The Giant of Keokuk' was the sub
ject last night Of Evangelist Hills at
the Baptist church, and he named THAT
giant sim"
That is the giant said he that is let
loose in your city and is doing an
awful and deadly work.
He took for his text John 1929, Be.
hold the lamb Of God which talseth
away the sin of the world He coll
sidered the last part Oh his text first
and the first part last.
First let us look at the sin of the
world and especially the sins Of Keo-
kuk. Tt is true said he that sin is
in the world It has been here ever
Z since the day Oh Adam and Eve our
FIRST parents. when after they had
sinned they hid away from God, and
so with men and women today who
sin try to hide away from God and
try to hide their sin, but they shall
be found out, every one Of them.
! Don't think for one moment sir that
your sin will not find you out because
1t will. No sin ever committed has
paid. It does not pay to sin.
am not SO much concerned as to
how sin came into the world as am
to how to get it out Of the world and
out Of the hearts Of people. It sure
ly is here and all around you in the
city Of Keokuk.
Look at the great giant the saloon
that is at work in our land and in the
city OF Keolul. This great octopus
is reaching out his fangs and fasten-
ing them around our young men and
boys and is dragging them down into
the awful mire of sin, dragging down
to Christless grave, and at last to
q Christless hell lost forever and for
ever.
Oh Christian men, members of the
churches in the city of ,Keokuk, why
not stand together in this great con.
fict with sin and evil and by your
votes at next election stamp out once
and forever this damable curse from
your midst. You can If you will.

DR.. Hills then took up one form o
sin after another. He left nothin,
unturned. Keolsul1, said he, has gon,
wild, has gone crazy, is going mad, il
their awful rush after sin, anything
everything but God. They are saying
oh God you get out of my way, an
hungry for hell and am going Their
at break neck speed.
Then he paid his respects to ever
