>>>> A southern Baptist minister was completing a

>>>> 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."
