Hyrum M. Smith · 1908 October General Conference · 1908-10-05
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), printed pp.79-81 (leaves n80-n82). RECOVERED 2026-07-24 by the fix-packet: this talk had no file of its own -- it had bled into 1908-10-smoot-family-prayer after Reed Smoot's Amen (cr-1908 acceptance-evidence §5C). Extracted verbatim from that file's text (itself OCR-corrected and light-reviewed) with the running head, page number, and editorial synopsis stripped and a set of unambiguous residual OCR garbles corrected (see final_review_notes). NOT yet a full line-by-line page-image collation -- see final_review_blocker. Grade reflects the officially published Conference Report.
No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Ingested; not yet independently reviewed.
