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 competed, he sat down. The song leader stood very cautiously and
announced, with a wry smile, “For our closing hymn let us sing Hymn #723,
“Shall We Gather at the River.”
