Excerpt from Just a Minute! Moment-Readings on Scripture Passages

We mean exactly what we say, and are straining every nerve to finish up this present moment's task to take the next one up.

A single minute! What prodigious happen ings have taken place in sixty seconds! A single minute has decided the destinies of men and nations. They have signed a treaty, read a paragraph, a text, a single sentence, and a door has opened to a larger life.

We do not need to read a book to become wise unto salvation! A phrase will sometimes do.

Excerpt from Just a Minute! Moment-Readings on Scripture Passages

No other phrase in the daily speech of us American men and women falls so frequently from our lips as "Just a minute."

The telephone girls repeat it a thousand times each day. Mothers utter it in response to the querulous or insistent claims of their children; clerks to impatient customers; nurses and doctors to sick people whimpering for attention; all people to all other people in all the frenzied rush of modern life. "Just a minute, just a minute, just a minute." How different it is from the Un poco tiempo of the Spaniard, which, in reality, is "Never!"

We mean exactly what we say, and are straining every nerve to finish up this present moment's task to take the next one up.

A single minute! What prodigious happenings have taken place in sixty seconds! A single minute has decided the destinies of men and nations. They have signed a treaty, read a paragraph, a text, a single sentence, and a door has opened to a larger life.

We do not need to read a book to become wise unto salvation! A phrase will sometimes do.
