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.'
Smile y'all
