Show j OFFICIAL ENDORSEMENT. ; I Editor Intermountain Catholic: I My De.ir Sir Replying to your faver asking my I approval of The Interraouatain Catholic since its es- I tablishment in this diocese. I will state that I consider 'he founding of a Catholic paper in Salt Lake not th I least of the many blessings bestowed by Providence I -n the Church here during the past two years.

In my visitations I shall hope to find The Intermoun. ta'n Catholic in the home ot every Catholic family. lts mission is to espouse truth, justice and morality, end all devoted priests will find it an able co-opera- I tor In their missionary work. It is my wish that all 1 my priests and the laity entrusted to my charge should encourage your noble effort and that of the I penerous founder of The Intermountain Catholic. Tours sincerely, L.
