Joseph E. Robinson · 1902 April General Conference · 1902-04-05
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report of the Seventy-Second Annual Conference (April 4-6, 1902), hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1902a). OCR corrected by hand (running heads and line-break hyphenation removed, paragraphing restored, obvious OCR errors corrected). Not yet proofread line-by-line against page images. Grade reflects the officially published Conference Report.
No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Light review: in-context proofread, synopsis/session-artifact cleanup, and spacing fixes. NOT a full page-by-page scan collation. Noah final review: approved 2026-07-20 (QC repairs approved; see per-scope repairs.yaml). QC scan-tiebreak 2026-07-19: 1 escalated site collated against conferencereport1902a leaf n36 (page 35); vault reading confirmed verbatim against the page image -- witness_wrong (the OCR witness's flat text bled in a running head/adjacent-column fragment, 'GENERAL CONFERENCE 36 the Gospel is true and that it is leavening...', not present at this site on the printed page). No vault edit needed. QC scan-tiebreak 2026-07-19: 1 site collated against conferencereport1902a/n37; restored missing space in 'know that' per the printed page. Not a full collation. Noah final review: approved 2026-07-20 (QC repairs approved; see per-scope repairs.yaml).
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: collated against the djvu OCR of conferencereport1902a (source_url page anchor already present and confirmed via IA search-inside). Content matches the OCR witness verbatim; boundaries clean, closes at 'Amen' before the next speaker. Noah final review: approved 2026-07-20 (QC repairs approved; see per-scope repairs.yaml).
