Show ' HERE'S TO 'YOU! That most excellent and meritorious Catholic newspaper, The Record, of London, Canada, has entered upon the new year with every appearance of prosperity and good cheer. The Catholic Record Rec-ord has enlarged its boundaries and its usefulness, and now offers to its patrons fifty-six columns of clean and uplifting reading. This splendid weekly long ago won the applause of the Catholics of the Dominion by its able and fearless defense of everybody every-body and everything which made for truth and clean living. When the Nestor of Canadian Catholic Catho-lic journalism, that scholarly convert, George E. Clerk, died and left the "True Witness" a widow, those of us then grown to man's estate, feared he would have no successor. Then appeared that master mas-ter of apologetics, Father George Northgraves, and since then, the Catholic Record, which he edited for many years, took its place on the firing line and has remained at the front to this day. The Catholics Cath-olics of the Dominion are to be congratulated, for, in possessing the London Catholic Record and the Toronto Catholic Register, they hold two of the ablest exponents of Catholic truth and controversial controver-sial weeklies on the continent of America. To these two admirable newspapers The Intermouutain Catholic, across three thousand miles of land and water, sends greetings and, addressing each in the language of the Psalmist, bids them to: "prospers procedc, et regno proceed prosperously and reign." |
