Dancing and religion have long
been united. Samuel tells you
David danced before the Lord
He well might, for his rise was
rapid from lightweight champion,
conqueror of Goliath, to ruler over
Israel.
Dancing has its proper place,
see Ecclesiastes, third chapter,
fourth verse, slime to weep, and a
time to laugh, a time to mourn,
and time to dance"
The next verse says there is also
"a time to embrace, and time to
refrain from embracing" That
should be remembered in these
j. wild dancing days.

to discontinue burning themselves
alive with the corpses OF their
own husbands. He .idn't forbid it,
only made law that before being
burned alive the young widow
should pass couple Of hours with
the handsomest young man in the
village.
After that for some strange
reason, the widow usually lost in.
