Collation history

Proofread against the source text.

Heavyweight pass: corrected a garbled speaker surname (also fixed in the id/filename), truncated title, and calling_at_time; anchored source_url leaf, 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 (n122; the file previously had no page fragment). Renamed the file and corrected the speaker's surname from a garbled OCR rendering ('M'Mubrin' -> 'McMurrin', confirmed against the in-text header 'ELDER JOSEPH W. McMURRIN.'). Rewrote the truncated title and fixed the malformed calling_at_time (missing 'the', stray trailing period). Removed a mid-sentence running-head bleed ('ELDER JOSEPH W. McMURRIN.' interrupting a sentence about missionary instructions). Fixed several OCR letter errors (inrtructions -> instructions [x2], vears -> years, mvself -> myself, peoople -> people). Confirmed boundaries clean: begins with McMurrin's own remarks, ends at his own Amen.
