A Glass of Milk

Unknown AuthorOne 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 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 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 year's later that same 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 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 "

(Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly.
