In His Service or the Name of Christ?

Thanks for the correction DG. IHS is an abbreviation for the name of Christ. Growing up I always heard it meant "In his service". I knew about ICXC as an abbreviation for the name of Christ but not IHS.
I broke my own rule. I generally look things up to make sure I have my facts right. But in this instance. I thought I knew the truth. Which begs the question. How many ideas do we hold true, that are not?

Thanks for the correction D.G. I never questioned that I had the wrong meaning associated with IHS.
I broke my own rule on fact checking....
