from a wonderful and friendly litde community and should take stock of their good fortune at this milestone point in the life of their Church. No matter where I've been, when I mention being from RE.I., those I am speaking with will either conjure up fond recollections of a great visit there, or mention a desire to someday visit this place that everyone speaks so well of. P.E.I. obviously holds a place of respect and admiration across this country and we should all be proud of our heritage. As always, Kathryn and I still miss being close to our family home on the Island. Both of our boys were baptized in that Church; thus they will continue the legacy of our family's involvement there. For us, many generations of our relatives rest there, and it will always be an anchor for us, no matter where our travels take us. DOREEN MacLean ■ This reflection was given at the 125th Anniversary Service in February, 2002. The Lot 14 United Church situated in on the Ellis River Road was opened in 1929. This is the church we in Lot 16 were associated with between 1937 and 1943 when Dr. George Christie was our minister and lived in Lot 16 . On Sundays in the winter he had to cross the Grand River ice to the Charge. This road led to the shore from the S.W. Lot 16 road a mile away. My father-in-law "Mac" MacLean, an elder at that time, and the minister made their way down to the shore. They were to come off the ice below the Catholic church in Grand River and then travel the Ellis River Road to Lot 14 Church. The high tide had brought deep water onto the ice and they couldn't get off. They drove up the river to the Grand River Bridge by Mr. Henry Thompson 's shore which is now Cackleberry Farm . They could not make it onto the land there either and decided they had to forget about the service in Lot 14 for that day. They returned to this side of the river and headed for home. They did make if off the ice on the Lot 16 side by Glenford and June MacLean 's cottage but they were knee deep in water by the time they reached the shore. Luckily the horse took them home to a warm house and barn. 211 Church Reflections
