Heavyweight pass: authoritative IA Conference Report source verified (conferencereport1908a); page-by-page collation against the scan/OCR witness (djvu lines 3548-3731) confirmed speaker (Hyrum M. Smith), supplied title, exact date, session, and talk order (immediately follows Rudger Clawson, precedes George Albert Smith). Restored dropped text "From the terday morning" -> "From the testimony of President Smith yesterday morning" (djvu lines 3584-3586). Corrected OCR misreads verbatim against the witness: "constituted; authorities of His Church" -> "constituted authorities of His Church"; "He tjhat keepeth" -> "He that keepeth"; "light is shining-, in all the world" -> "light is shining, in all the world" (line-break hyphenation artifact). Cross-checked Matthew 4:4 and D&C 93:26-28 quotations against canonical text; "even of all the truth" (D&C 93:26 canonical reads "even of all truth") is identical in the OCR witness and left as printed per the restraint principle (period delivery variance, not an OCR error). No other OCR errors found; no leaked page-header/running-head noise in the body.
