A preacher was winding up his temperance
sermon with great fervor, "If I had all the beer
in the world, I'd take it and throw it into the
river."
And the congregation cried, "Amen!"
"And if I had all the wine in the world, I'd take it
and throw it in the river."
And the congregation cried, "Amen!"
"And if I had all the whiskey and demon rum in
the world, I'd take it all and throw it in the river."
And the congregation cried, "Hallelujah!"
The preacher sat down.
The song leader stood up very tentatively and
announced, "For our closing song, let us sing
hymn #365, 'Shall we gather at the river."
