Show I "6 FFI CIAL EN D O R S EM ENT. 3 - ' Editor Interrr. untaln Catholic: . My Dear Sir Replying to your raver asking my arproval of The Intermountain Catholic since its es- tablishment in this diocese. I will state that I consider ; the founding of a Catholic paper in Salt Lake not the least of the many blessings bestowed by Providence ' on the Church here during the past two years. Its birth occurred at en opportune time. Its zeal in prop-e prop-e gating Catholic truth has had, since its inception, my hearty though 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 question box. at all times, for anxious inquirers. I In my visitations I shall hope to find The Intermoun- J 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 on able co-opera - Itor In their missionary work. It is my wish that all my priests and the laity entrusted to my charge should encourage your noble effort and that of the generous founder of The Intermountain Catholic. Tours sincerely, L. SCANLAN. Bishop of Salt Lake. Salt Lake City, Oct. 2, 1900. CARD FROM BISHOP SCANLAN. I feel it my duty to protect Catholics and the tfub-!lc tfub-!lc generally from fraud and imposition by notifying them from time to time that no person bearing the name and garb of a priest or sister, or anyone else. Is authorized or permitted to solicit or collect in this diocese for any purpose whatever connected with the Catholic Church without having from me permission In writing, bearing my seal and nignature. Should I anyone be found engaged in doing this unlawful work or collecting without such a document, he or she, as the case may be, should be regarded by all as a fraud and an imposter.
