dear brothers and sisters in christ,

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 
her 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."
