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 sat down.
The song leader then stood very cautiously and announced with a smile, «For our closing song, let us sing Hymn # 365: «Shall We Gather at the River.»
