Rulon S. Wells · 1909 April General Conference · 1909-04-04
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report of the Seventy-Ninth Annual Conference (April 1909), hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1909a). 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.
Heavyweight pass: anchored source_url leaf; OCR letter errors fixed.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: reconstructed true reading order from the conferencereport1909a DjVu XML word coordinates (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py) to anchor source_url leaf and verify boundaries. Fixed about a dozen OCR letter errors (blessinf -> blessing, .offend/it His -> offend/is His, nnto -> unto, cleased -> cleansed, fig-ht -> fight, o£_ -> of, Tf -> If, rightousness -> righteousness). Verified the short informal aside after Wells's formal Amen ('I am; I have said some things...') is genuinely printed in the source immediately before the next speaker header ('ELDER J. GOLDEN KIMBALL.') with no header of its own, so it is correctly retained as part of this file per the vault's boundary convention. Confirmed no other boundary issues.
