Show I ; . i OFFICIAL EUDOBSEMENT. t Editor Intermountain Catholic: My Dear Sir: Reviving to ycur favor asking my approval of The Intermountata I Catholic since its establishment in this I . diocese, I will mate that I consider the ? founding of a Catholic paper in Salt Laka ' r. nt the leapt of the many blessings be- I stowed by Providence on the Church hero - 1 ; during the past two years. Its birth oc- ! cuired at an opportune time, its zeal, i:i J propagating Catholic truth, has had, s 6fnce its inception, mv hearty, though 1 silent approval. I believe with Our Holy Father that "a good Catholic journal is a I i perpetual mission in a parish." and that ,. it will serve as a question box, at a!! f , times, for anxious inquirers. In my visi- 1 tptinns t kVi.I1 tinn i ,-. 1nrt THa Inter- ; . ' mountain Catholic in the homes of every I ' Otholtc family. Its mission is to es- j I : pouse truth, justice and morality, and atl ' I : devoted priests will find :n it an able co- j :' operator In their missionary work. It is ! ; my wish that all my priests and the laity I ; entrusted to mv charge should encourage j your noble effort and that of tlx gen- ; erous founder of The Intermountain j ' Catholic. Yours sincerely I L. SCANLAN, Bishop of Salt Lake. I ! ; Salt Lake City, Oct. 2. 1900. I f 1 , CARD from: bishop scanxan.
