Felix is engaged in this philanthropic work, and also in the midst of great usefulness in his church (First Church Lexington), strange that their beautiful and commodious church edifice - a building which was an ornament to the city and an honor to the denomination - should be utterly consumed by fire. This is the second time that this church has met with a similar misfortune; but they will soon be able to rebuild and prosper again.
