Show RELIGIOUS JOURNALS. Some very excellent, well meaning ncople imagine they are displaying jreat genius by picking flaws with our Catholic weeklies. It is ever lacking in .some point, they would1 have the japcr furnish, weekly, matter editor-ally editor-ally and otherwk-e, as if its readers were supernatural creatures. If the paper was published' solely for the angels to peruse, this might be done. But it would have to be managed by these celestial beings to accomplish this. As it is, the paper is meant for men; it does not live above the clouds, but is right down here in the plane of everyday life. The ideal religious paper, which will fully meet the wants and requirements of all its readers, giving every one the meed of entire satisfaction, has yet to be published. If the head of each Catholic family Iwill recognize it as his privilege and duty to contribute towards supporting the Catholic press bv subscribins- for one or more Catholic periodicals and keeping himself well acquainted with the information they impart, the Catholic Cath-olic press will be sure to attain to its rightful development and to accomplish its destined mission. We promise that each succeeding number of The Intermountain Catholic shall be an improvement upon its predecessor, pre-decessor, until we have achieved as near perfection as is possible for mere human hands and brain. All that can be done by mechanical skill, combined with thorough research and careful study, will be done to place The Intermountain Inter-mountain Catholic in the foremost rank of our Catholic weeklies published in this country, and make it an exponent ; of Cathftic views and news. Those who wish to have in their homes a clean, instructive and interesting Cath-oiic Cath-oiic weekly devoted to the highest interests in-terests of humanity, cannot do better than to send their name end the subscription sub-scription price, ?1 for six months, or ?2 for the year. So light here, we would respectfully remind the large number of our subscribers sub-scribers who are in arrears that they should remit the amounts of their indebtedness in-debtedness either to the office or to the agent when he will call. A prompt compliance with this request will be the best evidence of their appreciation of the Intermountain Catholic services. J. F. II. |
