Excerpt from A Sermon Delivered in Christ Church, Philadelphia, on Tuesday, April 20, 1841: By Request of the City Councils, at the Funeral Solemnities in Honour of the Late President of the United States
Taking the words literally, the psalr'nist employs here an hyperbole, as a strong expression of an impor tant truth the personage honoured,' as if halting but a few hours at an 11m, continueth scarcely a night on this prominent stage of his journey he IS not there on the morro'w Man' s whole life IS but a pilgrimage, a journey without a home; and of that pilgrimage, his life in eminent station is but as a single night. And so, verily, it often appears; for time has no absolute measurement.~ Turn to the warrior Who fought his way to empire, and who, for some twenty years, filled the world with his expanding' fame. He fell from this eminence, and died a captive and twenty years more withdrew from him and his the effective thoughts of the World. It is only a rhetorical exaggeration then, not untruth, to say that he abode but as the night of a weary traveller amid his thickly strewed glories. So brief does time appear, when' past! Contemplate then the much fieeter course of our late President; and it is scarcely exaggeration even, to declare that he tarried but as a night in his honourable sojourn.

Henry Ustick Onderdonk was the second Episcopal bishop of Pennsylvania.
Background
Henry Ustick Onderdonk was born on March 16, 1789, in New York City, the son of Dr. John and Deborah (Ustick) Onderdonk; Benjamin T. Onderdonk was his younger brother. His ancestry is traced back to one Andries Onderdonk of New Castle, Delaware, who married Maria Van der Vliet, and died in 1687.
Education
Henry was graduated from Columbia College in 1805 and then studied medicine in London and Edinburgh, receiving the degree of M. D. from the University of Edinburgh.
Dissatisfied with his profession, he studied for orders under the oversight of Bishop John Henry Hobart, who ordained him deacon in St. Paul's Chapel, New York, December 8, 1815, and priest, in Trinity Church, New York, April 11, 1816.
Career
Graduating from the University of Edinburgh, Henry returned to New York City where he became a practising physician, and from 1814 to 1815 was associate editor of the New York Medical Magazine. Dissatisfied with his profession, Onderdonk studied for orders under the oversight of Bishop John Henry Hobart, who ordained him deacon in St. Paul's Chapel, New York, December 8, 1815, and priest, in Trinity Church, New York, April 11, 1816. After four years in Canandaigua, then a missionary frontier post of the Episcopal Church in Western New York, he was elected, in 1820, to the rectorship of St. Ann's Church, Brooklyn, New York. Having been elected assistant bishop of Pennsylvania, after a bitter partisan controversy between the High Churchmen and Low Churchmen of the day, he was consecrated at Christ Church, Philadelphia, October 25, 1827, thereby becoming associated with Bishop William White. At that time Onderdonk was one of the most noted churchmen in the ministry of the Episcopal Church. On the death of Bishop White in 1836 he became the second bishop of Pennsylvania.
In 1844 Onderdonk wrote to the House of Bishops confessing his habitual abuse of intoxicating liquor, tendering his resignation of his jurisdiction, and asking for discipline. His resignation was accepted, and he was suspended by the House of Bishops from "all public exercise of the offices and functions of the sacred Ministry, and in particular from all exercise whatsoever of the office and work of a Bishop in the Church of God. " He accepted his sentence in a spirit of humility, spending part of his period of suspension in writing. So exemplary was his conduct that he was restored to the active ministry by the House of Bishops in 1856, two years before his death.
Onderdonk was known as one of the outstanding theological scholars of his day and an expert controversialist. In the early part of 1844 he had been the cause of an extensive controversy, carried on chiefly in the church press. Learning that Bishop John H. Hopkins of Vermont intended to give a series of fifteen lectures on Romanism in Philadelphia, occupying in rotation the pulpits of five parishes, he wrote Hopkins that he had received the information with "regret and astonishment" - regret, because he felt the subject calculated to cause undue agitation and excitement, and astonishment, because he had not been consulted as head of the diocese. Bishop Hopkins canceled the proposed lectures, with a threat that he would take the matter to the General Convention.
Henry Onderdonk died on December 6, 1858, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Achievements
Among Onderdonk's published works are: An Appeal to the Religious Public of Canandaigua (1813); Episcopacy Tested by Scriptures (1830); Episcopacy Examined and Reexamined (1835); Essay on Regeneration (1835); Family Devotions from the Liturgy (1835); Thoughts on Some of the Objections to Christianity (1835); Sermons and Episcopal Charges (2 vols. , 1851). He wrote several hymns and versions of the Psalms, which appeared in the collection of Psalms and hymns appended to the prayer book of that day.
