FILM MADE IN AFRICA
"The Arab" Feature Tomorrow Eye- ming At South Church, Was Made Amid Actual Scenes in Algeria.

"Ths Arab" Rex Ingram's beau tiful production filmed in northern Africa, will be the motion picture at the evening service at the South Congregational church tomorrow evening. To obtain the native at- mosphere, Ingram took his com pany to Algeria, where the picture was made amid the old Roman ruins and the modern Mohammedan cities. Although Ramon Novarro and Alice Terry. who is Mrs. In- gram, play the leading roles, the majority of the characters are na- lives secured on the spot, imparting an unusually thorough foreign air to the picture.
 The story concerns the love of an outcast Arab who falls in love with the daughter of Christian mis. sionary. who, despite her realization Of the differences in their codes, comes to return this affection but realizes that their love.is hopeless. An effort to massacre all the Chris tians under the care of the mis- sionary provides excitement, the plot being thwarted only by the quick work of the Arab lover.

 CAriStialIike Methods
Hy Tho Assoetated Fress

! By The Associated Press
 [ Atlanta, Dec 6. - The growth Of secret organizations contcssng Christian purposes and seeking to effect them by uncrris,iau methods and so defeating the very purpose they seek, IS d nemesis upon the free churches of America for their iail- ure to work together Dr. Rockwell Il. Potter of Hartford, Conn, today told delegates of the federal council of churches meeting here.
 Dr. Potter. who is moderator of the national council Of Congroga. I tiona churches, was on Inc same program with Dr. Thorton Whaling of Louisville, Ky; Carl E Mllhkcn, former governor Of Maine, and now president of the Northern Baptist convention; Dr. E. Mullins president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary at Louisville, and others.
 The committee on the policy of the council asserted m its report , that the greatest of all problems before the churches today is how we may present Christ more com. pellingly to the mind and heart of our day, so that he will become lord of mems conscicnces and master of their lives.
 "The doctrinal discnssi0ns which have shaken some denominations and which have attracted wide gen eral discussions" have had. in the Judgment of some, the unexpected effect of drawing the churches to- gcther, the committee also stated
 Numerous recommendations for the development of the councils work during the next four years were offered bY the committee. "1he divisive and sectarian spirit that expresses itself in competitive rivalries has too long been the scan. dal of American Christianity" Dr Potter declared. We must become conscious of our fellowship in the heritage of faith and the federal council must help us gain this con- sclousness and then become the means of the expression of it to our selves and to the world"
