learn from correspondent of the Union
that the town of Auburn, noted as being
the most religionless place in all California
made arrangements to comply with the
Sunday law, and for some little time closed
up the places of business on Sunday. The
experiment was working we'll when some of
the Solons of the Supreme Court pretended
to find that the law would interfere with a
certain class of men making money, and
forthwith declared this most wise and legal
enactment, unconstitutional and void. The
people of Auburn, thereupon, at once opened
their places of business and the stores, shops
and saloons are again in full blast. desecrat-
inc the day of the Lord, under high iudic al

The above unchrstian paragraph is from
a two weeks old ligious paper () printed
at Sacramento The editor enertans a
most unfavorabIe opinion of Auburn, it
seems. Very well, the place will not proba-
bIy go in as did Sodom and Gomorrah,
even if the reverend gentleman does class it
as the most ''re}igionless' place in the State
Bat that the unknd charge may not obtain
credence among those whose good opinion
is worth having. we desire to say word in
behalf Of the people Of Auburn. 1t is true
they do not pride themselves as being par
ticularly "rcligious cusses" neither do they
care a Shuck for all the reverend humbues
in Chlistendom, but they DO respect true
Christians, whose course of life show them
to be worthy followers of the meek and owy
Nazarene. They also possess sufficient in
telIigence to discriminate etween the no.
rant and wordy decIaimer from the pulpit.
and the intelligent minister whose mind ex
panded by the noble truths of Christianity,
bears no false witness against his brethrenA
Is Auburn the most "religionless' place
in the State? Let us see. Principally bv
the subscriptions Of non-professo:s has one
church edifice been erected in the place; and
now more suitable and beautiful building,
through the substantial assistance of those
who are not church communicates, will soon
lie finished and dedicated to religious wor-
ship. The citizens of Auburn have never
tailed in fulfilling in an active degree. one
of the highest attributes of Chrstianity--
charity. The widow and the orphan have
cen cared for; the poor and needy have
never been turned away with an empty hand,
from their doors. The voice cf distress has
never appealed in vain for sympathy; nor
the sick and dying ever wanted for hand
of kindness. When the elements Of destruc-
ton laid our thriving village in ashes, and
the accumulation of years of industrious toll
were swept away in an hour, the spirit of
assistance and mutual accommodation among
our citizens told of the existence of a senl-
ment worthy of the highest praise.
For place of its size there has been as
few infractions Of the law as any town in
California. Our people obey the laws, pay
their debts, respect virtue, repudate hum
bugs of every kind, don't drink poor speerits,'
are "keerfa of their clothes" and ''can watt
until "terrible Righteousness" overtakes and
oyerwhelms the Baptist Circular and its ul-
