Show I OFFICIAL ENDORSEMENT. I Editor Intermountain Catholic: My Dear Sir: Replying to your favor j a? king my approval of The Intermountain 1 Catholic since its establishment in this J diocese. I will state that I consider the I founding of a Catholic paper in Salt Laka J not the least of the many blessings be- I owed by Providence on the Church here I during the past two years. Its birth oc- 1 i curred at an opportune time. Its real, in I propagating Catholic truth, has hal. I since its inception, my hearty, though i silent approval. 1 believe with Our Holy I Father that "a good Catholic journal is a j perpetual mission in a parish." and that I it will serve as a question box, at all I times, for anxious inquirers. In my visl- I tations I shall hope to rind The Inter- mountain Catholic in the homes of every (O-tholic family. Its mission is to espouse es-pouse truth, justice and morality, and all j devoted priests will find in it an ablcco- operator in their mlssionarv work. It is s my wish that all my priests and the laity 1 entrusted to my charge should encourage t your noble effort and that of the gen- I erous founder of The Intermountain Catholic. Yours sincerely, I L. SCANLAN. J Bishop of Salt Lake, j Salt. Lake City, Oct. 2, 1900. ! ( CARD FROM BISHOP SCANXAN.

Should any one be found en-. en-. gaged in doing this unlawful work of collecting without such a document, he or she, 89 the case may be, should be regarded re-garded by all as a fraud and an lmposter. , L. SCANLAN. Bishop of Salt Lake. . ! Xov. 20, IS95. 6 THE POPE'S ADMONITION. 1 A Catholic newspaper in a parish is a I perpetual mission. Let all who truly and from their souls desire that heltgion and I pociety defended by human intellect and literature should flourish, strive by their liberality to guard and protect the 1 ' Catholic press, and let every one in pro- portion to his income support them with I his money and influence, for to those I ' who devote themselves to the Catholic . press we ought by all means to bring helps of this kind, without which their I industry will either have no results or I uncertain and miserable ones. !
