Deuteronomy 15:4-11 Save when there shall be no poor among you… A poor sewing girl, who went to the late Dr. John F. Gray for advice, was given a, phial of medicine and told to go home and go to bed. "I can't do that, doctor, the girl replied, "for I am dependent on what I earn every day for my living." "If that's so," said Dr. Gray, I'll change, the medicine, a little. Give me back that phial." He then wrapped around it a ten-dollar bill, and returning it to her, reiterated his order, "Go home and go to bed," adding, "take the medicine, cover and all." He who takes account of the cups of cold water will not forget such deeds of kindness and charity. Oh to hear Him say at the last, "Ye have done it unto Me!"
