These departures from the traditional eschatology differ, however, so much from one another that they do not seem likely to issue in any one new doctrinal statement which can serve as a substitute for the older view. They cannot all be blended together. Belief in future probation, for example, is incom- patible with belief in the annihilation of the impenitent. But they have a common origin — revulsion from the severity which characterized the so-called orthodox doctrine. How far the older tene...t k still held in its integrity, it k difficult to judge; but it is certain that there has been a very large defection from it. In general, it must be said that the recent discussions and re- vkions of eschatological doctrines, while they have not resulted in general adoption of any particular restatement of the doc- trines, may be described as tending in the following directions : — (i) They tend to a much more hopeful view cpnceming the ultimate destiny of the human race; more hopefulness *as to the opportunities and probabilities of spiritual renovation and sanc- tification; more disposition to reject the tenet of a vengeful or endless infliction of torment on the guilty; more faith in the 244 RECENT CHRISTIAN PROGRESS patient love and large resourcefulness of God in his dealings with men.
