No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Heavyweight pass: corrected the placeholder title, trailing period on speaker name, and the duplicated calling parenthetical that had been left in the body; removed a running-head bleed.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: reconstructed reading order from the conferencereport1911sa DjVu XML and confirmed the source_url leaf (n78). Body collated word-for-word against the OCR; removed the duplicated '(President of Northwestern States Mission.,)' parenthetical from the body opening (redundant with calling_at_time) and a mid-body 'ELDER ANDREW KIMBALL.' running-head bleed before 'which final ownership may be secured...'. Confirmed boundaries clean: begins with Ballard's own remarks (following Ellsworth) and ends at his own Amen.
