Grade reflects the officially published Conference Report.
No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Heavyweight pass: minor OCR fix.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: proofread against the conferencereport1909a DjVu XML reading-order reconstruction. Fixed one stray comma (shall, be -> shall be). Confirmed boundaries clean: begins with Smith's own closing remarks, ends with the genuine conference-adjournment record, credits, and publisher's back-matter notice for the History of the Church, all kept as part of the session/volume record. This is the final talk of 1909 April General Conference (32/32 heavyweight-reviewed).
