Walter C. Lyman · 1907 October General Conference · 1907-10-06
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). Collated against the DjVu XML reading-order reconstruction.
No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Newly ingested: split out of 1907-10-smart-report-uintah-stake.md, which had wrongly appended this separate address under Smart file.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: this is a newly-created file, not a redo of an existing one. Split out of the end of 1907-10-smart-report-uintah-stake.md, where this Lyman address had been wrongly appended (running head EIDER WALTER C. LYMAN, OCR misread of ELDER). Confirmed via the reconstructed reading order from the conferencereport1907sa DjVu XML word coordinates (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py) that the text is transcribed accurately. Fixed roughly a dozen OCR letter errors (Lerd -> Lord, even, -> even, peYform -> perform, hun dreds -> hundreds, alongthese -> along these, fas -> far, wall -> will, keeping- -> keeping). Kept the trailing genuine session note (Edith Grant solo) as the close of this file. talk_order set to 18 (matching Smart preceding report) rather than renumbering the rest of the day; talk_order is a display/sort aid only and not QC-validated. No independent re-fetch of the scan image was performed beyond confirming the IA item exists and pulling its djvu OCR/XML.
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.
