POST-WAR RECOVERY.
SHAKEN FAITH RESTORED.
Tho recuperation of a faith that had been badly shakeu as a result of the war was spoken of yesterday by Bishop Ileylen, of Namur, who was a passenger from Vancouver by the Niagara. Bishcfp Heylen is permanent secretary of Eucharistic Congresses, and is on liis way to Sydney to attend the congress there early next month. "The faith of the people of Belgium was very strong in the early stages of the war," Bishop Heylen stated. "As the terrible crisis dragged on, however, many became indifferent. Their faith was shaken. Tho wounds of the war are now healing, and as time goes on tho faith cf the peoples involved in the war is healing, and recuperating." Similar opinions were expressed by le Prince P. de Croy, who was at Mons throughout the war: Dealing with postwar recovery, ho said great headway was being made tn Belgium. There were few unemployed, everyone being anxious to restore the country to its former prosperity.
