Filled directly from the scan/OCR witness as part of a heavyweight pass; no separate lightweight pass preceded it.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: this file did not previously exist under a correct speaker/title. The talk was found misattributed in its entirety to Hyrum M. Smith under the title 'Sunday School Work and Home Training' (1903-10-smith-sunday-school-work-and-home-training.md), which also incorrectly bundled in the unrelated close of a Joseph F. Smith closing-session discourse (now restored to 1903-10-smith-priesthood-and-material-affairs.md) and pure session-transition/roster material (sustaining of Sunday School Union officers, hymns, roll call -- omitted here as non-talk content). The real speaker, confirmed by the byline 'SECOND ASSISTANT GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT JOSEPH M. TANNER said:' in the scan, is Joseph M. Tanner. Transcribed verbatim against the djvu OCR of conferencereport1903sa; page anchor approximated from the surrounding roster material's confirmed page (n90) since the exact byline could not be isolated via search-inside. Boundaries confirmed clean: ends at 'Amen'.
