Proofread against the source text.
Heavyweight pass corrected a false 'excerpts only' claim in fidelity_notes; body is actually full text, confirmed against [redacted legacy mirror]
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: speaker, date, page range (JD 5:293-296), and opening/closing sentences independently confirmed verbatim against [redacted legacy mirror] Corrected a stale fidelity_notes claim that only a summary was reproduced — the body already contains the full text. This talk's opening/closing was found wrongly duplicated into the sibling file 1857-10-young-testimony-of-the-spirit-spiritual-warfare.md (a content-integrity bug in that file, now fixed); this file itself is correct and unaffected. No text changes needed; talk boundaries clean.
