i.'. .ins to adapt oneself to bo
-miliar or to be in uc curduuee with
tin- world.
The tact of tin- matter is that we
ar. in the world relate d to the
world as well as affected by the
world. Bv the same token society
frowns upon tlio.se who do not
conform to the patterns or stan-
dards set by various srovcrnniontal
or social groups.
Basically the Christian is a non-
conformist in his relationships
with tin world Iff is in the world
hut not i onfornii d to the under-
lying principles of the world lie
is relate c to the world in purpose
hut not conformed in practice. He
is also affec ted by the world hut
not ultimately pososscd.
As ;i non-conformist the Christ-
ian's aim is not to so cleave or
adapt himself to tho world that ho
builds' worldly treasures for eternal
use.
As a non-conformist the Christ-
ian's desire is not to conform to the
standard of the- world that legal-
izes an eye for an eye or renders
evil for evil but as a peculiar
people zealous of good works and
rendering good for evil and a
"turning cheek" principle for
Christian world relationships.
It Is easier perhaps to be a con-
formist while in tho world rather
than a non-conformist. Tho highest
quality of man's God given capa-
city is required to take tho non-
conformist stand.
Ralph Waldo Emerson put it
this way "Whoso would be a
man must be a non-conformist."

ment of the Southwest moulded
my life."

Dr. Guy D. Newman president
of Howard Payne summed up her
career at the college by saying:
"Her devotion and dedication to
the institution has never been
questioned and her contribution to
student life thought and action
has grown increasingly with pass-
ing years. And therefore her re-
tirement will mean the loss of one
of our noblest and finest teachers."
"My attitude toward retiring"
she comments "is like Robert
Browning's when be said 'Grow
old along witli me. The best is yet
to be: the last of life for which the
first was made.' "
