George Q. Cannon · 1894 April General Conference · 1894-04-08
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 April 14, 1894 composite 'Annual 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 April 14 issue) -- flagged honestly rather than left silently wrong.
Proofread against the source text.
Proofread against the full Deseret Weekly, April 14, 1894 proceedings text (plus standalone discourse 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 14, 1894 proceedings account (pp. 509-514) plus 12 standalone full-discourse reprints from later Deseret Weekly issues (Apr 21 x2, May 5/12/19/26, June 2/9/16/23/30, July 7, 1894), 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). Nearly every body was a compiler-written bracket summary that did not match the real source text, and several files were mis-dated to sessions where the real record shows the speaker never appeared that day (Joseph F. Smith and George Q. Cannon’s standalone 1894-04-cannon-remarks.md were both dated to Friday, when neither speaks that day). Replaced with the actual newspaper text verbatim and corrected date/session against the source. date/session corrected from the fabricated Friday Morning (where this speaker does not appear at all) to the source-verified Sunday Morning; body replaced with the FULL verbatim standalone 'The Law of Adoption' reprint (Deseret Weekly, April 21, 1894, pg. 544-545) -- Cannon's own portion, immediately following Woodruff's in the same Deseret Weekly issue but separately bylined and reprinted; witness citation corrected.
