Temperance Sermon

[editor]

Happy New Year! May your new year be blessed with love, laughter and temperance in all things.

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,

"We Shall Gather at the River."

   Thanks Editor - I needed this laugh. Welcome back - it's nice to hear from you.

Happy New Year to you also. My wife and I will have a quiet and safe New Year at home.
