Hi Jen, I had offered to take a look for the article - never did see your reply - and totally forgot.
Just after posting - one cousin passed away - followed the next month by her brother - & other family matters just keep coming - till last Saturday -hopefully a little quiet time
If you contact The Vancouver Public Library -Main Branch - They hold all the newspapers and can obtain a copy for you.

The "Temple" was exposed on the front page of the Vancouver Sun on June 25, 1959.
The leader of the cult, "Archbishop John I" was discovered to be William Franklin Wolsey, a convicted bigamist wanted on a string of extortion and wife- beating charges in the United States
