Vanity of Worldly Honours
John 5:41
I receive not honor from men.


The subjects of Charlemagne, after his death, set his corpse on a throne in a sepulchre, and put a sceptre in his stiff hand and a crown on his bloodless temples; but long ago he came down to a prostrate condition. At the Tuileries, in Paris, during the revolution of July, when the mob broke in, a boy, wounded to death, was laid on the emperor's throne, and his blood gave deeper crimson to the imperial upholstery ;but, after all, he came down into the dust where we must all lie.

(Dr. Talmage.)
