Show I OFFICIAX Ein0SEJEENT. Editor Intermouutain Catholic: I My Dear Sir: Replying to your favor I sking my approval of The Intermoumaln I j Catholic since its establishment in this 3 ; diocese, I will state that I consider the I founding of a Catholic paper in Salt Lake I not the least of the many blessings be- I mowed by Providence on the Church here j " j during the past two years, its birth oc- 1 , ' curred at an opportune time. Its seal. In j propagating Ca.tholic truth, haa had, fclnce its inception, my hearty, though 1 ; . silent approval. 1 believe with Our Holy Father that "a good Catholic journal is a f perpetual mission in a parish," and that 1 I ' l w11 serve aa a question box, at all j : ' times, for anxious Inquirers. In my vlsl- I ! i tations I shall hope to find The Inter- ": mountain Catholic in the homes of every 1 , Catholic family. Its mission is to es- I pouse truth, justice and morality, and ail I flevoted priests will iind In it an able co- operator in their missionary -work. It is : ny 'ih that all my priests and the laity entrusted to my charge should encourage your noble effort and that of the generous gen-erous founder of The Intermouatain Catholic. Yours sincerely, L. SCANLAN, Bishop of Salt Lake. : , Sal. Lake City, Oct. 2. 1900. j !CARD FROM BISHOP SCAN1A1T. I feel It my duty to protect Catholics and the public generally from fraud and ' imposition by notifying them from time to time that no person bearing the name !and garb of a prieet or sister or anyoM lse Is autnorized or permitted to solicit or collect in this diocese for any purpose whatever connected with the Catholic Church without having irom me permission permis-sion in writing bearing my seal and signature. Should any one be found en-! en-! gaged in doing this unlawful work of collecting without such a document, he or she. as the case may be, should be re. I garded by all as a fraud and an lmposter. I L. SCANLAN. I Bishop of Salt Lake, j Nov. 20. ISM. j f ! ' THE POPE'S ADJIOJTCTIOIX. I A Catholic newspaper in a parish is a perpetual mission. Let all who truly and ! from their souls desire that heliglon and society defended by human intellect and literature should flourish, strive by their I liberality to guard and protect the Catholic press, and let every one in pro- j portion to his Income fupport them with ,! his money and influence, for to those 1 j who devote themselves to the Catholic J press we ought, by all means to bring I , relps of this kind, without which their I industry will either have no results or j uncertain and miserable ones.
