A minister was completing a temperance sermon.
With great emphasis he said,
"If I had all the beer in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river."
With even greater emphasis he said,
"And if I had All the wine in the world,
I'd take it and pour it into the river."
And then finally,
shaking his fist in the air,
He said, "And if I had all the whiskey in the world,
I'd take it and pour it into the river."
Sermon complete, he sat down.
The song leader stood very cautiously and announced
With a smile, nearly laughing,
"For our closing song,Let us sing Hymn #365,
"Shall We Gather at the River."
