Sunday, April 8 – 1928
James Jackson, the Liverpool Football Club’s popular full back, has been appointed assistant minister at Shaw-street Presbyterian Church, Liverpool.
On Sunday night he preached a forceful sermon on the evils of drink and gambling at Everton Valley Presbyterian Church.
Gambling, he said, led ultimately to the ruin of the body and soul, and often led a man to commit felony to find the where-withal to continue.
Greyhound racing had clearly shown the spirit of this gambling age. Drink, he went on, was the lowest and filthiest of vices more loathsome than any pestilence.
