all;the beer in the world, I'd take it and;throw it into the river." And the
congregation cried, "Amen!" "And if I had all the wine in the world, I'd take
it and throw it in the river.";And the congregation cried, "Amen!";"And if I
had all the whiskey and demon rum in the world, I'd take it all and throw it
in the river.";And the congregation cried, "Hallelujah!";Sermon completed, the
preacher sat down.;The song leader stood very cautiously;and announced, "Our
closing song this morning is Hymn #365: let us stand as we sing..............
