Wilford Woodruff · 1896 October General Conference · 1896-10-05
Reported by Arthur Winter for The Deseret Weekly, October 24, 1896, pg. 577-578; speaker did not review. Source verified against BYU ContentDM (desnews5 collection): the October 24, 1896 item tagged "Remarks" (dmrecord 9494) opens "Made at the General Conference on the afternoon of Monday, October 5[th, 1896]... BY ARTHUR WINTER" and its OCR text (the two-powers-of-good-and-evil / Moses Thatcher discourse) matches this file's body word-for-word (allowing for OCR noise); page 577 (the article's start page) is separately present in the same issue.

Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: replaced weebly source_url (banned as canonical) with the verified BYU ContentDM (desnews5) item for this article -- confirmed via the ContentDM dmwebservices API (dmGetItemInfo) that dmrecord 9494's OCR opens with the exact talk header ("Made at the General Conference on the afternoon of Monday, October 5th... by Arthur Winter") and its extracted text is the two-powers/Moses Thatcher discourse matching the vault body; weebly demoted to secondary witness per policy. Page 577 of the October 24, 1896 Deseret Weekly issue is separately present in the same BYU collection. No boundary bleed found against the full conference proceedings context (Monday afternoon session, follows the hymn/prayer, precedes Lorenzo Snow's afternoon remarks on the same subject).
