Mrs. Caroline Atwater Mason, for merly of New Haven, is publishing this week, through the Fleming H. Revell company, new story entitled The Little Green God" It is the story of a. missionary returned from India, who beholds to his amazement the heathen- ism of half-hearted Christianity, and ultimately turns his back on so-called 1 Christian America to seek refuge in heather India.
