 pr. Mcfarland came from Washing ton to deliver an address on 'The Moral Causes and Aims of the War; at the opening session of the Southern Sociological congress, at the First Methodist church this afternoon. 'I have spoken at three or four previous meetings of the congress- said Dr. Macfarland, "in some cases taking long journeys to do so; but I have been glad of every such opportunity, because I believe the Southern Socio- logical congress has distinct field and most important mission. Like the sociological congress has not taken as deep root in the south as in other parts of the country, although there are signs of the approach of new era. There are some social problems here which are peculiar to the south, and these should be grappled with by the best brains and the best hearts of the south in this Southern Socio- logical congress.
 "One of the best things the federal council has done," said Dr. Mcfarland was to create the general wartime commission. of which Robert F. Speer Is chairman. This commission has CO., operated with the Y M. C. A, with the so-called Fosdick commission, and with national service commissions of several denominations. aiding and CO., ordinating all. And one great result of the war is going to be to bring all churches and all who are interested in the welfare of their fellows closer to- gether.'
