Show OFFICIAL ENDORSEMENT. , i Editor Intermountain Catholic: My Dear Sir Replying to your faver asking my approval of The Intermountain Catholic since Its establishment es-tablishment in this diocese. I will state that I consider the founding of a Catholic paper In Salt Lake not the least of the many blessings bestowed by Providence on the Church here during the past two years. . Its birth occurred at an opportune time. Its zeal In propagating prop-agating Catholic truth has had, 6ince its inception, my hearty though silent approval. I believe with Our Holy Father that "a good Catholic Journal is a perpetual mission in a parish," and that it will serv . a question box, at all times, for anxious inquirers. In my visitations I shall hope to find The Intermountain Intermoun-tain Catholic in the home of every Catholic family. Its mission is to espouse truth. Justice and morality, and all devoted priests will find it an able co-operator In their missionary work. It is my wish that all my priests and the laity entrusted to my charge nhould encourage your noble effort and that of th penerous founder or The Intermountain Catholic. Tours sincerely, L. SCANLAN.
