Among the Churches

Almost on the very top of Craig Mountain, Idaho, twenty-two miles from a railroad, river, town, or city, lies the lovely little Lake Waha, an ideal resting-place, where the citizens, old settlers, since the sixtys have made a refuge from the sweltering heat of the valleys, Lewiston, Lapwai, and other towns.

The view from the lookout point is one of grandeur, giving one glimpses of Oregon, Washington, and ldaho, Snake and Clearwater Rivers, and a number of canyons ripe and golden for the harvest nestling in their shelter.

But to-day for the first time has Truth been demonstrated upon Lake Waha's shores. Like Columbus when he knelt upon the ocean's beach and claimed America for the church, a handful of happy Christian Scientists enjoying their Father's beautiful gifts, have held their usual Sabbath service on the hillside of Lake Waha, and claim it for His own.
