Fire & Brimstone
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. "
Then, 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. "
Then, finally, he said, "And if I had all the whiskey in the 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'. "
