One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way trough 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 women 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, n den ask"How much do i owe u?"
"u don't owe me anything"she replied"Mother has taught us never 2 accept payment 4 a kindness"He said"then i tenk u from my heart"
As howard kelly left the house , he not only felt:stronger physically.but his faith in God n man was strong also.He had been ready to give n quit.
Years later dat young woman became critically ill . the locals doctors was 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 n went down the hall of the hospital to her room
Dressed in his Doctors gown he went to see her . He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her lyf.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 past the final bill to him 4 approval.He looked at it,then wrote something on edge n 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, n something caught;her attention in the sideas she read this word.
"PAID IN FULL WITH ONE GLASS OF MILK" (signed) Dr.How
Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed."Thank You God, that ur love has spread abroad trough human hearts n hands....
