A

But you must understand, sir, that a person is either with this court or he must be counted against it, there be no road in between. This is a sharp time now, a precise time - we live no longer in the dusky afternoon when evil mixed itself with good and befuddled the world. Now, by God’s grace, the shining sun is up, and them that fear not light will surely praise it.
