Joseph F. Smith · 1909 October General Conference · 1909-10-06
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report of the Eightieth Semi-Annual Conference (October 1909), hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1909sa). 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.

Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: proofread against the conferencereport1909sa DjVu XML reading-order reconstruction. Corrected the date field from 1909-10-05 to 1909-10-06 (systematic Third Day date error present across this session's files). Fixed several OCR letter/spacing errors in the Kirtland dedicatory prayer quotation and Smith's own remarks (im-t mediate -> immediate, andmeek -> and meek, shineforth -> shine forth, righteousnes -> righteousness, Chiist -> Christ, founda tions -> foundations, will* -> will, fcr -> for). 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 October General Conference.
