SMALLEST STRIKE
IN The HISTORY
OF THE STATE
Six Employees or The Methodist
orphanase at jackson,
Walk Out.
Special to The Nesos.

Special to The Neus.
jackson, Miss, Jan. 19.-There have
been strikes and strikes, but the latest
wrinkle in strikes was developed in
Jackson when three teachers, two ma
irons and the assistant manager of the
Methodist Orphanage in this city
walked out.
The strike was caused by a COM
plant, real or imaginary, which was
laid before the board of directors of
the institution. The. charges were
directed against Superintendent Will
liams, who has been in charge of the
orphanage for long time, and whose
services have given general satisfac-
ton. After the directors had investi-
gated and sustained Mr.. Williams, the
teachers, matrons and assistant mana
ger decided to walk out. This they
did, leaving the institution without
teachers or attendants for the children
for the time being.
But Mr.. Williams soon had every
position filled except one, and has
several applicants in hand for that
place at this time.
There was some dissatisfaction over
Mr.. Williams methods, but just what
the difference was is not known to the
public. The teachers, matrons and
assistant manager called meeting Of
the directors of the orphanage and
formally laid their complaint before
the meeting. This was about the first
thing Mr.. Williams knew of any fric-
ton, so it is said, and the whole thing
was a complete surprise to him.
The directors action did not please
those who went on strike, but Mr..
Williams, after a conference with
them. thought the matter had been
satisfactorily adjusted. But next
morning after the meeting of the d.
rectors, he was asked to meet the
strikers in his office, which he did,
and was presented with the resigna-
ton of each. 80
There was some decentralization
among the children for time, but
everything has been Strengthened out
and perfect harmony has been estab-
lished, while the directors and Mr..
Williams are in perfect accord as to
his policy of conducting tn orphanage.

the Lutheran influence came into the
revision.
The Geneva Version.
This revision, too, grew out of
persecution. Philip II, the Red-hand-
ed and husband of bloody Mary, the
daughter of Henry VIII, was on the
throne. Phillip murdered 10000 peo-
pie in the Netherlands alone, and
Mary. being Roman Catholic, burned
at the stake numbers of Professionals.
Many of these Professionals went to
Geneva in Switzerland and the corner
fof France. Here they revised the
English Bible, from the standpoint of
the French naturally, as they were
living among those people. "This is
where Calvinism came in and the
Presbyterians," explained DR.. Chris
tian.
There were minor revisions, but the
next great one was that of King
