Throw It All Into A River

A preacher, completing a temperance sermon, spoke with great fervor! "If I had
all the beer in the world, I'd throw it all into the river."


With greater emphasis, he said, "And if I had all the wine in the world, I'd
throw it all into the river."


And finally he said, "And if I had all the whiskey in the world, I'd throw it
all into the river, too!"


As he took his chair, the song leader stood and announced with a smile, "For
our closing hymn, let us sing number 365:"


"Shall We Gather at the River."
