Its J birth occurred at an opportune time. Its zeal Jn.prop- i Pgating Catholic truth has had. since its inception, my hearty though silent approval.

Its mission is to espouse truth, justice and morality, pnd all devoted priests will find it an able co-opera-I tor in their missionary work. It is my wish that all , tey priests and the laity entrusted to my charge I . phould entourage your noble effort and that of the Kn:-rnus founder of The lntermountain Catholic j Tours sincerely, L. SCANLAN. 1 Bishop of Salt Lake. I . Salt Lake City, Oct. 2. 1900. CARD FROM BISHOP SCANLAN.
