BAPTIST SQUIRRELS

There were four country churches in

a small TEXAS town: The Presbyterian

Church, the Baptist Church , the Methodist

Church and the Catholic Church.

Each church was overrun with pesky squirrels.

One day, the Presbyterian Church called

a meeting to decide what to do about the

squirrels. After much prayer and

consideration they determined that the

squirrels were predestined to be there

and they shouldn't interfere with God's

divine will.

In the METHODIST CHURCH
the squirrels had

taken up habitation in the baptistery Bowl.

The deacons met and decided to put a

cover on the baptistery bowl

and drown the squirrels in it. The squirrels escaped

somehow and there were twice as

many there the next week.

The Catholic group got together and

decided that they were not in a position

to harm any of God's creation. So, they

humanely trapped the squirrels and set

them free a few miles outside of town.

Three days later, the squirrels were

back.

But -- the BAPTIST CHURCH came up

with the best and most effective solution.

They baptized the squirrels and registered

them as members of the church. Now they

only see them on Christmas and Easter
