Proofread against the source text.
Proofread against the full Deseret Weekly proceedings text for this conference (Apr 8 and Apr 15, 1893 issues); 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 proceedings for this conference (Apr 8, 1893 issue, pp. 493-498, and Apr 15, 1893 issue, pp. 513-516), directly. This is the Salt Lake Temple dedication conference: the regular business session ran only Tuesday Apr 4 - Wednesday Apr 5 (Woodruff cut it short Wednesday afternoon so the congregation could prepare for the dedication), with Thursday Apr 6 onward being the separate 31-session Temple dedication itself. The existing body was a compiler-written bracket summary that did not match the real source text. Replaced with the actual newspaper text verbatim. Confirmed Heber J. Grant was recorded absent (detained in the East) for this entire conference -- his separate file (1893-04-grant-remarks.md) is fabricated and left blocked rather than rewritten. no metadata fix needed; body replaced with real text -- note the source itself states this is 'not a synopsis... but merely embodies a few allusions to some of its leading features' (i.e. an honest partial summary in the original reporting, not a full verbatim discourse).
