Bowing to an Old Coat
James 2:1-7
My brothers, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.…


The rich man is like him who, walking in the market with the cast-off coat of a nobleman to which the tinsel star was still sewn, felt elated and proud — a great man truly, because all bowed and raised their hats. Reaching home, he strutted before the glass with a lord-like air, and caught sight of the star. "Aha!" cried he, blushing red with shame, "what a fool the world is to bow to an old coat!"

(H. O. Mackey.)
