Squirrels

[black mirror]

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 habita-
tion 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 group got together and decided that they
were not in a position to h arm 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.
