"The purpose of freedom is to create it for others."

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?

!["As soon as they enter into harbour, they are paid their wages and left as a prey to the most abandoned villains, prostitutes and publicans, who, in a few days, sometimes in a few hours, rob them of their hard-earned wages, of a voyage of one or two years.
