We learned with deep regret of the death of Dan" Buckley, former hotel and club proprietor Mr. Buckley, who retired from this business about two years ago. had been making his home in this city where he had den tiled himself in his early years hotel man of reserve and integrity. He man of great personal dignity and brought to his business wherever he was the high est standards of service His latter years previous to his retirement spent for the most part at that pctur esque and pleasant club and in, Shady Brook, few number of years, Mir Buckley a pleasant and reserved host of few words but what he had to say worthwhile. He possessed a keen dry humor and his judgment sound and pertinent passing affairs. To know Mir Buckley as host at Shady Brook was to know man of rare parts. He had bright and apt word always and was, what is lacking in so many of the oncoming generation, good listener Those who knew him and came into contact with him. especially at the delightful woodland hostery, Shady Brook cannot help but feel that in MT. Buckeys pass

. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
The Citizens of the Kingdom
Text: Matthew 5:1-16

is a sheer statement of spiritual truth, dependent for its appeal to mind and conscience entirely upon its truth.
 The Serman on the Mount be- gins with a pronunciation of blessing. The teaching of Jesus was positive.
 There were times when, with scornful and terrible language, He lashed the sins of His day, partic- ularly the sins of those who oppress- ed the poor, took pride in their wealth and position, and made re- ligion a cloak for their hypocrisy. But the Sermon on the Mount is not sermon of denunciation. It is & sermon of uplift and appeal that sets before the citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven great ideal.
 The first blessing that Jesus pro- nounces is on the poor in spirit, to whom He says belongs the Kingdom of Heaven.
 There has been a great deal of controversy about what this means. Surely Jesus did not mean poverty in spirit" in the literal meaning of those words, for Jesus Himself was anything but poor in spirit and His disciples must be as their Lord.
 Evidently what Jesus had in mind was the contrast between the King dom of Heaven and the kingdoms of earth. In the kingdoms of earth 1t is the aggressive and self-seeking who are often powerful. In the Kingdom of Heaven the strength of a citizen is not his aggressiveness and self1shness. It is his capacity for love and unselfishness, and for sacrifice where truth and duty de- mand 1t.
 One might remark upon the strange contrast that is con- tained with worldly standards in other of these beatitudes. The citi- zens of the Kingdom of Heaven are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its savor or its strength 1t is of no value.
 Citizenship is not a matter of formal privilege, but of worth and right. The citizens of the kingdom are compared to a city that is set on hill. They are the light of the world.
 If the light is not shining, 1t is of no use. The citizens are called to glorious opportunities and responsi- bilities and they may so let their light shine before men that their good works may be seen and their Father in Heaven glorified.
 Here, too, we may note a very real distinction. There is an osten- tatious show of good works that glorifles the individual. That is not what Jesus means. He means the doing of good works in humility and to the glory of God.

|STATE TOPS IN
 BUYING POWER
Survey Conducted for New England Days Gives
 Connecticut HOnOrs

Hartford, Oct. 20 = Connecticut ranks first among New England states in the purchasing power of its citizens, 1t was shown today in a survey of government statistics made in connection with the sec- ond annual New England Days for New England Prosperity" :. cam paign. Initiated by chain stores, New England Days is endorsed by the New England Council. The drive is aimed at increasing consumption of New England products.
 More goods are sold at retail to the average consumer in Connecti- cut than in any other of the New England states, the survey showed. Annual sales per capita in the state amount to almost $350, as corn- pared with $27O for the nation as a whole. Although it has only 1.3l per cent of the country's population, total retail sales in the state amount to 1.68 per cent of the national to- tai.
 For every 100 families in the state there are registered 8 passenger automobiles, the survey revealed, again the highest for any of the six sister states, and comparing with a national figure of 75. Every 100 families, 1t is shown, has 103 radios, which, with the exception of New Hampshire, is the high figure for the territory, and is IS per cent higher than the national average.
 There are 97 families out of 100 in Connecticut whose names are wired for electricity, while only 67 out of 100 families in the entire country enjoy such service. One out of every two families has a tele- phone, while for the nation as whole the figure is one out of three
 The average farm in the state Is worth $8838, or almost twice the national value per farm and faI above that for any other New Eng land state. There are 32,000 farms in the state. More of the 12 lead ing national magazines are bought by Connecticut families than those of any other New England state 120 of such periodicals finding thei, way into each 100 Nutmeg state homes as compared with only 94 ir each 100 average American homes
 High as the Connecticut standard of living is. the purpose of the New England WDays campaign is to lift 1t still further, the report conclud- ed, by putting more men back t< work, spurring the consumption oi farm and factory products and causing the wheels of industry te turn even faster.

This lesson is taken from the early part of what we call the Ser mon on the Mount, which is gen. erally recognized among Christians as the greatest of all sermons.
 This was a sermon to a very small, selected audience. A great preacher of today would be apt to feel that his sermon was wasted if he delivered it to a handful of people instead of to 8 large congre- gation. In the church today as well as in the world, we tend to measure things too much by size and numbers.
 Jesus sat down while delivering the sermon. It was a session of teaching rather than the subjection of His audience to formal oratory.
 There were no tricks of elocution to enforce the significance of the truth. The Sermon on the Mount
