 St. John's Cart

     This cart represents some of the earthly works of St. John. According to firsthand accounts from genuine orphans in Shanghai, the boys would pull this cart through the business district while St. John visited individual stores. He would ask the store owners, "My orphans need food, please put some in the cart."

     Since there were no wealthy benefactors, feeding the numerous orphans was a daily struggle. This account comes from an orphan who was rescued by St. John as an abandoned infant.
