Its birth occurred oc-curred at an opportune time. Its zeal, in . propagating Catholic truth, has had, fclnce its inception, my hearty, though nilent 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. In my visitations visi-tations I hnll hope to ttnd The Inter-mountain Inter-mountain Catholic in the homes of every CMholic family. Its mission is to es pouse truth, justice and morality, and ail devoted priests will find in it an able co-operator co-operator 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 gen-erous founder of The Intermountain Catholic. Tours sincerely L. SCANLAN. Bishop of Salt Lake, Salt Lake City, Oct. 2, EK. CARD FROM BISHOP SCANLAN. I feel it my duty to protect Catholics and the public generally from fraud and i imposition by notifying them from time to time that no person bearing the name and garb of a priest or sister or anyone lse la 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 bear.ng my seal and signature. Should any one be found engaged en-gaged in doing this unlawful work of collecting without such a document, he or she, as the case may be, should be regarded re-garded by all as a- fraud and an importer. L. SCAN LAN. Bishop of Salt Lake. i Not. 10, ISM. THE POPE'S ADiroNITTOlT. A Catholic newspaper in a parish is a perpetual mission. Let all who truly and from their souls desire that heligion and society defended by human intellect and lir-rature should flourish, strive by their liberality to guard and protect the Catholic press, and let every one in proportion pro-portion to his Income support them with nis money and influence, for to thos who devote themselves to the Catholic press we ought by all means to bring , rlps of thrs kind, without which their industry will either have no results or uncertain and miserable ones.
