Show j ' OFFICIAL ENDORSEMENT. Editor Ictermountain Catholic: My Dear Sir Replying to your fa- ror asking my approval of The Inter- 'l , mountain Catholic since its establisli- i j cient In this diocese, I will state that , ': ' I consider the founding of a Catholic i . paper In Salt Lake not the least of the : many blessings bestowed by Provi- , , dence on the Church here during the , past two jrears. Its birth occurred at I en opportune time. Its zeal in propa- ; i gating Catholic truth has had, since its inception, my hearty though silent I . approval. I believe with Our Holy Father that "a good Catholic Journal j Is a perpetual mission in a parish," I and that it will serve as a question I . . box, at all times, for anxious inquir- - , ers. In my visitations I shall hope to I find The Intermountain Catholic In ?. the homes of every Catholic family. Its mission is to espouse truth, justice j and morality, and all devoted priests will find in it an able co-operator In their missionary work. It is my wish that all my priests and the laity en- IjF trusted to my charge should encour- f I age your noble effort and that of the I generous founder of The Intermoun- j tain Catholic. Yours sincerely, ' L. SCANLAN, I ' Bishop of Salt Lake. ". Salt Lake City, Oct. 2, 1900. 'jji I |
