Collation history

Proofread against the source text.

Proofread against the official/CHL/JSP source plus scan/OCR witness; body confirmed against the Weebly transcript, no changes needed.

Collated word-by-word against the original scan.

Heavyweight pass: confirmed JD 18:353-357 citation against indexes/jod-page-index.json (unchanged; no IA page anchor exists in this range of JD Volume 18, so the existing BYU pointer remains the best available citation). Added session ("First Day Morning Session") and talk_order (2) confirmed against the Weebly page's own day-by-day agenda for the General Conference at St. George (dedicating the St. George Temple). Checked for volume-crossing continuation markers — none found. Body length and closing "Amen" line confirmed against the Weebly raw-HTML transcript; no truncation.
