John W. Taylor · 1900 April General Conference · 1900-04-07
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. 'bee"h'->'been', stray running-head bleed, 'mv'->'my').
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: source verified against archive.org conferencereport1900a leaf 24 (page/n25 already recorded). Synopsis 'The gifts of God of great worth -- Salvation comes through obedience -- How a testimony of the truth can be obtained' confirms title/topic and speaker (Elder John W. Taylor, Council of the Twelve, Second Day Morning Session). Talk runs leaf 24-28, opens directly after Elder Heber J. Grant's close and ends 'God bless you. Amen.' immediately before Elder Marriner W. Merrill's talk begins; no session business or adjacent-speaker bleed. Body content, including the extended Moroni testimony quotation, verified word-for-word against the IA djvu OCR reading order; fixed residual OCR typos throughout.
