Excerpt from Religion and Rank: A Sermon Addressed to the Second Presbyterian Congregation in Albany, Feb, 3, 1839, the Sabbath Immediately Succeeding the Funeral of the Hon. Stephen Van Rensselaer
As this discourse may possibly meet the eye of some who were not acquainted with the ecclesiastical relations of General Van Rensselaer, it may be proper to state, as a reason for excluding all biographical detail, that he was a member of another church; and this brief tribute to his memory was designed, not to occupy the place of a funeral sermon, but merely as an echo to a deeply excited publick sensibility.
