◕Authoritative print

Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report of the Seventy-Eighth Semi-Annual Conference (October 1907), hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1907sa). 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.

Heavyweight pass: split a separate Joseph W. McMurrin address out of the end of this file (see heavyweight_review_notes); corrected fidelity_notes conference ordinal; extensive OCR letter-error cleanup.

Collated word-by-word against the original scan.

Heavyweight pass: reconstructed true reading order from the conferencereport1907sa DjVu XML word coordinates (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py). Corrected fidelity_notes conference ordinal (Seventy-Seventh -> Seventy-Eighth). Fixed roughly 20 OCR letter errors and stray punctuation throughout (comj ing -> coming, hisstory -> history, accummulation -> accumulation, or or -> or, todry/CTurch -> today/Church, ouorum -> quorum, remnantsold -> remnants -- old, interesting- -> interesting, .he -> he, a trailing question mark corrected to a period, doubled quote marks fixed, and other stray marks). Split out a separate address by Joseph W. McMurrin that had been wrongly appended to the end of this file (running head 'EIDER JOSEPH W. M'MURRDT.', OCR misread of 'ELDER...McMURRIN') into new file 1907-10-mcmurrin-testimony-of-revelation.md -- talk_order 20 (shared with this file, since they occur back-to-back in the same session; a full renumbering of the rest of the day was judged out of scope for this pass). Confirmed the III Nephi 23 quotation is transcribed accurately. Confirmed boundaries clean: begins with Jenson own remarks, ends at his Amen with no trailing bleed. source_url already correctly anchored to leaf 92.
