I say leave the "Bells" alone. They should go find someplace else to make cuts.

I will have a bake sale to keep them.

While looking for something else I came across an article on how the bells were hoisted to the tower in 1899/1900 and a photo of the big one - which is inscribed. See Canadian Architect and Builder vol 13, issue 11 p 214 (1900). You can get to it from: http://digital.library.mcgill.ca/cab/
