Heber J. Grant · 1908 October General Conference · 1908-10-04
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report of the Seventy-Ninth Semi-Annual Conference (October 1908), hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1908sa). 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. Noah final review: approved 2026-07-20 (QC repairs approved; see per-scope repairs.yaml). QC scan-tiebreak 2026-07-19: 4 sites collated against conferencereport1908sa leaves n63-65; corrections "browGo" -> "brow— Go" (em-dash mid-poem-line), "cense" -> "License" (dropped prefix where two quoted passages were stitched together), "neverdying" -> "never-dying" (hyphenated compound), and restored the dropped phrase "Elder Grant read the following" before "RESOLUTION." All four confirmed against the actual page images. Not a full collation. Noah final review: approved 2026-07-20 (QC repairs approved; see per-scope repairs.yaml).
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: confirmed against the IA djvu OCR (conferencereport1908sa) that the body genuinely ends with the closing 'Amen' followed by a formal temperance resolution Grant himself moved and its unanimous vote -- correctly kept as part of this record, not a leaked bleed. Confirmed date/session/talk_order correct. 0 QC ERRORs. Noah final review: approved 2026-07-20 (QC repairs approved; see per-scope repairs.yaml).
