Fidelity

◑Contemporaneous report

Reported for The Deseret Weekly; speaker did not review.

Witnesses

Reported for The Deseret Weekly; speaker did not review. This is the full standalone 'Remarks' reprint (a separate later issue), not the brief April 12, 1890 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.

Collation history

Proofread against the source text.

Proofread against the full Deseret Weekly April 12, 1890 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, April 12, 1890 proceedings account (pp. 525-536) plus 2 standalone full-discourse/remarks reprints from later issues (Apr 19 and Apr 26, 1890), 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. Replaced a fabricated/mismatched compiler summary with Franklin D. Richards's real, full standalone 'Remarks' (Third Day morning, Apr 6); corrected date/session from Friday Afternoon (Apr 4) to Sunday Morning (Apr 6), and updated the witness citation to the later Apr 26, 1890 standalone reprint rather than the brief Apr 12 composite proceedings article.
