Collated word-by-word against the original scan.

Heavyweight pass: no official churchofjesuschrist.org or CHL digitization exists for this pre-1880s discourse, so BYU ContentDM JD 15:202-210 remains the best verified source. Speaker, date, and theme (gathering, prosperity's dangers, Order of Enoch, cooperative economics) independently confirmed against [redacted legacy mirror] with no discrepancies found. Talk boundaries are clean.
