Francis M. Lyman · 1900 April General Conference · 1900-04-06
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. 'mav'->'may', 'para, ble'->'parable', 'currupt'->'corrupt', 'tithepayers'->'tithe-payers').
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: source verified against archive.org conferencereport1900a leaf 7 (page/n8 already recorded). Speaker heading 'ELDER F. M. LYMAN' with synopsis 'The Spirit of God the source of Union -- Why the Saints are a peculiar people -- The coming of Christ and Redemption of Zion -- Necessity for preparation' confirms title/topic and speaker (Francis M. Lyman, Council of the Twelve, First Day Morning Session). Talk runs leaf 7-10, opens directly after Elder Brigham Young Jr.'s close and ends '...is my prayer through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.' immediately before the choir/benediction and afternoon session header (non-talk material correctly excluded). No adjacent-speaker or session-business bleed. Body content verified word-for-word against the IA djvu OCR reading order; fixed residual OCR typos throughout.
