I will state that I consider the , rounding of a Catholic paper in Salt Laka not the least of the many Messings bestowed be-stowed by Providence on the Church here during the past two years. Its birth occurred oc-curred at an opportune time. Its zeal. In propagating Catholic truth, has had. fc.nce its inception, my hearty, though Filent approval. I believe with Our Holy father that "a good Catholic journal is a Perpetual mission in a parish," and that , it will serve as a question box, at ail times, for anxious inquirers. In my vhd- tations I shall hope to find The Inter- ' mountain Catholic in the homes of every Catholic family, its mission is to espouse es-pouse truth, justice and morality, and all , devoted priests will find :n it an able co- ( operator in their missionary work. It Js my wish that all my priests and the laity I entrusted to my charge should encourage i your noble effort and that of the gen- i erons founder of The Intermountain Catholic. Yours eincerelv. L."
