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 Baptist Church the squirrels had taken
up habitation in the baptistery. The deacons
met and decided to put a cover on the
baptistery and drown the squirrels in it.
The squirrels escaped somehow and there
were twice as many there the next week.
The Catholic Church 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 Methodist 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.
