By age 11, Haw­ley was the or­gan­ist at his lo­cal Meth­od­ist church in Camp­bell­ford, and was lead­ing the choir by age 16. He stu­died me­di­cine brief­ly in To­ron­to, then went to the Con­ser­va­to­ry of Mu­sic in Bos­ton, Mass­a­chu­setts. He ev­i­dent­ly in­jured his hand, cut­ting short a prom­is­ing mu­sic­al ca­reer, and he worked as a pi­a­no tun­er in­stead. How­e­ver, for se­ver­al years he served as or­gan­ist at the First Bap­tist Church in Char­lotte­town, Prince Ed­ward Is­land. It was there he joined the Sal­va­tion Army (SA); he lat­er worked with the SA in Win­ni­peg and Cal­va­ry, and wrote a num­ber of SA songs.
