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 Eckersley's talk 38), corrected the placeholder title and trailing period on the speaker name, and added the source_url page anchor.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: reconstructed reading order from the conferencereport1911sa DjVu XML and confirmed the source_url leaf (n112), which opens directly after Eckersley's violin-solo announcement with 'ELDER JOSEPH R. SHEPHERD. (President of Bear Lake Stake.)'. Body collated word-for-word against the OCR; removed a mid-body 'ELDER MOSES W. TAYLOR.' running-head bleed before '...discouraging it is if our young men...'. Confirmed boundaries clean: begins with Shepherd's own remarks and ends at his own Amen, before Taylor's talk begins.
