The churches of the city have already been
casually referred to among the prominent
public buildings. As organizations they have
as full membership as is usual in cities OF this
Importance and population. The largest
Protestant church of the city Is the First
Congregational, and has, perhaps, the largest
membership. Next In Importance Is the
Sixth-street Methodist Episcopal Church
and its colleague, Kingsley Chapel, and next
the First Baptist Church and its colleague,
! Calvary Church. The Westminster Presbyte.-
rian Church comes next, and then in order of
| Importance and strength is the Episcopal
| Church, but occupying the largest and
most INTELLECTUALLY attractive structure OF
all. In addition to these are the Christian
| Church and the Church of United Brethren,
| the III. E. Church South, the Congregation
B'nai Israel, the Lutheran Church, the Ger
man Evangelical Church. The only Catholic
! Church in the city is st. Roses. 1t occupies
spacious structure upon one of the chief
| business streets, and numerically has the larg-
est congregation of any OF the religious organ
izations. There is also the German Lutheran
| Church, which holds a handsome structure in
! its own right and is large and influential
organization.
| MORAL AND SOCIAL STATUS.

,non+ of The criminal aIement and fine
preservation of general order, with the
influence of the churches and schools
already enumerated, the naturally quiet
| and conservative character of the peo-
pie, the powerful influence of the homes
| of the city, and the absence OF any considera-
BILE section given over to the lower orders of
society," it may be readily conceived that the
moral status of the people of Sacramento is
upon high plane. But in addition to these
should be added the influences of three public
libraries. The first is the State Library, &C.
cessible to a large class of people, as provided
by the laws of the State, and which contains
now $1,000 volumes, and in its character is
classed as one of the first libraries of the
Union. There is also the City Free Library,
controlled by a Board of Trustees, and pos
sessing over 1000 volumes, which is open to
all citizens, absolutely resident, by means of
passes or permits issued to those who can give
ordinary reference as to their stability and per-
manence in the city. There is besides the
Odd Fellows Library, having now upon its
shelves 3,4OO volumes, maintained by the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and ex-
tending its beneficial influence to all members
and families of members of that Order. Elk
ercising wide influence upon the character
of the people, and tending to their advance
ment and culture are many
