Now, have the two, science and religion, never clashed, or have you kept them apart?" "They've worked in together," said Jock. "You don't say so because you ought, and think it good for me?"

Their swords clashed, but the principal attendants of the son of Amurath deeming the affair under the present circumstances assumed the character of a mere rash adventure, bore away the Turkish prince.
Kershaw charged furiously; the two lines clashed and clanged. Semmes' brigade came into action on the right, Kemper's battery supporting.
