Former Daingerfield preacher in demand as speaker
(The following is reprinted
from the Washington, D. C.
Post, July 25, 1959.)
By Kf.iueth Dole
His voice is deficient in
ministerial unction, he looks
chubby Red Skelton
i proud of it), his theolo-
nveils few divine myste-
ries, and he claims no distinc-
tion for his prose.
Yes the Rev. Richard L. Ir-
vin, pastor of the North Beth-
esda Methodist Church, is in
greater demand as a public
speaker than most other min-
isters.
He averages three to six
speaking engagements a week
and has dates a year or more
ahead.
Mr. Irvin says, "I love to
make people laugh." It is sim-
ple arithmetic. "If people have
17 muscles to smile and 30 to
frown," he asks, "why wear
out muscles?"
Mr. Irvin has been preach-
ing and pleasing friends since
he was knee high to a Texas
up"

grasshopper.
His father, a hardware mer-
chant, would put him up on
the counter when a salesman
hove in sight. With the sales-
man as congregation, little
Dick would preach on Dives
and Lazarus and the hellfire
awaiting rich men who turn
away beggars.
If the salesman seemed ap-
preciative, he would get a
pretty good order.
At the age of 7, Dick con-
ducted his first prayer meet-
ing in his home church in
Daingerfield, Tex. When 8, he
preached his first full-scale
sermon.
His contemporaries mixed
baseball with religion. When
the sun beat down and they
stoped their ball game, one of
the gang would call, "Come

cn, Dick, come over here and
preach while we rest."
After graduating from the
Daingerfield high school, he
went to Southern Methodist
University and prepared for
ministry.
His first pastorate was White
Rock Methodist Church, Dal-
las, where, in 1940-45, he built
up the congregation from 75
to 600.
He was known as "the Bi-
cycling Pastor" from the way
he did his pastoral visiting.
This particular Texan cam^
to Washington because he was
called here, to help promote
a Methodist Board of Temper-
ance movie.
When his assignment was
CORNETT
completed, the Rev. Dr. As-
bury Smith, superintendent of
the Washington West District
of the Methodist Church, told
him about a ministerial chal-
lenge in North Bethesda. "We
have no land on which to build
a church," Dr. Smith said.
"We have no home focus, we
have no place for you to meet.
I hope you have your Bible
with you."
Mr. Irvin took the challenge,
started the church and now
has land, building and 400
members.
A bachelor, he is looking
forward to his 45th birthday,
Sept. 23. There will be a huge
cake with candles, and only
children will be invited.

Chevy's the only car of the

No awkward latches to fumble

greater roominess
Automobile Manufacturers Asso-
ciation records carry the facts on
this. In a Chevy sedan, for example,
you've got more front seat head
room than all but one of the high-
priced cars! And Chevy's front
seat hip room spreads up to 5.9
inches wider than comparable cars.

The NASCAR Outstanding
Achievement award goes to Chev-
rolet! Chevy wins for "the creation
and continuing development of
America's most efficient V-type
engines ... for the establishment
of new levels of V8 compactness
combined with outstanding smooth-
ness." And you can choose among
eight V8's and the Six that won
the Mobilgas Economy Run for its
class.
You're the expert on ride, so you'll
want to try Chevy's easygoing
smoothness for yourself. MOTOR
TREND magazine can give you a
hint of what you're in for: ". . .
the smoothest, most quiet, softest
riding car in its price class." And
Full Coil springs, of course, never
squeak, nevqr need grease.
Here's solid proof that Chevrolet
squeezes more miles out of a gallon:
In the famous Mobilgas Economy
Run, two Chevrolet sixes with
Powerglide took the first two places
in their class. Winning mileage:
22.38 m.p.g. And that, friends,
took top honors for Chevy from
every full-sized car!

POPULAR SCIENCE magazine
gave Chevy's styling a thoughtful
look, then said it this way: "In its

You'll find your own happy way of
saying that Chevy's the only unmis-
takably modern car in its class.
