Brigham Young · 1852 October General Conference · 1852-10-06

Not separately published in the Journal of Discourses index for this conference; this title is supplied. Reported in the third person at the opening ('Prest. Young remarked:--') then switching to first person for the body of the remarks, consistent with period Deseret News conference reporting practice. Speaker did not review before publication.

Heavyweight pass: no Journal of Discourses or official churchofjesuschrist.org text exists for this Deseret News-only address; newspapers.lib.utah.edu (the preferred source_url) returns HTTP 418 to automated fetch, a known tooling limitation, so it could not be re-fetched directly. The historicalgeneralconferences.weebly.com witness (mirroring the same Deseret News minutes) was checked instead: opening and closing sentences confirmed verbatim against the live Weebly transcript. Speaker, date (October 6, 1852), and supplied title remain appropriate; no JD citation exists to cross-check against. Talk boundaries clean.
