George Q. Cannon · 1894 October General Conference · 1894-10-07
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 Oct 13, 1894 composite 'General Semi-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 Oct 13 issue) -- flagged honestly rather than left silently wrong.
Proofread against the source text.
Proofread against the full Deseret Weekly, October 13, 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, October 13, 1894 proceedings account (pp. 521-533) plus 8 standalone full-discourse reprints from later Deseret Weekly issues (Oct 20, Nov 3/10/23, Dec 1/8/22/29, 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). Dates/sessions on this batch were mostly already correct (unlike 1895/1896), but every body was still a compiler-written bracket summary that did not match the real source text. Replaced with the actual newspaper text verbatim (full reprints where available, real brief summaries otherwise) and corrected the one date/session error found (Richards). Several second appearances by the same speakers at the Sunday-afternoon Overflow Meeting (Assembly Hall) -- and a full Brigham Young 'Word of Wisdom' reprint and John Henry Smith 'The Duty of Prayer' reprint from Friday, neither of which has ANY vault file -- are real coverage gaps noted for a future ingestion pass, not fabricated or forced into an existing file. date/session already correct. Body replaced with the FULL verbatim standalone 'Discourse' reprint (Deseret Weekly, Dec 1, 1894, pg. 737-740); witness citation corrected.
