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."

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."
