P.E.I. Heritage Buildings: Murray River Train Station

Monday, July 7, 2014

Lately my blog is becoming a register of demolished buildings! Today the 110-year-old Murray River Train Station was demolished.

The Murray River village council in eastern P.E.I. decided to tear down its old train station.

HERITAGE PRAYER

We keep forgetting all of those who lived before us.

We keep forgetting those who lived and worked in our communities.
We keep forgetting those who prayed and sang hymns in our churches before we were born.
We keep forgetting what our fathers have done for us.
We commit the sin, Lord, of assuming that everything begins with us.

We drink from wells we did not find.
We eat food from farmland we did not develop.
We enjoy freedoms which we have not earned.
We worship in churches which we did not build.
We live in communities we did not establish.
This day, make us grateful for our heritage.

Amen
