George Q. Cannon · 1889 October General Conference · 1889-10-06
Reported for The Deseret Weekly; speaker did not review.
Reported for The Deseret Weekly; speaker did not review. This is the full standalone discourse reprint (a separate later issue), not the brief October 12, 1889 composite 'General Conference' proceedings article; the specific Utah Digital Newspapers item ID for this later issue was not independently re-verified this pass (source_url/witness URL may still point to the earlier issue) -- flagged honestly rather than left silently wrong.
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 George Q. Cannon's real, lengthy Third Day morning (Oct 6) discourse on the cause and cure of disunion; corrected date/session from Friday Morning (Oct 4) to Sunday Morning (Oct 6), and updated the witness citation to the later Nov 2, 1889 standalone full-discourse reprint rather than the brief Oct 12 composite proceedings article.
