The turning point in my life...

Marguerite A. Wilson

The turning point in my life came at a Wednesday evening testimony meeting in a branch Church of Christ, Scientist. A young man told of his experience in becoming an earnest student of Christian Science and of his joy in studying the weekly Lesson-Sermon, found in the Christian Science Quarterly.

I had not departed from the teachings of Christian Science, but had always depended upon Christian Science practitioners for help when away from home or in difficulty. As I listened to the testifier, I found myself fervently wishing I could feel that way too, and the angel message was, "You can."

I knew immediately that this was true, and from that moment I have enjoyed the study of the Scriptures and the Christian Science textbook, as well as all other authorized Christian Science literature. It was proof to me that, as our Leader says in the textbook (p. 1), "Desire is prayer; and no loss can occur from trusting God with our desires, that they may he moulded and exalted before they take form in words and in deeds." It was not long after this that I began demonstrating this truth for myself and became an active member of a branch church.
