Extracts From the Cardinals Pastoral

The lawful authority in Belgium is
that of our king, of our government,
of the elected representatives of the
nation. This authority alone has n
right to our affection, our submission.
Occupied provinces are not con
quered provinces. Belgium is no more
a German province than Gaicia is a
Russian province.
It is our army. and our army
solely, in the league with the valiant
troops of our allies that has the honor
apd the duty of the national defense.
Let us intrust the army with our
final dcliverancc.
Pray for our brothers in arms pray
for the fallen; pray for those who are
still engaged; pray for the recruits
who are making ready for the fight
to come
Better than any other man, perhaps,
do l know what our unhappy country
has undergone. Nor will any Belgian,
l trust, doubt what / suffer in my
soul, as a citizen aud as n bishop, in
sympathy with all this sorrow.

"Do You Take Me for a Brigand?"

The Cardinal observed to Won Strempe that an
to such document required reflection and
this he could not give Immediately; he begged him
To return the evening. The captain answered
that his orders were not to leave the Archbshops
House without reply. The Cardinal frutlessly in
sisted that he should have time given him to work
out his reply. The officer again and again rejoned

as he seemed loath to let the Cardinal out of his
sight, the latter said use your liberty; give you my
word of honor that shall not away. Do you take

Won Strempel the subjoined letter, begging him in

phone to return to Brussels and again for the
answer about p. m.

CHAPTER V
The Pastoral Letter
Patriotism and Endurance

TNHE sentiments which the Cardinal showed toward
Won Kissing in his letter of December 28th 1914,
were expressed publicly by him in the pastoral letter
of January 1st 1915, entitled Patriotism and Endur-
ance" He recommended the faithful to abstain from
hostile acts against the enemy army to have that
gard for the occupying power which the common veal
demanded and to respect the regulations imposed SO
long as they did interfere either with liberty of
conscience offend their patriotic feelings. But, on
the other hand, he solemny affirmed that this power
had legitimate authority and that consequently they
were not bound in their inmost souls to show such
power esteem, loyalty obedience. The only egiti-
mate power in Belgium" he added "is that which be-
longs to king, his and the representa-
tves of the nation He alone has right to the afec
on of hearts and submission; for he alone
represents authority"

to him: Dear Governor General, have for you per-
sonally profound and sincere esteem. But it must be
understood that these feelings do not imply the sub
mission of my soul to hostile nation which has in
vaded our territory"
"As regards this letter the Governor will not be
able to let it pass"
"It is written and it will remain"
"But why" broke in officer who till then had
kept silent, "why remind the faithful in your letter
of bygone events?"

The Cardinal answered. "You tell me that his Ex-
