A preacher was completing a temperance
sermon:
With great expression he said, "If I had
all the beer in the world, I'd take it and throw 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 throw it into the river."
And then, finally, he said, "And if I had
all the whiskey in the world, I'd take it and throw it into the river."
He then sat down. The song leader stood very
cautiously and announced with a pleasant smile, "And, for our closing song, let us
sing Hymn #365: "Shall We Gather At the River".
