Man, at His Best State, Vanity

Sprague’s sermon on Psalm 39:5 contends that even in his best state—birth, intellect, wealth, or station—man is vanity. Worldly honors are fragile, limited, and ultimately empty.

A prolific preacher and author, Sprague is also known as the “Patriarch of American Collectors,” for his collection of autographs, including those of every signer of the Declaration of Independence, pamphlets and other materials. He authored the Annals of the American Pulpit, an important collection of biographical sketches.
