AN EXCHANGE OF COMPLIMENTS

Rev. D. J. Mcmillan, Presbyterian
minister from New York, formerly
stationed in Utah, stopped over Sun
day in Salt Lake City on his way to
the conference at Los Angeles. He
is the man who has been telling peo-
pie back east that in Utah he had to
preach with a Bible in one hand and
a revolver in the other. Sunday morn
ing he gave an overflow congregation
at the Collegiate institute few more
sensations to ponder over, He said:
They tell you in the Tabernacle Of
the spirit of brotherly love and the
kindly feeling which animated them
in their treatment of their Gentle
friends, and that they were willing
to let every one worship according to
the dictates of his own conscience.
That is what they preach now. can
remember the time in this state when
it was hardly safe for any person to
admit that he was not Mormon, and
it is not so many years ago, either
When l was preaching in Sanpete
they said: We will make a Mormon
of him, or we will teach him a lesson.
They did not say this once, but goot
many times, and some of their threat:
were even stronger. 1t was a com
mon remark down there that the!
would never allow the feet of Gen
tile to tread the sacred soil of San
pete county. They would not sell {
Gentle anything to eat if they eoulc
get out of it. If a Mormon did sci
us anything he lived in mortal dreat
of the consequences"

OFFICIAL ENDORSEMENT.

Editor Intermountain Catholic:
My Dear Sir-Replying to your ia
vor asking my approval of The Inter
mountain Catholic since it's establish
ment in this diocese, will state that
L consider the founding of Catholic
paper in Salt Lake not the least of the
many blessings bestowed by Provi-
dence on the Church here during the
past two years. It's birth occurred at
an opportune time. It's zeal in propa-
eating Catholic truth has had, since
Its inception, my hearty though silent
approval. l 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 inqufr-
ers. In my visitations l shall hope to
find The Intermountain Catholic in
the homes Of every Catholic family.
Its mission is to espouse truth, Justice
and morality, and all devoted priests
will find in it an able co-operator in
their missionary work. 1t is my wish
that all my priests and the laity en-
trusted to my charge should encour-
age your noble effort and that of the
generous founder of The Intermoun-
tain Catholic. Yours sincerely,
L. SCANLAN,
Bishop of Salt Lake.

abuse, which changes no ones opin-
ion, but only breeds discord and strife
in the community. Surely it would
be better to try to convince the Nor
mons of the errors of their form of
belief without hardening their hearts
by slandering them Converts are
not made in that way. By the way,
that gun-in-the-pulpit story is a bit
too wild and woody for the twentieth
century.

CARD FROM BISHOP scANLAN.
Bishop of Salt Lake.
Salt Lake City, Oct. 2, 1900.

1 feel it my duty to protect Catho-
lies and the public generally from
fraud and imposition by notifying
them from time to time that no per-
son bearing the name and garb of a
priest or sister, or anyone else, is au-
thorized or permitted to solicit or col.
lect in this diocese for any purpose
whatever connected with the Catholic
Church without having from me per-
mission in writing, bearing my seal
and signature. Should anyone be
found engaged in doing this unlawful
work of collecting without such a doc.
ument, he or she, as the case may be.
should be regarded by all as a fraud
and an imposter.
