Proofread against the source text.
Proofread against the full Deseret Weekly proceedings text for this conference (Apr 9, 1892 issue); 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 9, 1892 proceedings account (pp. 503-517) plus 2 standalone full-discourse reprints from later Deseret Weekly issues (Apr 30, May 7, 1892), directly (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). This is the Salt Lake Temple capstone-laying conference (Sun Apr 3 - Wed Apr 6); nearly every body was a compiler-written bracket summary that did not match the real source text, and most were mis-dated to sessions where the real record shows the speaker never appeared that day. Replaced with the actual newspaper text verbatim and corrected date/session against the source. Confirmed George Teasdale does not appear on the conference's own roll of general authorities present (same as the following October 1892 conference) -- his separate file (1892-04-teasdale-remarks.md) is fabricated and left blocked rather than rewritten. no metadata fix needed; body replaced with the real verbatim text.
