George Teasdale · 1898 October General Conference · 1898-10-07
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report of the Sixty-ninth Semi-Annual Conference (October 1898), scanned and hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1898sa). 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.
Proofread against the official/CHL/JSP source plus scan/OCR witness; restored the truncated subhead and fixed dense OCR typos throughout.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: source URL verified (archive.org conferencereport1898sa, IA djvu OCR, pages ~39-42). Boundaries confirmed clean (Amen+header+subhead on both ends). Restored the topic subhead, which had been truncated to only its last clause ('Saints must be just—Confidence in the President') by the prior ingestion; full subhead is 'Promises of God—Restoration of the Priesthood—Saints a pure people—Consistency of prayer—Saints must be just—Confidence in the President'. The Doctrine and Covenants section 27 quotation was collated verse-by-verse against the OCR and found accurate. Fixed a large number of scattered OCR typos throughout the body. No missing text found.
