Rudger Clawson · 1900 April General Conference · 1900-04-08
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report of the Seventieth Annual Conference (April 1900), scanned and hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1900a). OCR was cleaned and corrected: running heads, page numbers, and line-break hyphenation removed; obvious OCR errors fixed.
No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Proofread against the official/CHL/JSP source plus scan/OCR witness; fixed residual OCR typos (e.g. 'auake'->'quake', 'acauainted'->'acquainted', 'Ave hundred'->'five hundred'), confirmed against the IA page image.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: source verified against archive.org conferencereport1900a leaf 42 (page/n43 already recorded), confirmed via IIIF page images (leaves 44-46). Synopsis 'A striking evidence of God's goodness -- Tithing and consecration -- Importance of Church records' confirms title/topic and speaker (Elder Rudger Clawson, Council of the Twelve, Third Day Morning Session). Talk runs leaf 42-46, opens directly after the Third Day opening hymns/prayer and closes '...which is my prayer in the name of Jesus. Amen.' immediately before President Joseph F. Smith's tithing talk begins; no session business or adjacent-speaker bleed. Body content, including the D&C 85 quotation, verified word-for-word against both the IA djvu OCR reading order and page images; fixed residual OCR typos throughout.
