Show I! OFFICIAL ENDORSEMENT. Editor Interxnountain Catholic: ; My Dear Sir: Replying to your favor asking my approval of The lntermounta,tn Catholic since its establishment in this diocese, 1 will state that I consider the founding of a Catholic paper in Salt Laka 1 not the least of the many blessings be- towed by Providence on the Church here i during the past two yeans, its birth oc curred at an opportune time. Its zeal, in propagating Catholic truth, has had. fcince its inception, mv hearty, though silent approval. 1 believe with Our Holy-Father 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 visi tations I shall hope to find The Inter-i Inter-i mountain Catholic in the homes of every i Cr.tholic family. Its mission is to es- , pouse truth, justice and morality, and all devoted priests will find in It nn able co- operator in their missionary work. It is I my wish that all my priests and the laity entrusted to mv charge should encourage your noble effort and that of the gen-1 gen-1 erous founder of The Intermountain 1 Catholic. Yours sincerely. L. SCANLAN, Bishop of Salt Lake, i Bait Lake City, Oct. 2. 1900. J CARD FROM BISHOP SCANLAN. ' 1 I feel It my dutv to protect Catholics ! and the public generally from fraud and I Imposition by notifying them from time 1 to time that no person bearing the name , and garb of a priest or sister or anyOM . else is autnorized or permitted to solicit 1 ' or collect in this diocese for any purpose ! whetever connected with the Catholic i Church without having irom me permls- , Bion in writing bearing my seal and i signature. Should any one be found en- . paged in doing this unlawful work of collecting without such a document, he or she. as the case may be, should be re-1 re-1 rarded by all as a fraud and an lmposter. ' : L. SCANLAN, Bishop of Salt Lake. I Nov. 20. 1S99. ' i !! THE POPE'S ADMONITION. A Catholic newspaper in a parish is a Ferpetual mission. Let all who truly and rom their souls desire that heligion and ! fociety defended by human intellect and literature should flourish, strive by their 1 liberality to guard and protect the ; Catholic press, and let every one in pro- i portion to his income support them with his monev and influence, for to thos Who devote themselves to the Catholic i I press we ought by all means to bring j re-lps of this kind, without which their i Industry wiil either have no results or i j , uncertain and miserable ones.
