Heavyweight pass: this is a genuine Third Day Morning Session discourse by Elder Abraham Owen Woodruff (printed subject list: 'The young who have experience should take an interest in wilful backsliders -- Force of example -- Potency of prayer -- Truth in God') that was never ingested into the vault at all -- distinct from his other, already-captured Second Day Afternoon acceptance address (1897-10-woodruff-address-to-saints.md), which is a different talk given the previous day. Recovered the full text from the IA djvu OCR (conferencereport1897sa), confirmed via speaker-header sequence between Cowley's talk and McAllister's talk. talk_order set to 6 within Third Day Morning Session (Fjelsted 1, Roberts 2, Reynolds 3, Kimball 4, Cowley 5, this talk 6, McAllister 7 -- see conference notes). Fixed OCR errors (Pall->fail, Bord->Lord, stray running-head/page-number fragments removed). 0 QC ERRORs.
