A preacher was just completing a temperance sermon. With great emotion, 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 sat down.
The song leader then stood very cautiously and announced with a smile, "For our closing song today, let us sing Hymn #365 - "Shall We Gather at the River."
