PROSPERITY IN
CATHOLIC BELGIU NJ
LARGELY DUE TO THE ACTIVITY
OF THE cLERGY-BELGIUM is
AN ANSWER TO THE "PROTES-
TANTISM AND PROSPERITY"
TRADITION.

The amazing prosperity of Belgium
and it's remarkable social organization
have often attracted the attention of
modern writer's, says the Reverend
Charles Platter, S. J. That staunch
little country is a model to Europe and
a source of particular satisfaction to
Catholics all over the world. 1t sup
plies us with short and convincing
answer to an argument which is con-
stantly being used against the Church
The whole fabric of the Protestant
ism and Prosperity" tradition may be
sent topping over by the single word
Nevertheless even Catholics are sell
dom aware of the extent to which the
present prosperity of Belgium is due
to her clergy.
Take for instance the important
matter of agriculture. Professor Max
Turmann has described how that great
agricultural association known as the
"Boerenbond" was founded by a
Flemish cure, the Able Mellaerts 1t
now numbers so branches and 50,814
members. But the work of the Able
Mellaerts did not stop here. He intro
duced the system of Raiffeisen Banks
into Belgium.
Credit Banks.
Today these banks are spread all
over Belgium and number several hun
dreds. The first was started at Ril-
laer, struggling agricultural village
of Belgian Brabant in 1892 Hitherto
the agricultural organizations there
had done nothing to furnish the farm
ers with what they needed most of
all-credit for buying manures and
implements and, most of all, cattle.
The Able Mellaerts soon. discovered
this need and gave a lecture to the
agricultural society on the advantages
of Raiffeisen bank. The small farm
ers were compliant enough; not so the
large proprietors of the village. But
meetings were held and conferences
arranged and finally on September %,
the date Of the foundation of the bank,
81 persons were enrolled as members;
by July l, 1901, this number had in
creased to 164. From the very begin
ming it enjoyed the entire confidence
of the people. Many time the Presi-
dent has received visits from shabbily
dressed farm hands. Sir he would
be told, 81 have got 900 francs. / have
never dared to trust them to anybody;
but now I think they will be better
here than in my garden and from
under his blouse the peasant would
take a dirty little bag containing 100
five franc pieces. 'They were redol-
ent Of the SOIL the President tells
us, sand the table upon which they
were counted was covered with sand. >
Economically a success the Raft
feisen Bank of RilIaer has also helped
towards the religious and moral uplift-
ing of the parish. All the members
of the bank and those who profit by
it take part in the annual procession
of the Blessed Sacrament, organize
yearly three general Communions, and

Catholics may be engaged in the
liquor business in great numbers, but
it is not with the consent or approba-

opposed to the traffic, for she has felt
severely it's dreadful effects on her
children.

I'm interested in Eldridge, colonel,
and have a great deal of sympathy for
him. l think he should be permitted to
resign rather than be disgraced. His
trouble is that before he gets on the
battle madness we all need to make us
brave the strain on his nerves is too
much for him"
Nonsense! Eldridge is a coward,
and that's all there is about it. He's
been tried for it; it has been proved
on him, and he has been cashiered.

flinches shall be served in the same
way"
The doctor said nothing for a few
moments. He seemed to be turning
something yer in his mind. Presently
he said:
Colonel, If I can prove you a coward
will you permit Eldridge to resignY"
what? Prove me a coward"!
"That's what l said. No disrespect,
colonel. We are all towards instinc-

How are you going to prove it,"
IF you will wait here a few minutes
l will bring the means Of doing So"
The doctor arose, went to his tent
and brought back with him q bottle of
clear white glass in which was a little
rattlesnake. The reptile eyed the party
viciously, evidently considering them
his natural enemies. The doctor car
ried the bottle by a string tied to its
neck and hung the bottle to a tent pole.
"Now colonel" he said IF by means
Of this little fellow, who is perfectly
safe behind glass and can't hurt any
one, l can prove that you are an in
stinctive coward will you promise me
to take steps to have Eldridge's resig-
nation accepted instead of his being
cashiered"
Eyes, I will; and I'll do more than
that. I'll give him another chance
half a dozen If he likes"
"More chances won't help him. His
is an exaggerated eas of physical de,
feet SO far as bravery goes. All I ask
is to let him out Of it without disgrace.
Now, l shall give you the advantage of
preparation. colonel. l shall permit
you to see others finch before you
finch yourself"
II shall not finch, sir. Should I
finch at any test l would not be fit to
command this regiment"

to put a finger on the bottle. He did
SO. The snake struck at the finger,
