     One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his schooling by selling gods door to door found that he

only had one dime (一角硬币) left. He was hungry so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.

However, he didn't beg 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 she brought him a large glass of hot milk. He drank it

slowly, and then asked, "How much do I owe (欠) you?" "You don't owe me anything," she replied.

"Mother has taught me 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 it also increased

his confidence in God and the human race. He was about to give up before this point.

     Years later the young woman became seriously ill. They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists

can be called in to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly, who was a famous doctor now was also

invited for the consultation (会诊). When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light

filled his eyes. At once, he went into her room. He recognized her. He went back to the consultation room

and decided to do his best to save her life. From that day on, he gave special attention to her illness.

     Finally the woman was saved. Dr. Kelly asked the business office to pass the final bill to him. He looked

at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because

she thought that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally she looked, and read these words,

"Paid in full with a glass of milk. Dr. Howard Kelly" Tears of joy came into her eyes as she prayed (祈祷)

silently: "Thank you, God. Your love has spread through human hearts and hands."
