Conference record · 1839 October General Conference · 1839-10-05
Preferred witness preserves conference minutes or a later narrative summary rather than full sermon transcripts; import remains fragmentary because discrete complete talks are not recoverable from the available text.
Minutes and discourse extracts; PDF note says business material was omitted and sermon records retained.
Proofread against the source text.
Light review: in-context proofread, encoding-artifact cleanup, synopsis/session-artifact cleanup, and spacing fixes. NOT a full page-by-page scan collation.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: JSP source verified across both pages of Minutes and Discourses, 5-7 October 1839, pp.30-31. Text collated word-for-word against the JSP page transcripts (fetched directly, not jod.mrm.org) -- exact match throughout, including the editorial '[7th]' correction of the manuscript's '9th'. No missing or altered text found. Metadata confirmed accurate.
This is a living critical edition. If you find a transcription, metadata, or sourcing error in this talk, report it to the editors →Reports are collated against the page scan and land as corrections in the vault.
