The Church Within a Church. In Belgium where the churches have been battered down, one church serves for the people of a dozen ruined villages. At Staden, Belgium the ingenuity of Abbe Moestart has built a church within a church. With corrugated iron from the battlefield shelters, he improvised a roof against one of the remaining walls of the old church and every Sunday steady streams of people plod over the battered roads in the direction of the church where a little, cracked bell dug out of the debris announces service. Abbe Moestart is seen here showing Capt. C.O. Dennewitz, an American Red Cross worker of Gary, Ind., how he turned the ruins into a house of worship
