Belgium S Heroic Priest
Great Historical Drama Described in Cardinal
Mercier's Own Story

OF how the churches helped tc keep
alive the spirit Of patriotism, among
the Belgian people throughout the Ger
man occupation. They were in &
favorable position TO perform this
function because the Germans never
dared to deal with them quite as ruth
lcssly as with purely secular institu-
tions. Even so the priests had heavy
burden TO carry. Many of them were
deported to Germany; many more
were sentenced to penal servitude. But
they fulfilled to the end their difficult
and glorious duty as torchbearers Of
liberty, inspired and strengthened
throughout by the heroic example Of
their Primate and Archbishop
The Cardinals protests against the
We -ious abuses of the German govern
ment were vigorous and unceasing
The following trenchant indictment
appears In a letter to Baron Won der
Lancken:
"B brave enough, then, to be Just
and humane.
The easier 1t II for you to misuse

spect bids you not to rfsuse it, The
