Are any important Church-functions absent from the list?
I cannot call any to mind.

Are there any lacking ones whose exercise could make the branch in any noticeable way independent of the Mother.
Church ?--even in any trifling degree?
I think of none.

If the named functions were abolished would there still be a Church left?
Would there be even a shadow of a Church left?
Would there be anything at all left?
even the bare name?
Manifestly not.

There isn't a single vital and essential Church-function of any kind, that is not named in the list.

And over every one of them the Mother-Church has permanent and unchallengeable control, upon every one of them Mrs.Eddy has set her irremovable grip.
