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 very 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 so 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 the bottom of 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.Many years later that same young woman become 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 doctors 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 her 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

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed : Thank you GOD , that your love has spread broad through human hearts and hands .
