Many stories from the past

FROM PAGE C1

In his history of Van
couver, Enc Nicol wmites.
“Such a conflagraton was of
course the cynosure of all
eyes on the North Shore,
where many of the Indians
rushed to their canoes with
the intent of aiding in the
rescue of them neighbors
across the inlet.”

“According to the curtous
tale of a witness, they were
deterred by the = mrssion
pnest, who stood on the
beach... and said: ‘No. my
children. The white man will
lose many things wn thrs fire.
If you go you may be blamed
by some bad man_ for
stealing. Who knows?”

In 1909, transepts were
added to the nave. twin
spires replaced the single
one and the church was
thoroughly remodeled in the
Gothic style. At this ume, it
was renamed St. Paul's, after
Bsshop Paul Duncu who
bved for many yearn at the
north shore mission

Says Crooin “His work
there was such that he
established an unbrcakabic
bond between the Oblatc
Fathers and the peuple of
the Squamish tnbe ~ That
tradition es stall alive today in
the person of Father Harold

St. Paul's as closely as
possible to the onginal -- but
with the aid of modern
technology to ensure its
preservation well into the
future.

The Save St. Paul's Indian
Church Committee has set
their fund-raising target at
$500,000, the final $100,000
to provide a trust fund for
continuing maintenance. So
far, $200,000 has _ been
committed and the com-
mittee has decided to go
ahead and begin work on the
foundation.

Says Maric Legg.
executive assistan! to the
committec, “We mustn't

stress Indian and we mustn't
stress Catholic. St. Paul's
just happens to be both —
and both have contnbuted.”

“But the point is that the
church dates back to 1886
and has been im constant

service ever since. It’s an
important part of our
herntage and = should be

preserved.”

As the centennial year of
1986 approaches, we might
do well to recall the words of
Britain's Sir
Churchill:

“If we quarrel between the
past and the present we shall
find that we have lost the
future.”
