Show j OFFICIAL ENDORSEMENT. J 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 caper In Salt Lake not the I : least or the many blessings bestowed by Providence X ou the Church here during the past two years. Its ' : birth, occurred at an opportune time. Its zeal In prop- ! apating Catholic truth has had, since its inception. i my hearty though silent approval. I believe with t. i , Our HolyFather that "a good Catholic journal is a j i 1 perpetual mission in a parish," and that it will serve as a question box, at all times, for anxious inquirers. ' In my visitations I shall hope to find The Tntermoun- i. ' 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-opera tor in their missionary work. It is my wish that all my xjriests and 'the laity entrusted to my charge Fhould encourage your noble effort and that of the generous founder of The Intermountain Catholic, Yours sincerely, L. SCANLAN. f Bishop of Salt Lake, Salt Lake City, Oct. " 1900. CARD FROM BISHOP SCANLAN.
