guns has greatly affected the manner OF
serving artillery. In the early part of
the Manchurian war the Russian artillery,
taking positions in the open in the old

of concealed Japanese artillery. The re-
suits of this war, confirmed, it seems. by
those of the recent Balkan war, have
been to cause military men generally to
regard the concealed or masked position
as the normal one for artillery. This
means that the guns are hidden by q

THE JOY OF RECEIVING.

In the December Woman's Home
Companion Charles e. Jefferson. pastor
Of Broadway Tabernacle in New York
city, writes a Christmas talk entitled
The Joy of Receiving" in the course
Of which he explains why little children
enjoy receiving more than giving. He
says in part:
In little children, the joy of receiv-
ing outruns the joy Of giving. Children
are born beggars. They come into the
world empty-handed. and they stretch
their hands to those who are nearest
them. expecting to receive. 1t is in
stinctive for a child to ask. and it is
instructive for an adult to respond. The
child's mind Is az empty as its hands
Its mind reaches out with questions
and what are questions but hands of
