John W. Sorrelle

I have been a student of Christian Science for many years and have experienced many healings through its study and through the help of practitioners. It is a joy to testify to the healing power of this great truth, given to the world by our precious Leader, Mary Baker Eddy.

My first contact with this Science came on an occasion when I was to sing a concert program. Overnight I had contracted so severe a cold that I could hardly speak above a whisper. A man who was concerned with the evening's program called on me and upon seeing my condition unhesitatingly recommended that I at once call a Christian Science practitioner. He stated that through Christian Science I could be healed soon enough to perform that evening.

In explaining something of Christian Science to me, my friend mentioned that he had been healed of the effects of inflammatory rheumatism so severe that one leg had been two inches shorter than the other. I was much impressed with his story, and feeling in rather a desperate situation, I agreed to talk with a Christian Science practitioner. He called one for me and explained my condition to her. She asked to talk with me, and I shall never forget the loving assurance she expressed that I should be free for the evening's performance. This proved to be the case. In the midst of the program I realized I had never been in better voice. After this convincing proof of spiritual healing I began an earnest study of Christian Science.
