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, "For our closing
song, let us sing Hymn number 365, Shall We Gather at the River. '"
