SIX DEAcoNs ARE ORDAINED 70
THE PRlEsTHpoD ON THE
BELGIAN battlefield.

How the life of the church goes on
in the midst of death and destruction
caused by the most terrible war in
history is shown by a touching cere-
mony which took place on Belgian soil
a few days ago. In|a fold of the sand
dunes, not far from La Panne and
within sound of the sea, there is a
small chapel served by the Oblates of
Mary which has SO far escaped the
furies of the human tempest. At Z
a. m. the other morning long pro.
cession of priests aid seminarians,
with a bishop bringing up the rear,
left the neighboring convent for the
little chapel. The latter building was
filled with officers Of all grades, SOL
diers, and some poor refugee civilians,
1t was an ordination. Six young dea.
cons were to be raised to the priest
hood by the Coadjutor Bishop of
Nancy, himself soldier, to fill the
gaps made by the war in the diocese
of Namur. Six young priests are all
Brancardiers, the assistant to the
French bishop in the divisional chap
lain of the fourth section of the Bel
gian army, the acolytes are all SOL
diers also. The mass is celebrated to
the accompaniment of military
band. After the imposition of hands
the six young priests, filled with emo.
ton, continue with the bishop the
celebration of mass. In a beautiful
address at the close of this elevating
ceremony the bishop recalled the SOU
venir of the martyred clergy of Ma.
mur whose souls seemed present to
encourage the young priests who were
to take their place. Never" he said,
has the beautiful definition of the
sacerdotal life beensso we'll verified as
now. 1t is the immolation of man
joined to that of God" He concluded
with these words: "We French, for
whom you suffer, pray for you and
your dear country, to whom we owe a
debt of gratitude which we can never
repay" The service concluded with
the strains of the "Marseillaise" and
the "Brabanconne."
