Rey L. Pratt · 1911 October General Conference · 1911-10-08
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report published by the Deseret News and hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1911sa). 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 date (1911-10-07 -> 1911-10-08) and session (was labeled Second Day Morning Session; this is part of the Third Day Afternoon Outdoor Meeting, immediately after Goddard's talk 35), corrected the placeholder title and trailing period on the speaker name, and restored this talk's true closing paragraphs, which the original ingest had misfiled as a separate fragmentary talk misattributed to "Joseph Eckersley" (talk_order 37).
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: reconstructed reading order from the conferencereport1911sa DjVu XML and confirmed the source_url leaf (n105), which opens directly after Goddard's Amen with 'ELDER REY L. PRATT. (President of the Mexican Mission.)'. Body collated word-for-word against the OCR. Discovered that the original ingest had truncated this talk mid-argument at '...May God grant that we may have the spirit of this work upon us,' when the OCR continues directly onto the next leaf (n108) with 'Particularly I appeal to the young men. Pray for it, my brethren...Amen' before Eckersley's own talk begins -- that continuation had been misfiled as a separate one-paragraph talk under the wrong speaker name (Joseph Eckersley, talk_order 37, in the prior lightweight pass, marked fidelity: fragmentary). Restored it here as Pratt's genuine ending and removed the phantom talk 37. Confirmed boundaries clean: begins with Pratt's own remarks (following Goddard) and ends at his own true Amen, before Eckersley's own byline and talk begin.
