Rudger Clawson · 1903 October General Conference · 1903-10-05
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report of the Seventy-fourth Semi-Annual Conference (October 4-6, 1903), hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1903sa). OCR was reconstructed from the Internet Archive XML with the repository reading-order helper and cleaned by script (running heads and line-break hyphenation removed, paragraphing restored, and obvious OCR artifacts corrected). Not yet proofread line-by-line against the page images; a final scan check is still needed. Grade reflects the officially published Conference Report. Title is supplied.
No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Light review: in-context proofread, encoding-artifact cleanup, 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 conferencereport1903sa; set source_url page anchor via IA search-inside. Removed a stray leading fragment that did not belong to this talk -- it was actually the missing close of Elder Matthias F. Cowley's preceding discourse, now restored to 1903-10-cowley-responsibility-and-the-united-order.md -- along with the garbled topic-header line that had bled in between the two. This file now correctly opens at Clawson's own real byline/opening. Content matches the OCR witness verbatim through 'Amen'.
This is a living critical edition. If you find a transcription, metadata, or sourcing error in this talk, report it to the editors →Reports are collated against the page scan and land as corrections in the vault.
