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. 'imposible'->'impossible', 'dope'->'done', 'br man'->'by man', 'grieVcus'->'grievous').
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: source verified against archive.org conferencereport1900a leaf 35/36 (page/n37 already recorded). Synopsis 'Room for improvement among the Priesthood -- The great distinction between the true Church and other religious bodies -- A difference in spirit -- Every part of the body necessary to its healthful existence -- Warning against a hideous evil' confirms title/topic and speaker (Elder Abraham O. Woodruff, Council of the Twelve, Second Day Afternoon Session). Boundary confirmed clean: opens directly after Elder Matthias F. Cowley's close ('God bless you, in the name of Jesus. Amen.') and closes '...I ask it through Christ, our Redeemer. Amen.' immediately before President Joseph F. Smith's talk begins. No adjacent-speaker or session-business bleed. Body content, including the 1 Corinthians 12 and Ezekiel 3 quotations, verified word-for-word against the IA djvu OCR reading order; fixed residual OCR typos throughout.
