Carruth CR 100 912 inventory item cr-100-912-0058. Scholarly re-transcription of George D. Watt's original Pitman shorthand report, catalogued at the Church History Library. Papers of George D. Watt MS 4534 box 2 disk 2, Feb. 53-March 53, images 46-66. Sermon in Journal of Discourses 1:309; not in CR 100 317. Transcribed by LaJean Purcell Carruth June 2009. The shorthand uniquely preserves Young's own sacrament prayers, a blessing on the bread opening the meeting and a blessing on the water delivered in the middle of the sermon as was then customary, neither of which the printed Journal of Discourses carries. Recorded as a separate witness per docs/ingestion.md's Carruth policy; the printed Journal of Discourses 1:309 text stays preferred until this transcription is reviewed against it.
Ingested; not yet independently reviewed.
