Excerpt from Manual of the First Congregational Church of Hartland, Vt., 1906 The production of this Manual has been advised by the members of the First Congregational Church of Hartland to take the place of one adopted in the year 1880. This is an attempt to outline some needful system of conducting the religious and executive life of the Church: First, to give to the Church a Form of Admission, Creed and Covenant which are more in touch with Congregational principles of this pres ent day; Second, to give to the Church a better method of administration which will serve as a practical working system at this special age.
