In the north wall, and lacing the entrance to the sacristy, was cut a tablet to the memory of Susan Bailey Lang. This edifice contained sittings for about thirty-three persons, and was chiefly used for the Sunday-school and for week-day services.

On the evening of Palm Sunday, April 2, 1882, the beautiful little church was almost totally destroyed by fire, -- owing ai)parently to a defective flue,-- and the chapel and almost all the furnishings were involved in the general destruction. The ruin wa* nearly comi>lete, nothing but a small portion of the walls remaining.

Fortuuately, there was an insurance on the building, and, although much difficulty and delay were experienced in settling matters with the insurance companies, who preferred to rebuild themselves rather than pay the insurance, work on a new church wiis finally begun, and after many months of anxiety and trouble the new building was completed, services being meanwhile held in private houses.

The services of re-consecration took place on the 4th of November, 1883, just nineteen months after the conflagration, and were conducted by the Right Rev. H. C. Potter, assistant bishop of New York, aided by several others of the clergy. Of these ceremonies the Churchman for November 17th has the following account : " This church was re-consecrated on Sunday, November 4th, by the assistant bishop of the diocese, aided by the Rev. Francis Chase, rector ; the Rev. Dr. Olsen, a former rector; the Rev. W. W. Montgomery, of Mamaroneck ; the Rev. F. B. Van Kleeck, of White Plains ; and the Rev. ilessrs. Forbes and Drisler. The church, repaired and rebuilt after the fire of last year, and adorned with many gift* from parishioners and friends, was bright and cheerful. A large congregation was in attendance and the music, though simple, was perfect.
