came in June IS. But before that
high hour in the life of this young
itinerant, there was completed
church standing on commanding
lot at Lakewood Park built by the
hands of the preacher and his con-
gregation, and the money they
could solicit among themselves and
from generous people living in the
city of Durham-all paid for and
ready to be dedicated as a house of
worship. The Time-linnit caught up
with Mr.. Haynan, and the Confer
ence moved him to another charge.
Having established his reputation
for building churches, for the first
twenty five years of his ministry,
he was sent to places where new
churches or parsonages needed to
be built, repaired or started from
scratch. Promotions came as they
do to all Woodworking pastors, and
until the time of his retirement,
he had served some of the largest
churches in the North Carolina
Conference in Weldon, Washington,
Wilmington, Sanford and Burling-
ton. In 1850, Mr.. Hayman having
served 40 years without the loss
of a single roll-call at his 40 Con-
ferences, he requested a retired re-
lation. To this request the Bishop
in Charge and the District Super
intendent of the Wilmington Dis
trict, agreed, provided Mr.. Hayman
would permit the Conference to
use him as a retired supply where
ever needed in the Area around
Wilmington and Southport. In 1850
he was relieved of the heavy re-
sponsibiities of a large church, and
was assigned to Carolina Beach
Beach where he served four years.
During that pastorate, he began the
work of raising funds to build a
new church. Having succeeded in
getting that project off to a good
start and with several thousand
dollars in hand. Mr.. Hayman asked
to be relieved of that church, and
he and Mrs. Hayman moved back
to Southport to live in their own
home which they named DUN
MOVIN.
Back in private life, Mr.. an d
Mrs. Hayman turned their atten-
ton to some of the early hobbies
of their itinerant years. Mrs. Hay
man concentrating on flowers, the
yard and her home, and work in the
church as a private person,-doing
teaching, playing for the organist.
Both had much in common. They
were graduates of the same Class
in Trinity College. They like to cul-
tivate flowers and vegetable gar
dens. Mr.. Hayman had, and still
owns his machine-powered work
ship; seagoing fishing boat; and
tends half acre or more garden
each year. They never go to the
market to buy vegetables. What
they do not eat, is stored in large
deep freeze for winter use.
These two retired ministers of
service, were having a good time
at home. But this was not to last
for long. We need you at YauponI
Beach. A church is needed there,
and we have come to call you back
in the pastorate to organize, de-
velop and build a new church at
this resort beach. Having taking
a vow in 1910 at the Altar of his
conference, to go with a glad hand
at the call of his conference and
undertake to do what his superior
officers commanded him to under
take. So today, Mr.. Hayman has
been on the job at Yaupon Beach.
Strangely enough at the call for
members on August %, 1857, there
were nineteen persons responded
for membership, exactly the same
number that responded to his call
in June 1910. There is now in pro-
cess of contraction a modern
church building with eight class
rooms, recreation hall, kitchen and
fine Sanctuary of the English
type with divided pulpit-and seat
ing capacity to care for the needs
of the growing areas along the
ocean strand for the next ten to
fifteen years. The enterprise when
completed and equipped for service
will cost upward of Fifty Thous-
and dollars, including the full city
block of wooded land right in the
heart of Yaupon Beach. Its in
fluence will reach to the Caswell,
Yaupon, TRANQUIL Harbor and Long
Beach resorts. The potential growth
and development of these areas I'M
