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?"
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.
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.
She read these words..... "Paid in full with one glass of milk"
Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy
heart prayed:
