Conference record · 1911 October General Conference · 1911-10-06
Session housekeeping notes (hymn, prayer, or adjournment announcement) misfiled in the original ingest as an individual discourse, and John Henry Smith's talk wrongly appended after it. Reclassified as record_type: conference_record during heavyweight review; no individual sermon content was lost or removed.
No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Heavyweight pass: reclassified as a conference_record (the ingest had misattributed this to 'Joseph E. Robinson,' who is only mentioned as having pronounced the benediction closing the PRIOR talk, 1911-10-04); split off John Henry Smith's talk that had been wrongly appended after this session record into a new file, 1911-10-06-john-henry-smith-remarks-6.md; corrected id/title/speaker and anchored source_url leaf; fixed an OCR letter error.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: reconstructed true reading order from the conferencereport1911sa DjVu XML word coordinates (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py) and corrected the source_url leaf from n18 to the confirmed n17. Discovered this file was misattributed: its id/title/speaker had been auto-generated from 'Elder Joseph E. Robinson,' the name of the elder who pronounced the benediction closing the previous talk (1911-10-04-joseph-e-smith-remarks-4.md) -- that benediction note has been restored there. This file's actual body opens the First Day Afternoon Session (resumed at 2 p.m., called to order by President Smith, hymn, prayer by Melvin J. Ballard, hymn). Split off John Henry Smith's talk, which had been wrongly appended directly after the session-opening hymn with no boundary marker other than the in-source header, into its own file (1911-10-06-john-henry-smith-remarks-6.md), where its two halves (this file's tail and the previously separate 1911-10-06 file) have been merged into one continuous talk. Fixed one OCR letter error ('cleatblue' -> 'clear blue'). Content verified complete against the scan.
