Identification Tags

EARL E. SIMMS

The use of identification tags by our armed forces was under discussion in a class in a Christian Science Sunday School which was composed of college men. The discussion was interrupted by the question of a young naval officer candidate, "How can I protect myself from the aggressive mental suggestions of sin, sickness, discouragement, and fear?"

The teacher pointed out that just as the identification tags around his neck constantly bore testimony to his human identity, just so it was necessary for him ever to identify himself spiritually —to know himself as the perfect child of God, hence forever free from error's thrusts.

In our daily experience we often have occasion to identify ourselves. Men and women alike carry something to identify them which they may use to introduce themselves, open accounts, and establish credit.
