The Value, Acquirement, and Possession of Truth

Hyrum M. Smith · 1902 April General Conference · 1902-04-04

Fidelity

◕Authoritative print

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.

Witnesses

No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.

Collation history

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.

Collated word-by-word against the original scan.

Heavyweight pass: collated against the djvu OCR of conferencereport1902a; set source_url page anchor via IA search-inside. Removed a block of trailing session material (closing hymn, benediction, and the opening of the next day's session) that had bled in after the real 'Amen' close. Remaining body matches the OCR witness verbatim.

Corrections
