Churches Reject Post-Mortem Probation

The New York Observer has sent letters to 501 Congregational Churches in New England, asking how they stand concerning the doctrine of probation after death. Of the replies received, 459 express emphatic disapproval of the theory, and the Observer's conclusion is that "not more than four to five per cent. of the churches of New England tolerate the hypothesis of post-mortem probation."
