A Special Hymn

[Edward D Lacey]

                                  A Special Hymn

The 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."

And 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."

      Sorry, I just couldn't resist!   Have a happy Christmas Eve and a Merry Christmas
