  THE “Regret” which we give you this month comes from a very high source. Almost every scholar of ancient languages will recognize the name. It is a very pleasant thought that these great men out of their busy lives have stopped to give us a glimpse of their past, in order to help the young people of to-day, who will be the men and women of to-morrow, to avoid the mistakes which they did not. We hope and believe that the Pansies will receive great benefit from these glimpses from the youth of great people. “I regret that I have not better acquired the art of pleasantly acknowledging the kindnesses shown me, and of showing my appreciation of people whom I really do appreciate. My influence with many would be greatly increased if I could but make them understand how warmly my heart goes out to them.” Willis J. Beecher. Dr. W. J. Beecher, Professor of Hebrew in Auburn Theological Seminary. double line (Luke ix. 23; xiv. 27.) AND didst thou hear the Master say He that would my disciple be, Let him deny himself each day, Take up his cross, and follow me?
