The Worth of Worldly Glory
Acts 25:22-27
Then Agrippa said to Festus, I would also hear the man myself. To morrow, said he, you shall hear him.


As the naturalist observes of the glory of the rainbow, that it is wrought in the eye, and not in the cloud, and that there is no such pleasing variety of colours there as we see; so the pomp, and riches, and glory of this world are of themselves nothing, but are the work of our opinion and the creations of our fancy, and have no worth or price but what our lusts and desires set upon them.

(A. Farindon.)
