The President, in a few introductory remarks, referred to the splendid growth of the Church, and assured the I Bishop of the love and loyalty of the I children of the Church. They appreciated appre-ciated to the fullest measure his great work, covering more than a quarter of a century, in the upbuilding of the faith of our fathers in this intermoun-tain intermoun-tain country. Bishop Scanlan said that he never expected to live to see the time when there should be such a great and pro- ' nounced chansre in Utah such an unexpected un-expected growth of Catholicity. He admired ad-mired in the fullest measure the spirit of Catholicity that was apparent on every side, and especially among the young people. Bishop Scanlan assured the members of the Literary Society of his hearty approbation and co-operation, and said ( that he would aid it in every way pos- J si hie. ' There was a large attendance of the j ! members of the society, and a most en- j 1 joyable evening was spent by all. : |
