Lorenzo Snow · 1896 October General Conference · 1896-10-05
Reported by Arthur Winter for The Deseret Weekly, October 24, 1896, pg. 578-579; speaker did not review. Source location verified against BYU ContentDM (desnews5 collection): the October 24, 1896 Deseret Weekly issue is confirmed present with individually browsable page-579 scan (dmrecord 9463). This talk was not separately tagged as its own article in ContentDM's article-level index (only Woodruff's preceding "Remarks" on the same page range was), so the page-level scan image itself was not OCR-cross-checked in this session (ContentDM page objects carry no extracted text via the API used); body was collated against the historicalgeneralconferences.weebly.com transcription instead.

Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: replaced weebly source_url (banned as canonical) with a verified BYU ContentDM (desnews5) page-579 scan item for the October 24, 1896 Deseret Weekly issue -- confirmed present via the ContentDM dmwebservices API, matching this talk's cited page; weebly demoted to secondary witness per policy. This specific talk's text was not separately indexed as its own ContentDM article (unlike the preceding Woodruff "Remarks" on the same page range), and page-level scans carry no extracted OCR via the API available in this session, so body collation relied on the weebly transcription rather than independent OCR cross-check; noted honestly in fidelity_notes. No boundary bleed found against the full conference proceedings context (Monday afternoon session, follows Woodruff's Thatcher remarks, precedes John Henry Smith's remarks on the same subject).
