The Way of the World

The Way of the World.—A press despatch says: "A British Columbia miner has been fined $250 by a judge for working more than eight hours a day. Because he worked half an hour longer than the law allows, P. Zanani, a miner employed in the collieries of James Dunsmuir at Cumberland, B. C., has been found guilty by Judge Abrams of violating the eight-hour law, and fined $250." A man can not follow an honest employment more than eight hours a day, but the saloon man can work at his calling twice that long—and more. A productive or constructive tradesman is limited to eight hours, under penalty of fine or imprisonment, while the destroyer is allowed a double privilege. Such is the "wisdom of this world," which is "foolishness with God."
