SUBSTITUTE GOOD FOR
BAD HABITS, ADVISES
REV. 6. c. BURBANCk

"You can't break set az habits
they had never been your weakness,
but the one way which you can do
away with them is to substitute good
cnes in the place OF the undesirable,
said Rev. G.. C.. Burbanck before the
Garfield Parent-Teacher association
Tuesday night.
Rev. Burbanck said that the inmates
of the prisons and reformatories to-
day. had let their habits get the best
of them which finally had put them
just where they were.
I'VE all have to certain extent a
number of good and bad habits which
of course can be made either into
good habits or revert back to the bad"
he said. THE thing for US all to do
is to overcome our weaknesses and
elevate our habits to the highest
level"
