One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay, for his hungry stomach, decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. On the way through school, he found he 

had only one thin dime left and he was very  hungry. However, he lost 

his nerve  when a lovely young woman opened the door.Instead of a meal he  asked for a drink of water. The woman thought he looked hungry, so she 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." 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.

The woman feared opening  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."
