George Q. Cannon · 1898 April General Conference · 1898-04-10
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report of the Sixty-eighth Annual Conference (April 1898), scanned by the Church History Library and hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1898a). OCR was cleaned and corrected: running heads, page numbers, and line-break hyphenation removed; obvious OCR errors fixed. Not yet proofread page-by-page against the scan images, so minor residual OCR errors may remain (status: draft, pending review).
No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Light review: in-context proofread, synopsis/session-artifact cleanup, and spacing fixes. NOT a full page-by-page scan collation.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: collated against the IA djvu OCR (conferencereport1898a); confirmed talk boundaries, date/session/talk_order correct, and the closing 'Amen' genuine. Removed a duplicate fragment from the body opening -- the closing prayer/blessing paragraph and printed subject list of the preceding speaker's talk (Franklin D. Richards, 1898-04-richards-prophecy-and-war.md) had been wrongly copied onto the start of this file as well as their own correct place in Richards's file; this file's real content begins 'The remarks which have been made by Brother Franklin D. Richards...', explicitly picking up from his talk. Fixed a stray OCR character ('>f' -> 'of'). 0 QC ERRORs.
This is a living critical edition. If you find a transcription, metadata, or sourcing error in this talk, report it to the editors →Reports are collated against the page scan and land as corrections in the vault.
