And so the scene changed all along the shores of Hood Canal, where fire had been stopped. It was green again, and with blue water, and far snow peaks that blazed in summer sunsets the scene was glorious. Pictures of Hood Canal and the Olympic Mountains were printed in color in national magazines by the Progres Commission, on the theme, "It's cool, it's green, it's great Washington State!" Church Forest With the birth and growth of the Washington-Northern Idaho Council of Churches, Seabeck became a rallying ground for the region's Protestans every summer. Each June the tall young trees heard the hymns and prayers of morning devotions with lectures by specialists in religious work from around the world, and with group discussions through mornings and afternoons, end ing with vespers. In the evenings, amid forest shadows and murmurs. there were more talks and debates by the faithful. A fellowship hour closed each day of a Council of Churches summer conference at Seabeck. A communion serv ice was held on the last evening of the outdoor season of faith. 3o the pattern of the Seabeck summer program for the Council of Churches was developed In the years of the depression, through World War II, and the turn of the half-century. Sea beck became the "farthest reach," the outpost of the North west, for an ancient American tradition in sustaining faith in God and His works. The camp meeting. The village meeting house. The crossroads chapel. The brush-arbor service in the timber.
