Its birth oc- I curred at an opportune time. Its zeal. In I propagating Catholic truth, has had. f since its inception, my hearty, though i , silent approval. I believe with Our Holy ; Father that ,-a good Catholic journal is a perpetual mission in a parish," and that it will serve, as a quesiiou box. at all - : times, for anxious inquirers. In my visi tations I shall hope to find The Inter-5 Inter-5 mountain Catholic in the homes of every f O.tholic family. Its mission is to ?s- I i pouse truth, justice and morality, nd ail I devoted priests will find in it :iti able co- 1 operator in their missionarv work.

I feel it mv duty to protect Catholics f and the public generally from fraud and imposition by notifying them from time j to time that no person bearing the name I and garb of a prlen or sister or anyOM t else Is authorised or permitted to solicit or collect in this diocese for any purpose 5 whr.i.ovei- connected with the Catholic I Church without having trom mc permis- ! " sion in writing bearing my seal and : signature. Should any one he found en- i : gaged in doing this "unlawful work of collecting without such a document, he or she. as the case may be, should be re- garded by all as a fraud and an importer, t L. SCAN LAN. " Bishop of Salt Lake. Nov. 20, 1SP9. THE POPE'S ADMONITION. ! ' A Catholic newspaper in a parish is a perpetual mission. Let all who truly and ! ' from their souls desire that heligion and t " society defended by human intellect and j literature should flourish, strive by their t liberality to guard and protect the l Catholic press, and let every one in pro- portion to his income support them with his money and influence, for to those who devote themselves to the Catholic fress we ought by all means to bring e-lps of this kind, without which their t Industry will either have no results or i uncertain and miserable ones. , POPE LEO XIII.
