There'll be less sleeping dorn; In fu ture In the First Christian church of Los Angeles, because iho lector Just won't stand for It, ns Is evidenced by what he did some nights ago. It ,<eoms hat (he worthy man went into the pub pit to discourse*, when he was annoyed by two men who were sound asleep In one of the front pews. He called attention to the fact, and one of the lleepors was aroused, and did not transgress again, but his partner did not wake to the rebuke, and quietly slept on. The parson became indig nont, and as he had several hymn books in the pulpit with him, he tired pne or two at the sleeper, but without tvnll, and then lie unloaded all tho books he had at the Intruder, to the IStonlshment of the congregation, who by this time wore tittering at a great ?ate, but the sleeper didn't seem to mind It much, for he looked up, Mianged his position, and fell asleep *ga!n.
