DEDICATIONS

The following brief historical sketches of the John L. Cameron Sunday School

Class have been lovingly dedicated to the following persons:

TO ALL TEACHERS from 1950 to 1984 who have probed the pages

of Scripture, shared their knowledge and Christian experiences

and offered in good measure inspiration and guidance for growth

in the Christian community

TO ALL CLASS MEMBERS AND VISITORS who entered into the doors

of the classroom, received the interpretations of the Scrip-

tures, shared their fellowship, gave gifts, resolved to go

forth and live more abundantly, shared sorrows and helped

the less fortunate and shared a fuller and fresher vision

of the Hebraic-Christian tradition

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace, Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy; 0 Divine Master! Grant that I may not so much seek, To be consoled as to console; To be understood as to understand; To be loved as to love; For it is in giving that we receive; Pardoning that we are pardoned; Dying that we are born to eternal life. —Prayer of St. Francis

Introductory

Mr. Class President, Reverend Clergy, Members of the Cameron Sunday School Class, Dr. John L. Cameron, our esteemed honoree, and Mrs. Beulah Cameron:

We come to another historic occasion in the life of Hayes Barton United Methodist Church. I welcome all of you to this gathering in this Yuletide Season. Here is a golden opportunity to review the history of the Class for some three decades, on the even of the Observance of the Bicentennial of American Methodism in 1984. In two days, on December 6th, we will reach the 47th Anniversary of the Founding of our church.

(The purpose of this publication has been to make available to the members of the John L. Cameron Sunday School Class and other members of the church a printed history of the origin, growth and development of the class as a branch of Christian education within the total program of Hayes Barton United Methodist Church.)

(Surely the Holy Spirit has been at work in this part of the City of Raleigh. Gratitude is expressed here to Divine Providence for strength and inspiration for the preparation of this booklet.)

Cameron, educator, the only local churchman to date to have a Sunday School class named in his honor. 1986 Planned Observance of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Founding of our church.

The Chronology on Church History has been extended beyond the date of the Presentation of the John L. Cameron Photograph to note especially the significant events of the American Methodism Bicentennial Celebration in the nation, state and at the local church.

1984 On January 1, at the eleven o'clock worship service, the church used the traditional John Wesley's Covenant Service with the Reverends Dr. F. Owen Fitzgerald; Mrs. Michele Wellons; Rebecca Dameron, member of the local congregation; and Paul ("Skippy") Johnson, member of the local congragation, as celebrants of Holy Communion. Probable historical "firsts" in the church's 47 years of service: the first time two local members who are ministerial candidates assisted in celebration of Holy Communion, and the first time two women clergy served with two male clergy. Bishop Cannon was in attendance. This occasion marked the onset of the congregation's celebration of the Ameri- can Methodist Bicentennial. The John Wesley's Covenant Service for New Year's, Watch Night, Covenant Sunday, or Other Special Occasion, distributed for use by the congregation, noted the following: "On December 26, 1747, John Wesley urged the Methodists to renew their covenant with God. His first Covenant Service was held on August 11, 1755. He issued this as a pamphlet in 1780, and the form was used without alteration for nearly a century. After that, various modifi- cations were made from time to time, to give the people a larger share in the devotions. This service has been a blessing to Method- ists ever since 1755."

1984 On Tuesday, January 3, at 1:30 p.m., in the Senate Chamber of the State Capitol, Governor James B. Hunt, Jr., issued a Proclamation on the American Methodist Bicentennial Anniversary Year. The Reverend Ernest R. Porter served as master of ceremonies, and the Reverend Lawrence Lugar, Chairman of the North Carolina Bicentennial Celebra- tion Committee, made brief remarks on the nature of the celebration. Bishop William R. Cannon, Raleigh Area, responded to the Governor's Proclamation (thought to be the first issued in the fifty states) and with Bishop L. Scott Allen, Charlotte Area, and Bishop James H.

j . .

Miller, African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, accepted the Proclamation. The Senate Chamber seats were filled, with several dozen standees, including the compiler. On hand were television and other media reporters. Copies of the Proclamation were handed out to interested members of the attendants at the ceremony. The Governor shook hands with many members of the audience. (A copy of the Proclamation has been included in the Appendix.)

1984 Beginning on January 11, 1984, several speakers on church history were scheduled for presentations in the Wednesday Evening Fellow- ship program to assist in the local celebration of the American Methodist Bicentennial. They were: Harry Gatton, Charles Bryant, Leonard Smith, Grady L. E. Carroll, Sr., Dr. Fitzgerald and Karen Genaway

1984 On Wednesday, January 18, 1984, in the John L. Cameron Sunday School Classroom, Grady L. E. Carroll, Sr., presented a historical paper entitled "A Short History of Hayes Barton United Methodist Church: 1936-1984" to interested persons as part of the local church commemoration of the Bicentennial of American Methodism.

1984 On February 1, 1984, Leonard A. Smith, choir master, as part of the local church celebration of the Bicentennial of American Methodism, presented in the choir room a lecture on the formation of hymnbooks from Wesley's time to the present (with plans for the next issuance of a hymnbook in about 1990) and discussed several American Method- ist composers and authors, with some emphasis on three authors from North Carolina: Maud Merrimon Cunninggim, Raleigh native; Costen J. Harrell, one-time episcopal leader of the Western North Carolina Conference; and Austin Cole Lovelace (1919- ), native of Ruther- fordton. On display was Smith's collection of a dozen American Methodist hymnbooks in hardback and softback cover. The presentation stimulated much interest and favorable comment on the origins of hymns, combinations of hymnals and our heritage of hymnology.

1984 On Wednesday, February 8, 1984, as part of the local celebration of the Bicentennial of American Methodism, Dr. Fitzgerald spoke on the Structure and Functions of the Annual Conference; T. Harry Gatton spoke on Some Highlights of North Carolina Methodism; and Karen Gen- away showed slides on the Unification of the Evangelical United Brethren Church and The Methodist Church in Dallas, Texas, in 1968, Bishop Francis Asbury and his work on the American frontier and played a record to demonstrate the experiences of the camp meeting on the frontier. She concluded presentations by showing a folder on the Seventeen Official United Methodist Shrines in the United States

On Sunday, December 18, 1983, members of the class voted to donate fifty dollars from the treasury to the Warmth for Wake program, to assist needy Raleigh families with fuel demands.

Contributed to the Cleve Goddard Fund, the Betty Ann Holroyd Fund, the Bishop Lawson Fund and the Methodist Home for Children.

On Tuesday, February 7, 1983, at the regular monthly meeting of the re- organized Methodist Men's Fellowship Club, Sister Helen, Ph.D., former faculty member in a seminary and presently head of the Urban Ministry Center (The Ark,

located near the Edenton Street United Methodist Church Parking Lot) , spoke of the nature and extent of poverty in Raleigh, especially in Southside and the efforts of the Urban Ministry Center to relieve conditions, especially in winter months. The Roman Catholic nun noted some forty Raleigh churches contribute to her work, some on a regular basis, and expressed appreciation to Hayes Barton United Methodist Church for its contributions of foodstuffs and monetary means.

Instructional and Devotional Programs

For several years, teachers of the class have used the ADULT BIBLE STUDIES prepared by The United Methodist Publishing House in Nashville. Portions of Scriptures printed in the quarterlies are used, a teacher lectures on the topic from the Old Testament or New Testament, with discussions ranging over several fields of theological inquiry. Teachers and students seek for applications of the lessons to enrich spiritual life of members. For several months in 1967 and 1968, the class experimented with the use of study books and a book of selected readings published by the Graded Press in Nashville as curriculum material. They were entitled DIMENSIONS OF DECISION, FAITH IN SEARCH OF UNDERSTANDING, GOD WITH US and MAN'S SEARCH FOR A MEANINGFUL FAITH. Rationality for their use was that the speaker in the class was the class leader. Members voted to reject the series for continuous use and return to the traditional materials. For many years, on a voluntary, rotational basis, members have provided hot coffee prior to the instruction period, which has added to the fellowship. Regular Sunday School collections assist in purchase of Sunday School literature. Occasionally, classes have been cancelled so some or all members could hear reports on General Conference proceedings, an inspirational speaker, attend a Father's or Mother's Day Celebration in another class, attend a children's pageant, or hear a report on the church budget preparations for the future year. Usually we attend the traditional Church Day Assembly (also Pro- motion Day Rally) in the main sanctuary in September. For several years, following the early morning worship service in the Chapel, a brief devotional period was conducted for interested members of adult classes. Upon vote of church officials, this practice was discontinued. For several years, a brief devotional period was conducted in the class prior to the lesson; however, this was discontinued also. In its place was scheduled the reading of Scriptures prior to the lesson. In recent years, the class has acquired an abbreviated hymn booklet which has been used for hymn singing for a few minutes before lessons, usually led by Raymond K. Rhodes or Walter Leach. In the class, we discover and re-discover that Christ is sufficient for our age, our needs, our conditions and for all ages. God makes His will known to us in daily living. His companionship, inspiration and guidance are always available.

Unveiling Ceremony and Responses

The namesake of our Sunday School Class and his wife moved to Falls Church, Virginia, and promoted his career in the Federal Government in Washington. Last year, he and his wife moved back to Raleigh. They have shown especially good judgment in returning to Hayes Barton Church. They have graciously placed in my hands a photograph of our founder and teacher. It is appropriate that we. recognize John Cameron at this time in the history of the class, which is entering its fourth decade of existence and service. You have advanced the causes of Christian education in our midst. Your work and leadership have touched hundreds in our ranks and will continue to do so . I am happy to unveil this likeness of our pioneer leader when our church was younger. Thanks for your leadership and vision of how our church could be a better church.

I wish you good health, good cheer and growth in the Kingdom of God.

(Dr. John L. Cameron made brief remarks about the activities of the class in his absence from Raleigh, his career in Washington, placement of the photograph in the classroom bearing his name and the growth of the class in more recent years. Raymond K. Rhodes commented on his friendship with the Camerons; Mrs. Beulah Cameron commented on the choice of the photograph for the classroom.)

John L . Cameron Alumnus Loves Tar Heel State

"WASHINGTON—The message conveyed on John Cameron's ('37) necktie, 'How Sweet

To Be a Tar Heel, ' tells you immediately that this handsome Southern gentleman is proud of his North Carolina heritage. Cameron was born in Jonesboro, North Carolina, and spent much of his adult life in the state. In 1959, however, he entered the Federal Government in Wash- ington, D. C, as chief of the School Housing Section in the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. From this time until he joined the National Telecommunications and Informa-

tion Administration (NTIA) , he served in a variety of posts at HEW. For example, from 1971 to 1972, he was an acting associate commissioner, and from 1972 to 1973, he was a special assistant with the National Center for Educational Technology. In 1974, Cameron was named chief of the Educational Broadcasting Facilities Program. With the passage of the Public Telecommunications Financing Act of 1978, this program was renamed the Public Telecommunications Facilities Program and was transferred to NTIA. He now serves as director of NTIA's Public Telecommunica- tions Facilities Division. The Facilities program distributes grants for the planning and construction of the facilities associated with diverse telecommunications technologies; its goal is to help expand the delivery of non-commercial education and cultural programs and related instructional and information materials. Cameron holds an A.B. degree in mathematics from Elon. He says he was fortunate enough to attend Elon on a four-year basketball scholarship. He also holds an M.A. and doctoral degree in education from the University of North Caro- lina. After college, Cameron taught mathematics and physics at Jonesboro High, where he also served as assistant principal. From 1937-41, he was an instructor in business law and served as athletic director at Louisburg College.

During World War II, Cameron served in the U. S. Navy. Being an athlete, he became a part of a cadre of coaches responsible for shaping pre-flight cadets into top physical condition. He was discharged from the Navy as Lt. Commander in 1946. After his military stint, he taught health and physical education and coached baseball at East Carolina University. John and his wife, Beulah, live in Falls Church, Virginia. His wife is a pianist and organist by profession, and she teaches piano to private students in the area.

They have three children: William John, a manager in Ernst and Whinney in Washington; Elizabeth, a flutist in Raleigh, North Carolina; and David, a design and publications specialist in North Carolina.

As one might suspect, anyone with the name of "Cameron" is likely to be Scottish. Cameron says he's very interested in Scottish affairs and that the 'Cameron Clan was an important part of the Highlanders Festival this summer in North Carolina.

Asked if he had any retirement plans, John said he owns a six-acre lake in the Raleigh area and he expects to retire there when he feels he's not doing something worthwhile." (THE MAGAZINE OF ELON (College), October, 1979, p. 5.) 13

In the early 1950' s, when the need arose to provide larger church facilities for the growing congregation, John L. Cameron, who was involved in school construction interests in North Carolina, conceived the idea of moving the original white frame church from its original site facing Stone Street to another location farther back from the street to allow construction of a larger sanctuary and still preserve the original church for use. The small church has been bricked over and continues in use for the early morning worship service and other purposes at this writing. (At the time, a lady from the church inquired of Dr. Cameron how the basement of the church would be moved!)

In March, 1956, Dr. Harry C. Smith, whose portrait hangs in the church parlor, died. An arrangement was worked out whereby Retired Bishop Ralph Spaulding Cushman, Raleigh resident, assumed pastoral and preaching duties on an interim basis, while Dr. John L. Cameron, chairman of the board of stewards, conducted the worship services.

In 1951, W. Casper Holroyd came to Hayes Barton Methodist Church and joined the Cameron Class with Dr. Cameron as teacher; Holroyd became a strong and effective leader of the JOY Class (Holroyd, 1-3-84).

In 1984, the Cameron Family resides at 3726 Camley Avenue in Raleigh.

Dan Cameron, Raleigh contractor and brother of John L. Cameron, and his wife, Jane Cameron, were long-time members of the Sunday School class. They resided at Granville Drive.

In a letter communication to the compiler, Dr. Cameron noted that "the Cameron Class... has developed into a truly great class. It is in a class by itself." Further, he noted that he was proud of being the only local churchman whose name has been given to a Sunday School class.

Jesse Ormand Sanderson: Co-Founder of the Cameron Class

In September, 1983, John L. Cameron, in an interview at the church, noted that Jesse 0. Sanderson, former member of Hayes Barton Methodist Church, in the early Fifties, requested that John L. Cameron form the Young Adult Bible Class at the church. Cameron acted on the request and thus the two churchmen share in the distinction of being co-founders of the Young Adult Bible Class, with the name being changed to the Cameron Class at a later date.

Jesse 0. Sanderson served as superintendent of the former Raleigh Public School System from 1942 until his retirement in 1966. He was succeeded by Con- rad L. Hooper, from within the System; successors include Dr. John A. Murphy and and Dr. Walter Marks. Following his retirement as an educational administrator, Sanderson served on the Raleigh City Council.

In 1968, the new high school in North Hills was given the name Jesse 0. Sanderson High School. A portrait of the leader was placed in the entrance of the building. The compiler attended the dedication ceremonies in the following year. In retirement, Sanderson and his wife reside on Transylvania Drive in Raleigh. His church membership has been transferred to Benson Memorial United Methodist Church on Creedmoor Road.

In 1955, Sanderson, with the Raleigh Public School central office in a former residence on New Bern Avenue, near the Hugh Morson High School, admitted the compiler as a teacher into the System, where he was employed for twenty-six years, until retirement in 1981. Four summer sessions of teaching— 1969, 1970, 1971 and 1972 —were spent in teaching history courses (world and American) at Sanderson High School.

Raymond K. Rhodes: Educator

Rhodes Leaves NCHSAA After Legacy of Goodwill by Bill Woodward

The North Carolina High School Athletic Association lost a touch of eloquence and a truckload of support and loyalty last week when Raymond Rhodes announced his retirement as director of the Division of Athletics of the N. C. Department of Education.

Rhodes, a 62-year-old Arden native who lives in Raleigh, said last Tues- day at the board meeting in Chapel Hill that he "was changing lanes" and planned to play more golf and travel.

Rhodes has served as an adviser to the NCHSAA board of directors for 25 years. In addition to his role on the board, Rhodes served as secretary of the N. C. Athletic Officials Association for the past 20 years and is a member of the ad hoc committee on conference realignment. "The biggest thing he gave us was tremendous stability over the years," said Charles Adams, assistant executive director of the NCHSAA. "He has always given us solid support. The relationship between the association and the State Department was always an enjoyable one.

"In talking to administrators from other states, they don't seem to have that kind of relationship. They have power plays and other difficulties." But, said Adams, that was not the case when dealing with Rhodes. "Raymond was always someone who was working with you and not against you," Adams said. "We had our differences, but we always worked them out. And he always stood behind us, through the easy times and the rough times."

Rhodes was a three-sport star at Western Carolina University, where he received a bachelor's degree in health and physical education. In his senior year, 1942-43, he was a player-coach of the basketball team and took his team to the finals of the Carolinas Conference tournament.

After a stretch in the Army during World World II, in which he received a battlefield commission, two Silver Stars, two Bronze Stars and two Purple Hearts, Rhodes played one season of pro baseball for the Detroit Tigers' farm team in Dall as of the now defunct Texas League. He then returned to school, receiving a master's in health and physical education in 1951. Before joining the State Department of Public Instruction, Rhodes was athletic director at Eden Morehead High for 12 years. During that time, he was head coach in football, basketball and baseball. His basketball teams captured four state 3-A championships, and he served as a coach for the East-West Ail-Star Bas- ketball Game in 1954.

Rhodes served with the Department of Public Instruction as a consultant in health education in 1955-56 and was appointed to the staff in 1958 as a physical education adviser. During his years at the Education Department, Rhodes was an innovative administrator. He was instrumental in developing the Sports Medicine Division, the first of its kind in the nation.

Rhodes has received distinguished service awards from the N. C. Coaches Association, the N. C. Athletic Officials Association and the N. C. Athletic Directors' Association. He was presented his crowning honor at Wednesday's annual meeting of the NCHSAA in the Institute of Government Auditorium on the North Carolina campus. 15

NCHSAA executive director Simon Terrell presented Rhodes with a distinguished service award from the National Federation of High School Athletics Associa- tion, an award that goes annually to only two administrators in the nation. Terrell presented the award, saying that Rhodes would be "missed greatly, not only for his hard work and unwavering support but for the eloquence he offered the board." After the presentation, the more than 300 coaches and athletic directors from across the state gave Rhodes a standing ovation.

"That was a moment of nostalgia for us that have worked with Raymond for a long time," Adams said. "It was nice to see him get that kind of ovation. He hasn't received much publicity for the job he's done. He has always been the man behind the scenes.

"But he's devoted a lifetime to athletics and to the boys and girls of this state. We will miss him."

Earl Barnes: "The Tar Heel of the Week"

A Salesman Who Took a Chance and Succeeded By Guy Munger Sunday Editor

Earl B. Barnes, Jr., 60, is a salesman and proud of it.

He began as a newspaper carrier boy for the High Point Enterprise at the age of 12 and two years later was working for Sears, putting bicycles together in the stockroom.

He has worked for a big chain— 34 years with the J. C. Penney Co. —and he has been his own boss —president of Boylan-Pearce Inc., the Raleigh department store, since he bought the firm in 1980.

"The retail industry, I love it," Barnes said in an interview last week. "Until we sell something, the manufacturer can't make it, the salesman on the road can't sell it, the construction man can't build a house. I've always felt that the retail business was a key link in the free enterprise system." His early life was not lived in luxury. His mother was the sole support of Barnes and his sister.

"They were going to put us in an orphanage," Barnes said. "They thought my mother had TB. For a while we lived in what used to be a little grocery store but she took care of us. I had a wonderful mother." Barnes worked for department stores in High Point and Henderson and bor- rowed money for a year at High Point College before he was drafted in 1942. He was in combat with the Army's 29th Infantry Division, serving in England, France, Luxembourg and Germany.

After the war, Barnes went to work for Penney's in High Point. He remembers well the interview with the local store manager who hired him. "What's your ambition?" the manager asked.

"To put you out of a job so I can sit in your chair," Barnes replied.

"You come to work for me Monday morning," said the manager. It was the start of a long and rewarding career with Penney's.

. . '

After nine years in the stockroom, he was moved to the selling floor of the High Point store, in charge of men's ties. In 1955 he was transferred to the Penney's in Oak Ridge, Tenn., "one of the first stores ever opened in a strip shopping center." He moved to Bowling Green, Ky., in 1958, his first assignment as store manager. A heart attack took him out of action briefly in 1960 ("The good Lord told me to slow down a little bit") but he returned to work and managed Penney stores in Hickory and Fayetteville before being transferred to Raleigh in 1967 to manage the chain's new outlet in North Hills shopping center.

Barnes was reluctant to make the move. He and his wife had just built their "dream home" in Fayetteville and wanted to stay there. "My boss was very persuasive," Barnes recalled. "He said, 'Earl, you just don't understand the program. You're going to Raleigh.'

"I said, 'Yessir, now I understand the program. ' And it was the greatest thing that ever happened to me."

In September 1980, just before his 58th birthday, at a time when many men are having their first serious thoughts about retirement, Barnes made a big career change. He bought Boylan-Pearce Inc. in Cameron Village from the Dallas Holoman family, continuing a tradition of local ownership of the department store, founded in 1899.

"It was a frightening, scary thing," Barnes said. "I could have stayed at Penney's for the rest of my life. But I'm not the type.

"I wanted something so that I just didn't quit. I had seen too many people retire from the Penney Co. and die two years later or go home and sit down and become an old man. I didn't want to do that."

How has Boylan-Pearce been doing since Barnes took over? He declined to give figures on purchase price or sales but said the percentage sales increase set the pace for Cameron Village stores last year.

"It's going real good," he said. "It's been a lot of hard work, maybe harder than I'd hoped. It's not being semi-retired, I'll tell you that.

"My wife said to me the other day, 'Daddy, if this is retirement, we can't stand it physically, mentally or financially. "But it's very interesting, very challenging." Over the years, Barnes has seen almost every aspect of retailing, both big and small, including six or seven personal encounters with the late James Cash Penney, the multimillionaire founder of the Penney chain. Stories of Penney's thrift are legion and, Barnes said, at least some are true

Barnes recalled with a laugh a time when he and his wife were invited to have lunch with Penney in Nashville: "You know where Mr. Penney took us? Shoney's Big Boy. Mr. Penney didn't believe in tipping, so when Mr. Penney or his secretary picked up the tab, I left my hat in the chair, then went back to the table and left a tip for the girl."

Another time, Penney visited a store where Barnes was working in the shoe department

"In those days we wrapped things in brown paper," Barnes said, "and I had started out the back door to throw away the end of this roll of paper. I figured it wasn't good for anything. 17

"Just then Mr. Penney came along. He was due to speak to the Rotary Club at 12:15 p.m. and it was noon. But he asked me to get a pair of scissors.

"He took that roll of paper I was going to throw in the wastebasket and cut off enough strips to wrap 16 pairs of shoes. I'll never forget it. He said, 'Son, thrift is what built this company.'" Similar old-fashioned virtues still guide Barnes. He has served, for example, on boards of merchants associations and chambers of commerce wherever he has lived and is currently board chairman of the North Carolina Merchants Asso- ciation. In 1981-82 he was district governor of Rotary International, traveling 20,000 miles, visiting clubs in Eastern North Carolina in what he called a "just tremendous" experience.

"Raleigh and Wake County have been extremely good to Earl Barnes and I feel obligated in any way I can to give back to my church and my community," he said. "That sounds like a politician, but those are my gut feelings." Barnes does have his moments of relaxation—walking two or three miles a day, a weekend home at Lake Gaston—but selling is still what matters most: "I still love to be out on the floor, talking to the people. The detail work— the figures— that just eats me up."

William Albert Cade (1887-1964) : Retired Clergyman and Cameron Class Teacher

"For the Lord knows and is fully acquainted with the way of the

(consistently) righteous." _ .. —Psalm 1:6i ^ (Amplifxed)/»

Those who knew Brother William Albert Cade will agree that the psalmist was writing about his kind when he expressed so well the relationship of the righteous man with his God. William Albert Cade was born in Kipling, Harnett County, North Carolina, on January 20, 1887. His parents, Joseph Martin Cade and Cornelia Arnold Cade, blessed him in infancy with the atmosphere of a Christian home. Therefore, it was a normal anticipation for him and for them that his life would be dedicated to God. He prepared for the Methodist ministry at Trinity Park Preparatory School, and Trinity College (Duke University), graduating in the class of 1913, earning the B. A. degree, majoring in Religion. Brother Cade served the following appointments in the North Carolina Con- ference: Bridgeton; Centenary, New Bern; Edenton; First Church, Rocky Mount; First Church, Laurinburg; First Church, Morehead City; Grace, Wilmington; Fayetteville district superintendent; Front Street, Burlington; St. Paul's Goldsboro; Ayden; and district superintendent of the Raleigh and Wilmington Districts. He directed the Methodist College Advance and was for several years chairman of the Board of Trustees of Louisburg College, continuing a member of this board for the rest of his life. He was active on the Raleigh Board of Mis- sions and Church Extension on which he served with efficiency on many committees, Brother Cade was a loyal member of the Raleigh Rotary Club, the Executives Club, and a devoted member of the Raleigh Methodist Ministers' Breakfast Club.

Following his retirement Brother Cade was active in the Hayes Barton Meth- odist Church in which he assisted the pastors and taught a Sunday School class of young adults.

On October 14, 1914, Brother Cade and Miss Iver Ellis of Durham were married. To them were born two children: William Albert Cade, Jr., and Alma

Louise (Mrs. William J. Erwin) . Mrs. Cade died August 2, 1919. On October 12,

1921, Brother Cade was married to Eva Howard Covington of Laurinburg, North Carolina, who died November 13, 1962. To this union was born one daughter, Betsy Shaw (Mrs. Charles W. Close). Following a period of critical illness, Dr. Cade died on Saturday, Decem- ber 19th. The funeral service was held at Hayes Barton Methodist Church, Ra- leigh, on Monday, December 21, 1964. The following ministers officiated: The Reverend N. W. Grant, the Reverend R. H. Hodge, and the Reverend Howard P. Powell. Brother Cade is survived by three children, Major William Albert Cade, Jr., Raleigh, North Carolina; Mrs. William J. Erwin, Columbus, Ga.; and Mrs. Charles W. Close, Wellesley Hills, Mass., and eight grandchildren. Among the ministers of the North Carolina Conference Brother Cade was one of the most loved and highly respected. He loved the Methodist Church and did all he could for the church and her institutions without reservations or qualifications. He was never known to refuse whatever service he could render in the name of the church. Always, he did efficiently and thoroughly that which he agreed to do.

Following his retirement Brother Cade made a diligent effort to organize other retired ministers of his conference into a fellowship of prayer. This kept his own heart warm, his mind alert and his faith in God steady.

Brother Cade was a man of strong convictions. Therefore, he enjoyed the confidence and the respect of his brethren whenever major decisions were to be discussed and opinions considered. He was able to preserve the friendship and good will of those with whom he could not always agree but with whom he continued to work. He was a good example of a Christian who could respect the opinions of others and at the same time preserve his own integrity and add to his spiritual stature

When it became obvious that he could no longer grow physically it was even more obvious that he could grow and would grow spiritually and mentally. His love for, interest in, respect for and devotion to his Bible was impressive. This made of him a radiant example of Peter's program of "growth in grace." "Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and a- bound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from the old sins. Wherefore then rather brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure; for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ." II PETER 1:4-11. The bishop and his cabinet in planning the program for the Annual Conference honored Brother Cade for many years with the request that he conduct the annual Love Feast. This he did with unusual effectiveness and efficiency. Among his many notes the family found the following in which we find in his own words the deep emotions and affections of his heart to which he gave the title, MY PERSONAL WITNESS: "Dear Brethren: More and more as the years come and go, and I attain to a ripe age and a half century in this Conference, I look forward to this Love Feast hour the closing day of each annual conference. I have participated in about every phase of our ministry in the church in the North Carolina Conference.

. '

"More and more my fellowship with one generation after another of you, my brethren, is not only a sacred memory, but is becoming a blessed and holy heritage.

"It is not shallow sentimentalism when I say that I have, and now do love all of my brethren! But this blessed fellowship has not been, and is not now, limited to you, my fellow ministers. My high calling and main business in this half century has been to love and care for the brethren, the people whom God and the church have given me opportunity and responsibility to love, encourage and direct along the upward way to God, to the heavenly home which is not far away. So I begin to share the vision and expectation of John of Patmos where it was given him to see the heavenly country. 'A new heaven and a new earth, in which we shall dwell with God; and we shall be his people, and God himself will be with us and be our God.

"It is our high calling to do our utmost to help make a new heaven and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness; especially the kingdom of God in this world and in our day. "And God shall wipe away all tears from our eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, no crying, neither shall there be any more pain... He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and God will be our God and we his children.

"Yes, may we be faithful unto death and He will give us a crown of life." (JOURNAL OF THE NORTH CAROLINA ANNUAL CONFERENCE RALEIGH AREA OF THE METHODIST CHURCH: 1965, pp. 157, 158)

In retirement, the Cades resided on Iredell Drive in Raleigh.

Mr. Cade presented the large Pulpit Bible to the church. In 1983, Mrs. Ethel Twiford, long-time educator in the Goldsboro Public School System, edited and published WITH A SINGLE EYE TO HIS GLORY: THE HISTORY OF ST. PAUL'S UNITED METHODIST CHURCH, GOLDSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA, including the story of Mr. Cade's service as pastor of the church during his tenure in the North Carolina Annual Conference.

Historical Notes

In recent years, a ledger of the class was presented to the compiler of this booklet for safe-keeping.

For several years, teachers in the John L. Cameron Sunday School Class have been honored for their devotion to the cause of Christian education at the Annual Sunday School Teachers Recognition Banquet at the church fellowship hall or at Balentine's Restaurant in Cameron Village.

For many years, the Cameron Class has had a traditional Christmas Social in the fellowship hall of the church; the compiler recalls in attendance at those occasions pastors from the Reverend Jack Ward Page to the present. Attendance has been excellent. The Reverend Leon Russell, native of Arkansas, served as pastor of our church from 1936 to 1940; later he was instrumental in founding North Carolina Wesleyan College, Rocky Mount, North Carolina; from 1973 to 1977, he served as Dean of Me- morial Chapel at the Lake Junaluska Assembly Grounds in Haywood County, North Car- olina.

. .

In 1982, Burley B. Mitchell, Jr., member of the church and former student of the compiler at Broughton Senior High School, was appointed a member of the North Carolina Supreme Court by Governor James B. Hunt, Jr., and was sworn in at the Court Building on Morgan Street in Raleigh. Some traditions have been established in the class: occasional use of the Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi, frequent singing of "We Are Climbing Jacob's Ladder" and regular use of the Scriptural admonition "So teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom." (PSALM 90:12) In recent years, volunteer groups have re-painted the classroom; curtains have been re-done to add to the attractiveness and appeal of the classroom setting. In earliest years after organization, the Young Adult Class met in a room on the second floor of the Old Church Annex on Fairview Road, according to Clyde Douglass, II.

The obituary of The Reverend William A. Cade, who served as a teacher of the class in the early 1960 's, was included in A SHORT HISTORY OF HAYES BARTON UNITED METHODIST CHURCH (pp. 186-188) by the compiler of this booklet. In recent years, usually in January, several members and former members of the class meet at the home of Leonard and Bobbie Blanton on Wilshire Drive for a covered-dish supper and good fellowship; beginning in late 1983, these families, the Cliff Andrews, the Leonard Blantons, the Grady Carrolls, the Robert Garrisons, the Richard Glassfords, and Richard Keggereises, began monthly meetings for meals and fellowship at Balentine's Restaurant in Cameron Village (named for Judge Dun- can Cameron, prominent nineteenth century Raleigh citizen) Sandy Chappell, member and some-time Sunday School teacher, possesses a com- memorative china plate of the early Hayes Barton Church building in the pines on Stone Street; apparently plates were secured and sold as a money-raising project for the church. Mrs. Mildred Fry, member of the church, possesses a plate also.

History repeats itself: On January 11, 1984, a bulletin attached to the Edu- cation Building bulletin board noted the formation of a Young Adult Sunday School Class (marrieds and singles)

On January 15, 1984, Church Extension Sunday, at the eight-forty-five worship service, Dr. Fitzgerald noted that nearly one hundred church members belong to the Ten Dollar Club, which provides funds for church extension in the Conference and beyond her borders. Bishop Garber was an early leader in the enterprise. Some of the longest-running continuous relationships with the class as members and as teachers of the class and teachers in other classes are those of the Cliff Andrews, Grady Carrolls, Clyde Douglasses, Casper Holroyds, Robert Redferns, Charlie Kilmers, Richard Glassfords, Raymond Rhodes and Iggy Burroughs.

Grady L. E. Carroll, Sr., following retirement in 1981 after thirty-one years of service to youth in Anson County and the Wake County School systems, contributed his speaker's stand from his classroom to the Cameron Class. These incomplete records, reminiscences and recollections chronicle a third of a century of service to the causes of Christian education in Hayes Barton Unit- ed Methodist Church in the Capital City. The compiler regrets errors and mis- information included in these pages. The exact year and date of the name change from Young Adult Bible Class to the Cameron Sunday School Class is unknown to the compiler, "unofficial class historian." Since the compiler became a member in the fall of 1955, the class has met in its present location, Room #109, in the Education Building. (In the vicinity, at the present location of Bob Garrison's office, the Reverend Dr. Harry C. Smith had his office.) 37

Losses of teachers and class members by death since 1955 have been the Reverend William A. Cade (1964), retired member of the North Carolina Conference; Betty Ann Williams Holroyd, to whom the Chapel organ was dedicated; Charles Moody Smith, retired member of the Western North Carolina Conference who served as minister of visitation for several years; William Marion Storey, Raleigh attorney; Dr. David Kline, who died after transferring membership to another church and who was a member of the faculty of North Carolina State College. In their retirement years, Mr. Cade and Mr. Smith traveled to the Holy Land and later shared their experiences in lessons and through a slide presentation.

In recent years, Raymond K. Rhodes has been the principal teacher and has offered more lessons than any other teacher. He makes thoughtful preparation, does research into commentaries and other teaching aids, uses experiences from World War II days when he was an officer in Europe, childhood experiences in Buncombe County in Western North Carolina to probe the implications of the themes, demands and expectations of the Scriptures. His teaching brings close attention, good responses and offers challenges to more abundant Christian living in the latter portion of the twentieth century. His forceful, thoughtful presentations are laden with literary quotations, good humor and grace. (Men and women from the ranks of the local church and church staff who have entered full-time or part-time Christian ministry have included the following: Robbie Carruth, son of Paul and Roberta Carruth; Dr. Robin Scroggs, son of Wade and Lucille Scroggs; Paul Johnson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Johnson; Rebecca Dameron, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Thomas Dameron; Pat Hughey and Suzanna Ross, member of the church staff, who married a son of the church.) In an interview with Mrs. Pauline Reavis Keggereis, 2709 Gordon Street, Raleigh, who was one of the members of the class from earliest days of its existence, she stated that the class was in existence in 1950 and that John L. Cameron was the teacher then. This is the earliest date that has been provided the author about the establishment of the class. In recent years, the following couples from the Hayes Barton Church family have attained their Fiftieth Wedding Anniversaries: The Reverend and Mrs. Horace C. Jones, General and Mrs. Wiley Miller Pickens, Mr. and Mrs. Emerson Stanford, Dr. and Mrs. Verne Caviness, Dr. and Mrs. C. E. Abernethy and Mr. and Mrs. Don Fry.

On February 8, 1984, in a discussion of the structure and functions of the Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church, Dr. Fitzgerald stated that the value of Hayes Barton United Methodist Church is $1,500,000.00.

Grady L. E. Carroll, Sr., Church Historian

Madame President, Reverend Clergy, Members of the Asbury Bible Class

In 1936, Hayes Barton Methodist Church was organized. In 1937, the Asbury Bible Class was organized. In 1939, the Chapel was opened for worship services. In 1955, the cornerstone for the new sanctuary was laid.

In 1955, also, we came to the local church. Through the years, we have seen many programs come and go. We have seen the work of superintendents and teachers in the various levels on Sunday School instruction. We have seen and known of the work and dedication of one of our members, Mr. Mac.

To me, this is a suitable occasion to note his churchmanship and that of his lovely wife.

I secured from the family a photograph of "Mr. Mac" and had it framed and placed upstairs in late November in the Education Building.

I call your attention to this handsome likeness of our pioneer leader.

Take notice of it each Sabbath you are here.

Well done, good and faithful servant. I am happy to recognize your leadership. May you carry on for many more years.

Good health, good cheer, and continue to grow in the Kingdom of God.

Ground-Breaking Service for Pre-School Building of Hayes Barton United Methodist Church

The Ground-Breaking Service was originally scheduled for March 6, 1983; however, because of the level of congregational giving for the project, it was thought best to delay the ceremony. Bishop William R. Cannon was to be the preacher at both services of worship on that day.

The Ground-Breaking Service was held on Palm Sunday, March 27, 1983, at 12:15 P. M. in front of the altar in the Large Sanctuary because of inclement weather. Principals were The Reverend Dr. Reginald W. Ponder (who hurried to

the church from worship service at Fuquay-Varina) , Dr. Fitzgerald, the Reverends Michele Wellons and R. Keith Glover, Wes Chesson, Mrs. Page Separk, Marshall Hartsfield, Kent Burns, Richard Rice and associates in his architect firm of Raleigh, and two representatives from the Youth Division. The Service lasted about fifteen minutes with a medium-sized congregation in attendance, including the church historian. A small box filled with soil had been placed in front of the altar for use in the ceremony. No official photograph of the ceremony was taken for archives purposes. Karen Genaway took a small snapshot of the children who participated in the ceremony.

These notes were prepared by Grady L. E. Carroll, Sr., church historian, on March 27, 1983.

RAZED HOUSE EYED IN SPILL OF FUEL OIL INTO FALLON CREEK By Sharon Kilby Times Staff Writer

Fuel oil that spilled into Fallon Creek this weekend and killed some aquatic life may have come from the demolition of a house at Reid Street and Fairview Road in central Raleigh. Rev. Owen Fitzgerald, Jr., minister of Hayes Barton United Methodist Church, which owns the property the house was on, said he received word last night, when he returned from a trip out of town, that state officials wanted to talk with him in connection with the spill. State officials believe they have pinpointed the source of the oil, James D. Sheppard, Jr., spokesman for the state Division of Environmental Management said this morning. But he said the suspected source will not be named until an investigation is completed. City and state officials got complaints about 7 p.m. Saturday of a strong odor of fuel oil and the pooling of fuel oil on the surface of Fallon Creek, a small stream that flows through Fallon Park in central Raleigh, off White Oak Road where Byrd Street comes to a dead end. City public utility crews, under the supervision of state environmental management officials, began cleaning up an estimated 400 to 500 gallons of oil. The work continued until about 11 p.m. Saturday and lasted all day Sunday, said Marion L. Berkley, city safety coordinator. Berkley said straw dams were built in the creek to absorb the oil. When they became saturated with the oil, they were raked off. State officials were concerned that last night's heavy rains might have washed away the straw dams and allowed the oil to move downstream. But Berkley said the only dam left when crews finished last night was still intact this morning, al- though some oil was moving downstream past the dam. Sheppard said if the oil has dispersed downstream, "it would be futile to try to clean it up farther down." Fallon Creek empties into Crabtree Creek, which empties into the Neuse River downstream from the city water treatment plant. Sheppard said that once the oil gets into the larger Crabtree Creek, it "will be so dispersed there won't be enough quantity to do any real damage." Sheppard said the spill apparently occurred Friday, a full day before officials were notified, so as much as half of the oil spilled could have flowed downstream before clean-up efforts began. Over the weekend, officials found dead crayfish and worms and one dead fish within a mile downstream of the spill, Sheppard said. He described it as "not a massive kill, but not anything we want to see either." Fitzgerald said he was aware of an oil leak problem at the house site. The house was torn down to build a parking lot for the church. Fitzgerald said the church contracted with Wadsworth Wrecking Co. to remove the house. A sub-contractor was handling excavation work involved in removal of the basement walls, he said. James Wadsworth, owner of the wrecking company, could not be reached for comment this morning. Fitzgerald said the walls of the basement had been removed and the large hole that had been the basement had filled with water from rain over the past two weeks. Last week, Fitzgerald said, oil appeared on top of the water. He said it apparently came from an underground fuel oil tank. Fitzgerald said he left town on Friday, having been assured that the oil would be properly removed. He said the contractors were running two pumps to remove the water under the oil and were to have used straw to dispose of the oil. When he returned Sunday, he said, the site was filled in. "We are very, very sorry about this whole thing," Fitzgerald said. "It is very tragic. We would not have let it happen if we had known about it." 42

Berkley said the oil apparently had been pumped into the city storm sewer system, which empties from the surrounding area into Fallon Creek. Sheppard said the estimate of the amount of oil was based on the capacity of the oil tank from which it is believed to have come. Berkley said Fallon Creek had been an exceptionally clean creek, "probably one of the cleanest in the city. It's just a shame this happened." Sheppard said an investigation to determine who is responsible for the spill involves a lengthy report and a review by several enforcement officials. "That process takes a while," he said.

STATE SAYS PERSON RESPONSIBLE IS CLEANING OIL SPILLED IN CREEK By Sharon Kilby Times Staff Writer

The cleanup of an estimated 400 to 500 gallons of fuel oil spilled into Fallon Creek in central Raleigh has been turned over to the person state official believe is responsible for the pollution. James D. Sheppard, spokesman for the state Division of Environmental Manage- ment, said today that state officials would not release the name of the person because civil penalties may be assessed later. To name the person now might hurt the state's case, Sheppard said. Penalties could involve a $10,000 fine per violation and assessed damages. Sheppard said the party identified had taken over the work of cleaning up of the creek under the supervision of state officials. The fuel oil found in the creek, after complaints from people in the neighborhood Saturday evening, came from Fairview Road and Reid Street, where a house recently was torn down, Sheppard said. The property is owned by Hayes Barton United Methodist Church, and the house was being torn down to build a parking lot for the church, Rev. Owen Fitzgerald, Jr., the minister, said yesterday. Sheppard said the church, which had contracted out the work, is not responsi ble for the pollution of the creek. The once clear, scenic creek in Fallon Park has suffered extensive damage Sheppard said. Fish, crayfish and some "heartier species of worms" have died. "That amount of oil in a small creek has about wiped it out." Some of the oil has gotten past straw dams erected to hold it, Sheppard said. But it should cause no damage in Crabtree Creek, the larger creek into which Fallon Creek flows. "Whatever got into Crabtree is diluted and dispersed." Sheppard said. "The good news is that it was a one-shot deal and not like a steady thing over a period of time," Sheppard said. Sheppard said state environmentalists would not speculate on how long it would take for the creek to recover from the oil contamination. "It may take a couple of months or it may take a year or more." All but one of the straw dams built in the creek have been removed. A highly absorbant fiber called Fiberperl has been placed in front of the dam to absorb the oil. As it becomes saturated, the fiber is removed and replaced, Sheppard said.

Area Briefs PERSON RESPONSIBLE AIDS IN OIL CLEANUP

The person believed to be responsible for spilling about 500 gallons of fuel oil in Fallon Creek has agreed to help the state with cleanup efforts, state officials said Tuesday. James R. Sheppard, a spokesman for the state Department of Natural Re- sources and Community Development, and other NRCD officials declined to identify the person who is thought to be responsible. Sheppard said the oil was believed to have come from a tank in the basement of a nearby house that was being demolished. The milelong section affected by the spill was seriously damaged, he said. "The creek above the dam was pretty well wiped out," Sheppard said in a telephone interview. State officials built a dam of absorbent cellulose Sunday to stem the flow of oil that started about 7 p.m. Saturday. The person believed to be responsible was to have started working with cleanup crews Monday, Sheppard said. (THE NEWS AND OBSERVER, December 14, 1983)

CLEANUP OF OILY CREEK COMPLETED By Sharon Kilby Times Staff Writer

Cleanup has been completed of an estimated 400 to 500 gallons of fuel oil that found its way into Fallon Creek last weekend, a state official said today. James D. Sheppard, spokesman for the state Division of Environmental Manage- ment, said the last of the straw dams, placed in the creek to catch and absorb the oil, was removed yesterday afternoon. Sheppard said some streaks of oil that have been caught in crevices or in the storm sewer system still would appear in the creek from time to time. But he said rains should quickly wash the remainder away. The storm sewer systems in the central Raleigh neighborhood surrounding Fallon Park, where the small urban creek flows, dump into the creek. State officials have determined that the No. 2 fuel oil came from a lot at Fairview Road and Reid Street, where a house was demolished and the basement filled in. The oil apparently came from an underground tank and reached the creek through the storm sewer system. The house was owned by Hayes Barton United Methodist Church and was razed to make way for a parking lot. Sheppard said the church was not responsible for the spill. He said the state is "not in a position" to release the name of the responsible party, but he said the person may be required to pay civil penalties of up to $10,000 per violation and assessed damages from the spill. Sheppard said yesterday that the party responsible for the spill took over the cleanup yesterday. The spill was reported late Saturday to city and state officials, who worked all weekend on the cleanup. The creek, Sheppard said, has been "severely impact- ed," as evidenced by the kill of fish, crawfish and some hearty varieties of worms. "We don't expect any future damage," Sheppard said. He would not speculate how long it might take for the creek to recover. Sheppard said the larger Crab- tree Creek, into which Fallon Creek flows, should not be damaged by the relative- ly small amounts of oil reaching it. Beal Bartholomew, supervisor of housing inspections for the city, said his office issued a permit for the demolition of the house, which was the source of the spill. He said housing inspectors inspect the site of a house demolition

44 after the land has been graded to determine that the land has been left level and permits water run-off to follow a natural course. Bartholomew said his office did not otherwise supervise demolition projects. (THE RALEIGH TIMES, Raleigh, N. C, Wed., December 14, 1983)

HAYES BARTON BUILDS CENTER FOR CHILDREN

RALEIGH—Hayes Barton Church held Ground Breaking ceremonies on Sunday, March 27, for a new building to house classrooms for pre-school children. This new building is part of Phase Two of a three phase long range development effort of the 47-year-old congregation. Phase One, completed 3 years ago, consisted of extensive modification of the heating and cooling systems of the present building and minor renovations of the building for greater energy and program efficiency. Included in the present Phase Two is a $400,000 two-year campaign to purchas additional property for future development, in addition to the construction of th building to provide modern classrooms for pre-school children. Nearly one-half acre of additional property adjoining the present property was purchased earlier this year for a major expansion program in the future. The center for pre-school children will consist of a large reception area, efficiency kitchen, supply storage area, four rest rooms, and six classrooms, each of which will be equipped with ample built-in storage areas and work coun- ters with sinks. There will be a crib room for infants, toddlers' room, two nursery and two kindergarten classrooms. A new corridor will extend from the present building through the new facility to an enclosed walkway and porte cochere extending into the parking area. Construction of the new building is to be completed within nine months. The building, designed by Haskins & Rice, Architects & Planners of Raleigh, will be located adjacent to the existing church facility on Fairview Road. Security Building Co. of Chapel Hill are the general contractors for the 4,500 square foot brick building. Leadership for the development crusade has been provided by F. Scott Stidham chairman of the Long Range Planning Committee; Wesley Chesson, chairman of the Building Committee; and Lynn W. Eury, chairman of the Capital Funds Committee. Dr. F. Owen Fitzgerald is senior minister of the church. (NORTH CAROLINA CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE, April 26, 1983, Vol. 16, p. 4)

HUNT PROCLAIMS 1984 BICENTENNIAL YEAR OF METHODISM

Noting the Methodist Church's role in North Carolina history, Gov. James B. Hunt, Jr. yesterday proclaimed 1984 as the bicentennial year of Methodism. Hunt spoke to about 100 ministers and representatives from Methodist churches across the state at a ceremony held in the Old Senate Chamber of the State Capitol. "I had two great-grandfathers who were Methodist circuit riders, and I know something personally about what the Methodist Church has meant to the state," said Hunt, who was christened a Methodist but is now Presbyterian. "Methodists have built schools, colleges and homes for the elderly... your impact has been felt around the world and here in North Carolina, and it gives me great pleasure to proclaim 1984 as the bicentennial year of Meth- odism," Hunt said. /Q

Hunt presented the proclamation to Bishop William R. Cannon of Raleigh, Bishop L. Scott Allen of the United Methodist Church, and Bishop John H. Miller of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. While accepting the proclamation, Cannon humorously ordained Hunt. "Thank

you Bishop Hunt . . . I mean Governor Hunt," Cannon said. "As a bishop I promoted you because a bishop serves for life while a governor's term is short-lived." The Methodist Episcopal Church was founded in America in 1784 by John Wesley and had its first annual conference in North Carolina in 1785. In the United States, there are five branches of the Methodist Church— the United Methodist Church, the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, The Christian Methodist Episcopal Church and the Free Methodist Church of North America. W. L. Norton, Jr., director of communications for the N. C. Conference of the United Methodist Church, said all branches, with the exception of the Free Methodist Church, can be found in North Carolina. The church is divided into two conferences statewide. The North Carolina Conference has 845 churches and 213,000 members in the eastern part of the state and the Western North Carolina Conference has 1,165 churches and 277,000 members. There are more than 35 Methodist Churches in Wake County, 21 of which are in Raleigh. (THE RALEIGH TIMES, Raleigh, N. C, Wed., January 4, 1984)

Most Stay One to Two Years MINISTERS STAYING LONGER IN PASTORATES By Joe McLean Times Church Editor

The son of a Presbyterian minister was recalling the length of his father's ministry while talking with two other companions. "The average length of pastorates at one church would be over 30 years for three ministers I can recall," he said. "I don't know of three other pastors today who can make that statement." A Methodist minister mused about the length of pastorates in the Methodist church since the end of the four-year rule in 1938. "It seems to me that other denominations are meeting us in this regard," he said. "Their terms are getting shorter and ours are getting longer. Why, our average stay in a pastorate must be about the same as that of other denominations now. The Methodist minister's statement is backed up by a study of the length of Baptist ministers' pastorates undertaken in 1966 by a committee of laymen. According to the study of over 1,400 ministers in the North Carolina Baptist State Convention, the greatest percentage of ministers stayed in their pastorates between one and two years. The second largest stay was between three and four years, and the third between five and six years. There are 3,000 Baptist ministers in North Carolina. About 45 per cent responded.

. . .

"There isn't much change in this situation now," said an official of the Baptist State Convention. "There are no statistics to substantiate the 22-month figure but this is one that keeps cropping up when ministers gather to talk." The figures in the laymen's study reflect the great number of student pastors in the convention, the official pointed out. About 400 student pastors are active throughout the convention, the official estimated. Student pastors traditionally stay in pastorates for brief periods of time. "The average stay in a pastorate for Methodist ministers has not changed greatly despite the end of the four-year rule," Rev. W. Carleton Wilson, secretary for the North Carolina Convention of the United Methodist Church, said. But corresponding to the number of student pastors in the Baptist Church are lay pastors, keeping up the Methodist tradition of having a minister in every church or charge. Compared to 619 ministers in full connection in the conference (fully ordained and meeting the standards of the denomination) there are 146 lay pastors, laymen who do not have the educational qualifications for full connection but who are licensed to preach. "This is a large increase of lay pastors over past years," said Rev. Wilson. "The number of fully ordained ministers to meet the pulpits is decreasing and could become critical in the future." "But there is one thing to remember about the lay pastors," Rev. Wilson added. "Most of them are in school seeking to gain requirements for full ministry. And many of them will eventually gain these requirements." A study of 12 Raleigh churches shows the average stay at seven years. How- ever, most studied were larger churches which would tend to have longer tenure. Seven ranked even with the average or over the average, First Presbyterian, Forest Hills Baptist, West Raleigh Presbyterian, Edenton Street United Methodist, First Baptist on Salisbury Street, White Memorial Presbyterian and Hayes Barton Baptist The other five in the study were Hayes Barton United Methodist, First Meth- odist in Cary, Tabernacle Baptist, Westminster Presbyterian and Fairmont United Methodist First Presbyterian had the longest average tenure, 12 years, of the churches. First Baptist on Salisbury Street and White Memorial Presbyterian, were close behind with 11-year tenures First Presbyterian also had the minister with the longest stay. Rev. William McClanahan White from 1908 until 1934. The only other pastor in the 12 churches reviewed to stay 20 years or more was Rev. Lynn Brown of White Memorial Presbyterian. Besides Rev. White, the ministers with the longest stays at the churches they served were: Hayes Barton United Methodist, Rev. Paul Carruth and Dr. Harry C. Smith, both 8 years; Forest Hills Baptist, Dr. A. Douglas Aldrich, 12; West Ra- leigh Presbyterian, Rev. Edward J. Agsten, 12; Edenton Street United Methodist, Dr. Howard P. Powell, 15; First Methodist, Cary, Rev. B. L. Davidson and Rev.

CONSECRATION SERVICES HELD AT AS BURY , RALEIGH By Bill Norton Director of Communications NC Conference

RALEIGH—Asbury Church, one of four North Carolina Conference churches organized in the last five years, held a consecretion service for its first permanent structure located on almost 11 acres of land in growing northwest Raleigh on Sunday, Oct. 16. Bishop William R. Cannon conducted the service.

Consecrated was the 5,000 square foot Centrum which will be used for worship, recreation, and fellowship. Four relocatable modular units which will provide space for 11 classrooms and two restrooms have also been added to the property. The modular units will be used until the second educational unit is built. The church was chartered in June, 1979. The Rev. David E. Brownlee is the organizing pastor. It grew through the concept of small group meetings or Bible study groups in homes. In September, 1979, the congregation began meeting in Jeffrey's Grove Elementary School, one quarter of a mile from Asbury's current site. Asbury, located at 6612 Creedmoor Road, now has 196 members. "On January 1, 1984, we will be totally self supportive with an annual budget in excess of $145,000," Brownlee said. The total investment of Asbury United Methodist Church is $375,000. Support, either from grants or loans, was provided by The Ten Dollar Club, the Raleigh Board of Missions, NC Conference Board of Missions, Inc., the Duke Endowment, and the National Board of Missions. In addition, the NC Conference Board of Missions is leasing Asbury the four modular units for classrooms. Participating in the consecretion, in addition to Bishop Cannon and the Rev. Mr. Brownlee, were the Rev. J. Thomas Smith, Raleigh District Superintendent; the Rev A. P. Hill, executive secretary of the NC Conference Board of Missions, Inc.; and Asbury members Edward M. Harris, administrative council chairperson and Douglas E. Bennett, building committee chairperson.

Celebrate Methodism Fully!

Methodism is the most widely represented body of Christians in the world. The sun never sets on Methodism. It is the most racially inclusive denomination. Its missions are all over the world, and among all the peoples of the world. Its structure is unique in flexibility. Its doctrines embrace varieties of expressions of faith. Its policy of government is free of a rigidity that binds. It frees persons to experience personal faith and to practice social justice. Its inclusiveness allows and enjoys all levels of education and social strata. Methodism is Bible-centered, Christ-lifting, people-caring, service- rendering, world-embracing, now-ministering, and future-oriented.
