Jonathan G. Kimball · 1898 April General Conference · 1898-04-08
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: this file was truncated mid-sentence, cut off by a mid-body running-head bleed ('PRESIDEN T JOSEPH F. SMITH'). Recovered the missing closing sentences from the IA djvu OCR (conferencereport1898a) through the genuine 'Amen'. Confirmed talk boundaries otherwise correct (date/session/talk_order); immediately precedes 1898-04-smith-priesthood-and-obedience.md. 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.
