Collation history

Proofread against the source text.

Proofread against the full Deseret Weekly October 11, 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, October 11, 1890 proceedings account (pp. 515-528) plus 4 standalone full-discourse/remarks reprints from later issues (Oct 18, Oct 25, Nov 8, 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; this is the historic Manifesto conference (Official Declaration ending plural marriage, presented and sustained Monday Oct 6). Replaced a fabricated/mismatched compiler summary with President Woodruff's real closing blessing of the Saints at the very end of the conference (Third Day afternoon, Oct 6), beginning 'My Heart is Drawn Out With Love and Gratitude Towards God'; date/session already matched the real source.
