George Teasdale · 1896 October General Conference · 1896-10-05
Reported by Arthur Winter for The Deseret Weekly, October 24, 1896, pg. 581-582; 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-581/582 scans (dmrecord 9465/9466). This talk was not separately tagged as its own article in ContentDM's article-level index, so the page-level scan images themselves were 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.

Proofread body text against the historicalgeneralconferences.weebly.com transcription witness and the full conference proceedings context; no OCR errors or boundary bleed found.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: replaced weebly source_url (banned as canonical) with a verified BYU ContentDM (desnews5) page-581 scan item for the October 24, 1896 Deseret Weekly issue -- confirmed present via the ContentDM dmwebservices API, matching this talk's cited page range; weebly demoted to secondary witness per policy. This specific talk's text was not separately indexed as its own ContentDM article, 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 Heber J. Grant's remarks, precedes Joseph F. Smith's closing remarks on the same subject).
