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 drankit 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 payment for a kindness.”
He said… “Then I thank you from my heart.”
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.
Years 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 her life to pay for it all. Finally, she looked, and something caught herattention on the
side as she read these words…… ” Paid in full with one glass of milk.”
