+But it is also plain that these two sides are gradually getting farther and farther apart, and that those in between will soon be compelled to choose on which side they will stand; for the two classes or natures of souls will soon be so widely separated that they can never more exist or work together as one people, and everyone will be ranged on one side or the other, according to Jesus’ statement in the 25th chapter of Matthew.
