Show OPFICIAL ENDORSEMENT. Editor intcrmou.'iluiii Catholic: My lx-ar Sir:-Ueplving to vour f.ivor i-king my approval of Tiie Intermountain Catholic since, its establishment in this Jioense. 1 will state that i connder the founding of a Catholic paper in Sail Lak.j 1 . not the leafr of the many blessings be- 1 Mowed by Providence on the Church hero during the pits; two years. Its birth occurred oc-curred at jmi opportune time, its zeul, in ' propagating Catholic truth, has had, since its inrriti my hearty, though silent approval. 1 believe with Our Holy Father that "a good Catholic journal is a )xrpetii;il mission in a. parish." and that it will serve as a question box, at all times, for anxious inquirers. In my visf-i visf-i tations 1 shnll hope to lind The Inter- mount. tin Catholic in the homes of every Catholic family. Its mission is to espouse es-pouse truth, justice and morality, and all devoted priests will find .n It an able co-operator co-operator in thri- missionarv work. !t is my wish that all my priests and the laity entrusted to mv 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 City.

Let all who truly and j ' irom tnetr souls desire that heliglon and f ; society defended by human intellect and 1 literature should flourish, strive -by their i liberality to guard and protect tha Catholic press, and let every one in proportion pro-portion to his income support them with h!s money and influence", for to those who devote themselves to the Catholic press we ought by all means to bring helps of this kind, without which their industry will either have no results ov i uncertain and miserable ones.
