In Dedication to:
A Little Peaceful World Within a Bigger World at War
Twenty years ago this simmer, Mack's Inn Among the Pines, close to the spring-fed
headwaters of the North Fork of Snake River, came into being.
Today Mack's Inn is a little world, a place of peace in the forest. In that twenty years, the little world has grown. Today it is a summer camp with a post office, store, café, gift shop, dance pavilion, and garage ___ all of the things
that mark a living, growing American community.
"All" of these things is true today for the first time. We are met here to make that "all" truly inclusive.
Today at Mack's Inn Among the Pines, we dedicate this simple, rustic structure . . .
"A Little Church in the Pines"
Long ago a young poet once wrote that "A thing of beauty is a joy forever." There is beauty in simplicity; there is beauty in mountain and river and tree. There is beauty here today. There is peace and rest..
Without reference to creed, "A Little Church in the Pines" is dedicated to the high purpose for which it is intended.
At Mack's Inn, it makes a little world of peace complete.
