Editor Intermountaln Catholic: y Dear Sir: Replying to your favor ; .sKlng my approval of The Intermountaln " Catholic since its establishment in thia flloce.se, 1 will Mate that I consider the founding of a Catholic paper in Salt La ice . cot the least of the many blessings bestowed be-stowed by Providence on the Church here curing the past two years, its birth oc- ; curred at an opportuno time. Its zeal, in propagating Catholic truth, has had, fc.nce its inception, my hearty, though ; K1?1 approval. I believe with Our Holy ather that "a good Catholic journal is a perpetual mission in a parish," and that U will serve as a question box, at all times, for anxious Inquirers. In my visitations visi-tations I shall hope to find The Intermountaln Inter-mountaln 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 in it an able co-operator co-operator in their missionary work. It is my wish that all my priests and the laity entrusted to my charge should encourage ' your noble effort and that of the generous gen-erous founder of The Intermountain Catholic. Yours sincerely. 1 L." SCANLAN, , Bishop of Salt Lake. Salt Lake City, Oct. 2. 1900. CARD FROM BISHOP SCANLAN. I feel It my duty to protect Catholics end the public generally from fraud and Imposition by notifying them from time to time that no person bearing the name and garb of a priest or sister or any CM dse Is autnorized or permitted to solicit or collect In this diocese for any purpose whatever connected with the Catholic Church without having irom me permission permis-sion in writing bearing my seal and signature. Should any one be found engaged en-gaged in doing this unlawful work of collecting without such a document, he or she, as the case mav be, should be regarded re-garded by all as a fraud and an imposter. L. SCANLAN. Bishop of Salt Lake. Nov. CO, 1S99. THE POPE'S ADMONITION. j A Catholic newspaper in a parish is a perpetual mission. Let all who truly and from their souls desire that heligion and society defended bv human intellect and literature should flourish, strive by their liberality to guard and protect the Catholic press, and let every one !n proportion pro-portion to his Income support them with his money and influence, for to those who devote themselves to the Catholic Press we ought by all means to bring elps of this kind, without which their industry will either have no results or uncertain and miserable ones.
