Show OFFICIAL ENDORSEMENT. 1 Editor Intermountain Cathode: My Dear Sir Replying to your faver asking my rpproval of The Intermountain Catholic since its establishment es-tablishment in this diocese. I will state that I consider i he founding of a Catholic paper in Salt Lake not the n the Church here during the past two years. Its birth occurred at an opportune time. Its zeal in propagating prop-agating Catholic truth has had, since its inception, my hearty though silent approval. I believe with I Our Holy Father that "a good Catholic journal is a i perpetual mission in a parish," and that it will serve us a question' box, at all times, for anxious inquirers. In my visitations I shall hope to find The Intermountain Intermoun-tain Catholic in the horns of every Catholic family. Its mission is to espouse truth, justice and morality, and all devoted priests will find it an able co-orera-tor in their missionary work. It is my wish that all my priests and the laity entrusted to my chargJ should encourage your noble effort and that Of the onerous founder of The Intermountain Catholic Yours sincerely, L. SCANLAN.
