A GLASS OF MILK
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."
