Anthony W. Ivins · 1908 April General Conference · 1908-04-06
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report of the Seventy-Eighth Annual Conference (April 1908), hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1908a). 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.
Light review: in-context proofread, synopsis/session-artifact cleanup, and spacing fixes. NOT a full page-by-page scan collation.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: removed a large block of leaked material from the start (a stray benediction credit from the prior day, the Third Day session-opening record with 2 hymns and a prayer credit, and a leaked printed-subject-list line), all wrongly prepended before the real talk (which begins 'I sincerely desire, my brethren and sisters...'). Removed a leaked trailing choir-solo credit from the end, after the genuine closing 'Amen'. Confirmed against the IA djvu OCR (conferencereport1908a). 0 QC ERRORs.
