1t is probable that the new dances
will be initiative OF military pomp
and parade. These will necessarily
have to be set to especially marked
music. Some dancing masters, II Is
said, advocate the inclusion of strict
military steps in the dances. This
will mean that the dance music will
be set to slow time, probably a waltz.

and was a city of refuge. Here at
Jacobs well Jesus met the woman OF
Samara. Here the great Justin Martyr

into two Kingdoms Shechem became
the religious center of the northern
