Collation history

Proofread against the source text.

Heavyweight pass: corrected truncated title, trailing periods in speaker name and calling_at_time, and added a missing source_url leaf anchor; removed a mid-sentence running-head bleed and fixed OCR letter errors.

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) and added the missing source_url leaf anchor (n76; the file previously had no page fragment). Fixed the truncated title and stray trailing periods on the speaker name and calling_at_time. Removed a mid-sentence running-head bleed ('ELDER CHARLES A. CALLIS.' interrupting a quotation of the parable of the rich young man). Fixed about ten OCR letter/spacing errors (Latterday -> Latter-day, out lives -> our lives, oui -> our, out salvation -> our salvation, 01 -> or, Latter-daySaints -> Latter-day Saints, its'truth -> its truth, and a stray bullet before a quotation mark). Confirmed boundaries clean: begins with Tolton'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.
