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 1 at the next house. 2,
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 3 so brought him a large glass of 4. 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 5."
He said... "Then I thank you from my
heart." As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger
physically, but his 6 in
man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.

city, where they called in 9 to
study her 10 disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for
the 11. When he heard the name of the 12 she came from, a strange light filled his
eyes. Immediately he rose and went 13 the hall of the hospital to her room.
Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to
see her. He 14 her at once. He went back to the consultation
room 15 to do his best to save her life. From that day
he gave special attention to the 16.
After a long struggle, the battle was 17. Dr. Kelly requested the business office
to pass the final bill to him for 18.
He looked at it, then 19 something on the edge and the bill was sent to
her room. She feared to open it, for she was 20 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...
