Heavyweight pass: authoritative IA Conference Report source verified (conferencereport1908a); page-by-page collation against the scan/OCR witness (OCR lines 869-986) confirmed boundary — immediately follows Joseph F. Smith's opening address (ends line 868) and immediately precedes Anthon H. Lund's address (actual heading/synopsis/body begin at OCR line 989, after Winder's closing "Amen." at line 986; a same-text running head at line 904 mid-talk is a recurring page header, not Lund's talk start, and was correctly not treated as a boundary). Synopsis line under the heading retained as part of the body per repo convention for short talks. Corrected OCR misreads verbatim against the witness: "mv" -> "my" (acknowledging my gratitude), "sal vation" -> "salvation" (rejoined stray line-break space), "exoress" -> "express", "I am' now" -> "I am now" (stray apostrophe removed). Archaic period spelling "fulfil" preserved as printed, not an OCR error.
