Hymn no.365

A minister was completing a temperance sermon.... With great emphasis he said, 'If I had all the beer in the world, I'd take it and pour 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 pour it into the river.'

 

And then finally, shaking his fist in the air, he Said, 'And if I had all the whiskey in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river.' Sermon complete, he sat down...

 

The song leader stood very cautiously and announced With a smile, nearly laughing, 'For our closing song, Let us sing Hymn #365, 'Shall We Gather at the River.'

 

See you at the river!!
