Norman Macleod, Church of Scotland moderator, considers Cain’s “Am I my brother’s keeper?” from Genesis 4:9. God united us together so that none can live for self alone. Indifference to another’s suffering will return to punish ourselves.
Scrooge, OTOH, says, “I wish to be left alone.” Is this the modern anthem?How can you consider yourself your brother’s keeper?

John Truair, a Congregationalist minister working with the American Seamen's Friend Society, laments plight of sailors. They can lose a year’s wages upon in hours of shore leave, from prostitutes and swindlers.
Is he merely saying we need harsher sermons on money management directed at sailors, or, must sometimes ministry involve admonishing the (external) abusers of your flock?
How can you help maritime workers today?
