Suffering Belgium,

Then followed a long message to the
suffering people Of Belgium, a sum
mary Of which only can be given.
Cardinal Mercier said:
"God will save Belgium, my breth-
ren, you cannot doubt it.
"Nay, rather, He is saving her.
"At once we were conscious Of our
own patriotism. For down within US
all is something deeper than personal
interests, than personal lsinships, than
party feeling, and this is the need and
the will to devote ourselves to that
more general interest which Rome
termed the public thing, Res Publica.
And this profound will within us is
patriotism
II do not require of you to rcnounce
any Of your national desires. On the
contrary, hold it as part Of my epis-
copal office TO instruct you az to your
duty in face Of the power that has in
vaded our soil and now occupies the
greater part Of our country. The au-
thority OF that power Is no lawful
authority. Therefore. in soul or con-
science you owe It neither respect nor
attachment nor obedience.
"Ths sole lawful authority ia Bel
gfum is that Of our King, Of our goy-
eyn,nsnt, of tho elected representative
of the nation. This authority alone
has right to our affection, our sub
mission.
Thus, the invaders acts Of public

cred characteristic address at Sainto
Gudule, Brussels. The address was ded.
lcated to the Belgian army. Cardinal
Mercier chose as his text the words n
Maccabees, ii, 40, Az, "Jerusalcm was
made an habitaton of strangers; her
festival days were turned into mourn
ing"
He began with n prophecy Of an
other festival day and said: "Our. re-
stored cathedra.s and our rebuilt
churches will be thrown widely omen:
the crowds will surge in; our King
Albert standing upon his throne will
DOW his uncoNquered head before the
King Of Kings; the Queen and the
royal princes will surround him; we
shall hear again the joyous peal of
our bells, and throughout the whole
country under the yaulted arches of
our churches, Belgians, hand in hand.
Will renew their vows to their God
their sovereign and liberty, while the
Bishops and the priests, interpreters
OF the soul of the nation, will intone a
triumphant TIE Deum in common
transport of Joyous thanksgiving"
Depicting the struggles and sacri-
llces OF the Belgian people, he said:
what lessops Of moral greatness
are to be learned here around us and
in exile and in the prisons. and in thu
concentration camps in Holland and in
Germany"
one OF his most famous messages
was published under the title "The
Voice OF God" 1t was a hearten,no
message to his people, bidding them
hold fast to the verities. One passage
has been widely quoted: ave cannot
exclude any from our prayers. evan
our enemies; but Christian theoloov
teaches US to graduate our affections.
