Proofread against the full Deseret News April 13, 1887 proceedings text; replaced a fabricated/mismatched compiler summary with the real source text.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: fetched and read the full Deseret News proceedings for this conference (Apr 13, 1887 issue, pg. 196-197, 208) plus the separately published Epistle of the First Presidency, via historicalgeneralconferences.weebly.com (newspapers.lib.utah.edu returned HTTP 418 to automated fetch -- known tooling limitation also hit by other reviewers on this vault -- so page-level scan OCR was not independently cross-checked). Cross-referenced the conference's own roll call of general authorities present and the full session-by-session table of contents to verify speaker, date, and session for every talk in this conference; this conference was held at Provo (Utah Stake Tabernacle) during the anti-polygamy 'Underground' period, with Apostle Lorenzo Snow presiding and the First Presidency communicating only by written epistle. Replaced a fabricated/mismatched compiler summary with Heber J. Grant's real First Day afternoon (Apr 6) discourse; corrected date/session from Thursday Morning (Apr 7) to Wednesday Afternoon (Apr 6) to match.
