Joseph Fielding Smith · 1911 April General Conference · 1911-04-09
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: split off trailing session-record material (Auditors' Report, First Presidency statement, Authorities Sustained) that had been wrongly appended after this talk's own Amen; restored the source's own title; 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 corrected the source_url leaf from an initial guess of n125 to the confirmed n124. Restored the source's own title (title_supplied: false), corrected from a truncated OCR fragment ('modem' -> 'modern'). Split off the trailing Auditors' Report, First Presidency statement, and Authorities Sustained record that had been wrongly appended after this talk's own Amen (that content was also joined with the badly garbled 1911-04-47 file) into a new conference_record file, 1911-04-conference-record-session-notes-47.md. Replaced the generic calling_at_time with Smith's actual calling (Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles). Removed a mid-sentence running-head bleed ('ELDER JOSEPH F. SMITH, JR.' interrupting 'From time to time, some one, filled with hatred of the truth'). Fixed several OCR letter errors (clay -> day, at e -> are, He- -> He, Will -> will, Latterday -> Latter-day). Confirmed boundaries clean: begins with Smith's own remarks (quoting Isaiah 11:11-12), ends at his own Amen.
