Show I ' OFFICIAL ENDORSEMENT. Editor Intermountain Catholic: My Dear Sir: Replying to your favor siting my approval ot The Intermountain Catholic since its establishment 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 be- ! Mowed by Providence on the Church here during the past two years, its birth occurred oc-curred at an opportune time. Its zeal. In ; propagating Catholic truth, has had. t..nce its .inception, my hearty, though Rllent approval. I believe with Our Hoi:' Father that "a good Catholic journal is a . perpetual, mission in a parish," and that it will serve as a question box, at ail times, for anxious inquirers. In my visl- ' tations I shall hope to tind The Inter- ! mountain Catholic in the homes of every Otholic family. Its mission is to es- pouse truth, justice and morality, and all devoted priests will find in it an able co- ' operator in their missionary work. It is I my wish that all my priests and the laity , entrusted to rr.y charge should encourage ( your noble effort and inat of the gen erous founder of The . Intermountain Catholic. Yours sincerelv.

L. SCANLAN, Bishop of Salt Lake. ! Nov. 20, 1S99. THE POPE'S ADMONITION. A Catholic newspaper in a parish is a perpetual mission. Let all who truly and l i from their souls desire that heligion and 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 ?n pro portion to his income support them with . his money and influence, for to those ' who devote themselves to the Catholic press we ought bv all means to bring i re-lps of this kind, without which their 4 Industry will either have no results or j ', ' ' uncertain and miserable nnos. . j .
