the history of that varied organism, religion. A monument of industry and care, not without insight, and the results of comparative study, and is an invaluable record of which Cambridge and the new anthropology may be proud.” A. E. Crawley.

Plot and action abound in this story of confused identity. In his college days, only four years past, the Reverend Harry Sanderson was known to his fellows as Satan Sanderson. There crosses his path one day an old associate, Hugh Stires, the degenerate son of St. James’ richest parishioner, and so closely resembling Sanderson as to cause all the trouble that ensues. The ghosts of the past appear, but are downed by the invincible might of the young rector. The degenerate weds the woman Sanderson loves, proves unworthy of her, and throws himself upon Sanderson’s mercy, and the latter in attempting to save him meets with an accident that robs him of his memory. The climax and the fall grow out of the confusion of identity that follows, and a ne’er-do-well’s one impulse of manhood.
