This Church Steeple
Here Before Columbus

Tacoma, Wash.-St. Peters Episco-
pal church, the oldest in Tacoma, has
a steeple which is perhaps the most
venerable in the nation. When Co
lumbus discovered America the steeple
was 619 years of age, it's concentric
rings indicate, thus it is today 1854
years old.
The pioneers of the Pacific North
west used what nature provided, and
SO members of st. Peters church con-
verted q great tree into a steeple.
With the announcement of the Sc
lection of Tacoma as the western ter
minus of the Northern Pacific rail-
read. Bishop Morris came here TO
establish a church upon land covered
by large trees. One was cut off 4S
feet above ground and the church con-
structed around it. The opening serv-
ice was on the ninth Sunday after
Trinity, in August, 1873.
Lacking a bell, Mrs. Theodore Hos
mer, Sunday school teacher, wrote
some time later to her church in Phil
adelphia and soon one was received.
Ivy covers both the church and its
steeple now, but the bell still tolls its
message atop the ancient tower.
