Proofread against the source text.
Proofread against the full Deseret Weekly October 12, 1889 proceedings text (plus later standalone reprints 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, October 12, 1889 proceedings account (pp. 481-492) plus 2 standalone full-discourse reprints from later issues (Oct 26 and Nov 2, 1889), 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 also saw Marriner W. Merrill, Anthon H. Lund, and Abraham H. Cannon ordained Apostles, filling three vacancies in the Twelve. Replaced a fabricated/mismatched compiler summary with Abraham H. Cannon's real Friday afternoon (Oct 4) remarks (given while he was still an Elder of the Seventy, shortly before his ordination to the Apostleship at this same conference); corrected date/session from Sunday Afternoon (Oct 6) to Friday Afternoon (Oct 4) to match.
