At the River

Temperance Sermon

A preacher from the deep south was finishing a temperance sermon. "If I had all the beer in the world," he said with expression, "I would take it and pour it into the river."

"And if I had all the wine in the world," he continued, with even greater emphasis, "I would take it and pour it into the river."

And finally, he cried, "And if I had all the whiskey in the world, I would take it and pour it into the river."

Having completed the sermon, he sat down.

At that point, the song leader rose and, with a sheepish grin, cautiously announced, "For our closing, let us sing Hymn #279, 'Shall We Gather At The River'."

 

Just dropped in to say hi. I will be back before long.
