Lorenzo Snow · 1895 April General Conference · 1895-04-06
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 13, 1895 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 13 issue) -- flagged honestly rather than left silently wrong.
Proofread against the source text.
Proofread against the full Deseret Weekly, April 13, 1895 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 13, 1895 proceedings account (pp. 513-518) plus 7 standalone full-discourse reprints from later Deseret Weekly issues (May 11/18, June 1/14/29, July 6, Sept 14, 1895), 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). The existing body was a compiler-written bracket summary that in most cases did not match the real source text, and nearly every file was mis-dated to a session where the real record shows the speaker never appeared that day (Joseph F. Smith and George Q. Cannon were both dated to Friday, when neither gives a discourse that day). Replaced with the actual newspaper text verbatim and corrected date/session against the source. A full Sunday-morning Woodruff discourse ('The Power of Evil', Deseret Weekly, Apr 27 1895, pp. 577-579) and several Overflow Meeting speakers (Edward Stevenson, a second Teasdale/Abraham H. Cannon appearance) have no vault file at all -- real coverage gaps noted for a future ingestion pass, not fabricated or forced into an existing file. Also merged several mid-sentence line-break artifacts left by the source HTML (e.g. an italicized 'New York Times' split across lines) back into their sentences. date/session corrected from the fabricated Friday Afternoon to the source-verified Saturday Afternoon; body replaced with the FULL verbatim standalone 'Discourse' reprint (Deseret Weekly, June 1, 1895, pg. 737-738); witness citation corrected.
