Thirsty?

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!"

Sermon completed, the preacher sat down.

The song leader stood very cautiously and announced, "Our closing song this morning is Hymn #365:
let us stand as we sing.............. 'Shall We Gather at the River'."
