    unity" says a Correspondent in The Morning fler < d&of Friday , Oct . 17 ^ iu a , letter dated Geneva , Sept . SO . In fact , the Church of Geneva is so enlightened * so truly pious , so

    admirably pure , that the proper answer to these , attacks should be the reply of Philip to Nathaniel— " Come and see " Suvely our Church does not require another defence .

    But-as The Herald ' s Correspondent brings facts in support of his allegations , which would prejudice pareitte who send their children to Geneva for education , and deprive youth of the most excellent religious instructionsgiven in that city : 1 consider it as a

    duty of Christian charity , to enable the British public to forna a sound judgmeitt *> f < the facts alladed t ® . Such is my motive , M r . Editor , for requesting you to give a place in your paper to what follows .

    TtiF . first fact mentioned by The Herald ' s Correspondent , as " a proof , of the departure from the true faith it * the GhMch of Geneva , is , that the ancient Catechism . has been , supplied by another which maintains a guarded silence with respect of the Divinity of our Lord .

The English Edition offers ( from page 44 to 47 , again from p- 60 to 73 , and again from p . 74 to 78 , ) clear instructions on that subject , grounded on all the passages of Scripture which give the most exalted ideas of God and Jesus Christ .

    Now I ask what other mention can be made of the Lord , in a Catechism * but to repeat all the passages by which h is di vine attributes have heen revealed to men ? What can bemore Christian than to sum up ( page 132 ) the law and the prophets , in the love of God and thejove of our neighbour , in the words qf Jesus Christ himself ? What

    is more consonant to . the doctrines of the founder of Christianity ( who said , " b y * this shall all men -know that ye are my disciples , if ye have love one te-
