Show OFFICIAL ENDORSEMENT. ,; Editor Intermountain Catholic: My Dear Sir: Replying to your favor asking my approval of Tiie Intermoumain Catholic tinc-v its establishment in thi diocese. 1 will Mate that I consider the , founding of a Catholic paper in Salt Lak,3 not vhe least of the many blessings, bestowed be-stowed by providence on the Church nere during the past two years. Its birth occurred oc-curred at an opportune time. Its zeal, in propagating Caiholic truth, has ha;l. tjiw its inception, my hearty, though Fliont approval. 1 believe with Our Holy Father that "a good Catholic journal is a ferpet.ual mission in a parish," and that t will serve as a question box. at al. times, for anxious inquirers. In my visitations visi-tations I shall hope to tind The Inter-mountain Inter-mountain Catholic in the homes of every Catholic family. Its mission is to es pouse truth, justice and morality, and all devoted priests will rind 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. L. SCANLAN. Bishop of Salt Lake. Salt Lake Citr, Oct. 2. 1100. CARD FROM BISHOP SCANLAN. 1 feel it mv dutv to protect Catholics ' , and the public generally from fraud and imposition by notifying them from time to time that no person bearing the name ? and garb of h. priest or sister or anyone else Is authorized or permitted to solicit : or collect in this diocese for any purpose. whenever connected with the Catholic Church without having trom me permission permis-sion in writing bearing my seal and signature.

L. SCANLAN, 1 ' Bishop of Salt Lake. Nov. ?o, , THE POPE'S ADMONITION. A Catholic newspaper in a parish is a perpetual mission. Let all who truly and i, from their souls desire that heligion and society defended bv human intellect and I li'erature should flourish, strive by their liberality to guard and protect the i Catholic press, and let every one in pro- portion to his income support- them with his rnonjry and influence, for to those who devote themselves to the Catholic press we ought by all means to bring b?1ps of this kind, without which their industry will either have no results or uncertain and miserable ones.
