is the last mad rush of planning for the Old English
Tea sponsored annually by the women of the St.
James Episcopal Church Auxiliary, Wichita, Kan.
Now for 80 years this springtime tea has proven a
Embarrassing miracle.
Twenty Episcopal families in Wichita, having no
church of their own denomination, decided in 1920
to establish one and build place of worship. Today
this church has g. 400 members, and to my thinking,
is one of the most beautiful edi6ces in the city.
Miracle Of the Old English Tso
Came 1921 and Bishop James Wise, badly in need
of immediate cash, asked the Auxiliary to see what
they could do about raising few hundred dollars.
Mrs. Walter White, an Englshwoman who had
been of the leaders in establishing the church,
suggested they give Old English Tea, selling
tickets for ST. The idea approved and Mrs.
White made chairman Members of the Auxiliary

place, Mr.. Povall's son, Ses-
sions, opened a printing plant
which has operated every
since. When Sessions died in
1947, Mr.. and Mrs. George
Povall purchased the plant.
Mr.. Fuller, a native of
Tupelo, came to Lexington
