Show i OFFICIAL ENDORSEMENT. Editor Intermountain Catholic: My Dear Sir Replving to vour favor asking my approval of 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 manv blessings bestowed be-stowed by Providence ou the Church here during the past two years, its birth occurred oc-curred at an opportune times. Its zeal in propagating Catholic truth has had. fcince its inception, my hearty though talent approval. I believe with Our Holy-Father Holy-Father that "a good Catholic journal is a ferpett;al mission in ti parish." and that t will serve as a question box, at all times, for anxious inquirers. In mv visitations vis-itations 1 shall hope to find The lnter-mountnio lnter-mountnio Catholic in th homes of every Catholic family, its mission is to espouse es-pouse truth, justice and morality, and all devoted priests will fina in it an able co-' 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. Tniirn clrirnri)v I . IL. SCANLAN, , , Bishop of Salt Lake. Salt Lake City, Oct. 2, 1900. CARD FROM BISHOP SCANLAN. S I feel It my duty to protect Catholics j find th. public, generallv from fraud and J imposition by notifying them from time I to time that no person bearing the name I nnd garb of a priest or sister, or anyone j-lse Js authorized or permitted to solicit i 1 or collect in this diocese for any purpose whatever connected with the Catholic Church without having from me permission permis-sion in writing, bearing my seal and signature. Should anyone be J'ound engaged en-gaged in doing this unlawful work ot : 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 imposter. L. SCANLAN, ! Bishop of Salt Lake, Nov. 20. 1899. !THE POPE'S ADMONITION. A Catholic newspaper in a parish is a rerpetual mission. Let all who truly and fr.-m their souls desire that religion and society defrnded by human intellect and literature should flourish, strive by their libprallty to guard and protect the Catholic press, and let every one in pro-. pro-. portion to his income support them with his money and influence, for to tnose who devote themselves to the Catholic press we ought by all means to bring helps of this "kind, rthout which their industry will either have no results or uncertain and miserable ones.
