Time and its Loss
Thain Davidson. Ephesians 5:16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. "You have made us lose a whole hour," said a gentleman to a lad as he came into a room where an important committee was meeting. "Beg pardon, sir, that is impossible," said the youth, taking out his watch; "I am only five minutes late." "Very true," replied the other, "but there are twelve of us here, and each one of us has lost five minutes; so that makes an hour." (Thain Davidson.)
