Sacred Heart Bible School
Rev. Harrington loaded
with one-liners for trade
By GEORGE W. CORNELL
AP Religion Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — The big, glib Rev. Bob Harrington,
“chaplain of Bourbon Street” in the jazz and strip section
of old New Orleans, is loaded with one-liners for his trade:
“You don’t need 80-proof booze in your body when you’ve
got the 100-proof Lord in your heart.”
He packs such quick, crisp sayings into a roving, off-beat
ministry which he carries on not only in the street’s, clubs
and bars, but on records, radio, television and in guest
appearances at conventions, organizational meetings,
church rallies, state fairs and country-music concerts.
An “inspirational entertainer,” he styles himself, and
he wraps his messages in showmanship. “It’s the sizzle to
help me sell my steaks,” he says. And he lays on his zippy
maxims of faith in rapid-fire order:
“It’s fun being saved ... Fun is not a beanie cap and
propeller. Fun is having a hand on the handle of life... It’s
having your act together, a faith to live by and a purpose

Church begins

begun the Children’s Church. It

start doing.”
In an interview, the Rev. Mr. Harrington, 49, a 6-foot-2,
240-pound man in bright-blue leisure suit, a gold-colored
pendant at his neck, said with characteristic gusto:
“I want every eye in America to see, every ear in Amer
ica to hear and every heart in America to know it’s fun
being saved.”
Os his work on his home grounds where he and 10 assist
ants, three of them also ordained ministers, have their of
fice and chapel on the second floor above Pete Fountain's
club, amid the peep shows, topless bars, jazz halls and
pick-up joints, he said:
“I can walk down Bourbon Street with a Bible in my
hand, the Lord in my heart and a smile on my face, and
people point. The crowds come from all over the world,
not to see me, but I let them. The Lord Jesus identified
with people where the people are.”
Presley funeral
(Continued from page one.)
along the processional route.
Sometimes the crowd surged toward
the motorcade and slowed its progress.
At least once a policeman had to
wrestle a grieving girl away from the
moving hearse.
But at the mausoleum, deep inside
the cemetery and out of the view of the
curious crowd, all was serene.
Floral tributes in front of the
mausoleum hid the lawn under a
spectacular quilt of color as some 50
members of the Presley family and 150
invited guests arrived for the entomb
ment.
Eight official pallbearers carried the
coffin inside for five minutes of
ceremony.
Vernon Presley, the singer’s father,
stayed behind for a few private
moments with Elvis, watching as
workers began to seal the crypt.
The mourners had first attended an
hour-long private service in the piano
room at Graceland. There they had the
opportunity for a last, personal farewell
in front of the open coffin.
“The emotion was very sad all during
the ceremony,” said Joe Esposito, a
business associate of Presley’s since
their Army days in Germany in 1959.
It had been reported that Esposito
found Presley unconscious on the floor
of his bathroom Tuesday, but in a new
interview Presley’s girlfriend, Ginger
Alden, claimed she made the discovery.
Celebrities who attended the service
were singer Ann-Margret, Presley’s co
star in the movie “Viva Las Vegas,”;
her husband, Roger Smith; actor
George Hamilton; guitarist Chet
Atkins; singer Jayne Morgan, and her
husband Jerry Weintraub, who is
manager of singer John Denver.
Dundee firemen

to advise them to give serious con
sideration to providing protection for
all county citizens.
The Dundee volunteers have
provided the service since October,
1962.
The county levied a tax for fire
protection in the county fire district.
This has gone for equipment and its
maintenance.
