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.
No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Heavyweight pass: removed printed synopsis line; 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). Removed the printed synopsis line and confirmed the small session-opening record (hymns, prayer) is genuine and kept inline. Corrected fidelity_notes conference ordinal (Seventy-Seventh -> Seventy-Eighth). Fixed roughly 15 OCR letter errors and stray punctuation (Bis -> His, a bell-character glyph -> we, receiving- -> receiving, con' nection -> connection, training- -> training, labo'r/thev -> labor/they, becomingcompetent -> becoming competent, cerved -> served, a stray asterisk removed, hearts' -> hearts, people/a -> people, a, in the. -> in the, .enjoy -> enjoy, grate ful -> grateful, the' -> the). Confirmed boundaries clean: begins with the session opening, ends at Lyman own Amen with no trailing bleed. source_url already correctly anchored to leaf 14.
