To Brother Epley
This beautiful poem I found I thought you might want to send it to the ACI...
It is so beautiful and heartfelt. 
We men we are the stronger sex, It always has been so!
We send our gifts to the mission fields to which the women go!
While up the steepest jungle paths, A woman bravely treads,
We men who are the stronger sex, Just pray beside our beds.
While women leave to go abroad, the heathen souls to reach,
We men, who are the stronger sex, Just stay at home and preach.
While women in some far off shack Do brave the flies and heat,
We men, who are the stronger sex, In cool and comfort eat.
Fatigued and weary, needing rest, The women battle on,
We men, who are the stronger sex, Just write and cheer them on.
O valiant men-come let us sleep and rest our weary heads,
We shall not be the stronger sex If we neglect our beds!
Author unknown...doubt if it was Brother Epley...

Sis. Alvear,
I had asked this question on another thread but evidently no one saw
it. I am posting it here again as it seems to be a good place to ask it
again!
Not for offense!
Hugs,

Re: Do You Believe In Women Preachers?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't know whether it is still in effect, but I remember when a man
had to be married before he could be a foreign missionary. However a
single woman could go.
Sis. Alvear, can you verify if this was/is true or not. I know you were
single when you went to the foreign field many years ago as a single
lady!
Not ever for offense!
