Use an epoxy. JB Weld is a good choice since you can clean up the squeeze out (lapping or sanding it) after it's cured and it's waterproof.

I had a similar hone. I heated the halves up in the over (~200 F) and used a hot glue gun. If you don't heat the hones the glue will harden before it bonds.
That was about 6 months ago and all is fine.
As ChrisL stated, epoxy or JB Weld should work also but I don't have experience with them on Belgian hones.
Thanks! Now I know how to glue mine too!

That's a beauty!
I like JoeD's idea in the event one would ever want to separate the halves again (using a heat sensitive glue) as the epoxy route is essentially permanent.

Any excess hot glue that comes out the side I just trim off with a single edge razor blade.
This one is a real Beauty, Artan!
Carrie are you sure you don't use a double edge blade?
I recommend epoxy.
