Proofread against the source text.
Proofread against the full Deseret Weekly April 13, 1889 proceedings text (plus the later standalone reprint where applicable); 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 Weekly, April 13, 1889 proceedings account (pp. 481-491) plus the standalone full-discourse reprint of Apr 20, 1889 (pp. 513-516), 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 is the conference immediately following John Taylor's death, at which Wilford Woodruff was sustained as President and the First Presidency reorganized. Replaced a fabricated/mismatched compiler summary with President Woodruff's real Saturday morning (Apr 6) opening remarks; date/session already matched the real source.
