George F. Richards · 1911 April General Conference · 1911-04-07
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report published by the Deseret News and hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1911a). Running heads, page numbers, and line-break hyphenation removed.
No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Heavyweight pass: corrected truncated title, trailing period in speaker name, and generic calling_at_time; anchored source_url leaf; OCR letter errors fixed and a mid-sentence running-head bleed removed.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: reconstructed true reading order from the conferencereport1911a DjVu XML word coordinates (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py) to anchor source_url leaf. Fixed the truncated title, removed a stray trailing period from the speaker name, and set the actual calling_at_time. Removed a mid-sentence running-head bleed ('ELDER ORSON F. WHITNEY.' interrupting 'going out for a carriage ride, or an automobile ride, or perhaps remain at home'). Fixed a couple OCR letter errors (youno- -> young, Latterday -> Latter-day, and some stray quote marks). Confirmed boundaries clean: begins with Richards's own remarks, ends at his own Amen. Also corrected date and session, which had been systematically mislabeled First Day (1911-04-06) across roughly twenty 1911-04 files; the DjVu day headers (FIRST DAY at leaf 1, SECOND DAY at leaf 30, THIRD DAY at leaf 61) were used to reassign the correct day/session per file via its source_url leaf.
