Show iOmCIAL ENDORSEMENT. Editor Intermountain Catholic: , -My Dear Sir Replying to vour favor j asking my approval of The Intermountain j Catholic since its establishment in this i diocese. I will state that I consider the lounding of a Catholic paper in Salt Lake not the least of the manv blessings be-t be-t 6towed by Providence on the Church here curing the past two years, its birth oc- I curred at an opportune time. Its zeal in I propagating tiatbuiic truth has had, Binee its inception, my hearty though ! !ifcnt approval, l oelieve 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. In mv vis-I vis-I itations I shall hope to find The inter- i mountain Catholic in th homes of every j! Catholic family, its mission is to es pouse truth, justice and morality, and all devoted priests will find in it an able co-operator co-operator in their missionary work. It is my wish that all my prieFts and the laity entrusted to my charge should encourage your noble effort and that of the generous gen-erous founder of The Intermountain Catholic. Yours sincerely. L. SCANLAN, , , Bishop of Salt Lake. Salt Lake City, Oct. 2, 1900. I CARD FROM BISHOP SCANLAN. I feel it my duty to protect Catholics and tne public generally from fraud and Imposition by notifying them from time to trie that no person bearing the name and tarb of a priest or sister, or anyone !se is authorized or permitted to solicit or collect in this diocese for any purpose whatever connectea with the Catholic Cnurch without having from me permission permis-sion in writing, bearing my seal and signature. Should anyone be found engaged en-gaged in doing this unlawful work of collecting without such a document, he or fhe. as the case may be, should be regarded re-garded by all as a fraud and an imposter. L. SCANLAN, f Bishop of Salt Lake. I Nor. 20. 1S99. j THE POPE'S ADMONITION. I A Catholic newspaper in a parish is a i perpetual mission. Let ali who truly and I from their souls desire that religion and I society defended by human intellect and I literature should flourish, strive by their j liberality to guard and protect the j Catholic press, and let every one in pro- t portion to his income sunport them with I his money and influence, for to those who devote themselves to the Catholic press we ought by ail means to bring helps of this kind, without which their industry will either have no results or uncertain and miserable ones.
