Mimeograph edition of Wawa Saint lives text planned
The trial lives of the Saints in Chinook printed too fine for Indian readers leads to a mimeograph plan to publish 160 to 200 page volumes monthly. A Diaph-Mimeograph will print four Wawa pages per run, with limited copies and stencils preserved for future editions. The Chinook Book of Devotions has sold 600 copies, with a bilingual English and Chinook annual planned for December 1904. The piece records Father McGuckin’s death in Vancouver and lists Diocese of New Westminster clergy across multiple towns, noting Holy Communion outreach to sick Indians and church access from distance.
