Our First Word from Tunis

Our first word from Tunis comes to the Mission Board office on a post card from Elder L. R. Conradi, who, with Elder L. P. Tieche, of the Latin Union Conference, has passed into that country in returning to Europe from the visit to our work in Algeria. Writing from the city of Tunis, which he says is a fine city of 250,000 inhabitants, Elder Conradi reports that they had just visited the site of old Carthage—a ten-cent fare from the city. The post card shows the ruins of that ancient rival of Rome. On the hills above the ruined walls may be seen the extensive buildings of the “White Fathers” of Africa, a Roman Catholic missionary order which is working through all northern Africa, its representatives being found in all parts of the interior.
