I will state that I consider the founding of a Catholic paper in Salt Laka not the least of the many blessings bestowed be-stowed by Providence on the Church hero : during the past two years, its birth oc curred at an opportune time. Its zeal, In propagating Ca.tholic truth, has had. : ! ' f-nce its inception, my hearty, though silent approval. 1 believe with Our Holy Father that '"a good Catholic journal is a fierpctual mission in a parish," and that t will serve as a question box, at all times, for anxious inquirers. In my visl-t visl-t tations I shall hope to tind The Inter- mountain Catholic in the homes of every Otholic family. Its mission is to espouse es-pouse truth, justice and morality, and all devoted priests will find in it an able co-operator co-operator in their missionary work. It is rny wish that all my priests" and the laity entrusted to mv charge should encourage your noble effort and that of the generous gen-erous founder of The Intermountain Catholic. Yours sincerely, L. SCANLAN. Bishop of Salt Laka Salt Lake City, Oct. 2. 1300. CARD FROM BISHOP SCANLAN.
