Pitman shorthand by G. D. Watt; speaker did not review. BYU ContentDM's item-detail page currently fails to render in modern browsers (loads, then a client-side script redirects to the generic lib.byu.edu collections page; reproduced 2026-06-30, site-wide BYU bug, not link-format specific). Re-promote to preferred/source_url once BYU fixes this.
Page-anchored scan witness for Journal of Discourses volume 10, page 96. Currently the only reliably clickable link for this talk; BYU ContentDM is the institutionally preferred citation but its item pages are currently broken client-side (see the BYU witness note).
Proofread against the source text.
Proofread against the official/CHL/JSP source plus scan/OCR witness; body already clean, no changes needed.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: source_url and JD 10:96-98 citation cross-checked against indexes/jod-page-index.json; body collated word-for-word against historicalgeneralconferences.weebly.com raw HTML (Monday, April 7 afternoon session, second Young discourse of the afternoon, following his remarks on Bishop authority and preceding the Bishops' evening meeting). Boundaries clean. Confirmed distinct from Young's other three discourses in this conference — four different topics across three days, not duplicates.
