Heavyweight pass: authoritative IA Conference Report source verified (conferencereport1908a); page-by-page collation against the scan/OCR witness confirmed speaker, supplied title, exact date, session, and talk order (immediately follows John Henry Smith, precedes Rudger Clawson's Second Day address). Corrected numerous OCR misreads verbatim against the witness (Sanits->Saints, 1 stand->I stand, evidence to ine->evidence to me, the; people->the people, \vc realize->we realize, AJ1 the money->All the money, stray parenthesis and missing space around "three weeks ago, this man", askes->asks, drink* Now, .->drink." [paragraph break restored per witness], i« .arms->in arms, Zions prospers->Zion prospers [cross-checked against canonical hymn text and the poem's other refrains], belive->believe, before.;->before;, missing period in "law of God. Many", plus minor stray-space-before-punctuation cleanup). Restored a paragraph break the prior light pass had merged ("drink." / "Now, the Lord...") and split one run-on hymn stanza to match the printed line breaks.
