One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay

his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he

was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house.

However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the

door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought

he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it

slowly, and then asked, "How much do I owe you?" "You don't owe me

anything," she replied. "Mother has taught us never to accept pay

for a kindness." He said..... "Then I thank you from my heart."

As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger

physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had

been ready to give up and quit.

Year's later that young woman became critically ill. The local

doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where

they called in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard

Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of

the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately

he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room. Dressed

in his doctor's gown he went in to see

her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation

room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he

gave special attention to the case.

After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the

business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He

looked at it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent

to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take

the rest of the life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and

something caught her attention on the side of the bill.

She read these words..... "Paid in full with one glass of milk"

(Signed)

Dr. Howard Kelly.

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed:

"Thank You, God, that Your love has spread abroad through human

hearts and hands
