Heavyweight pass: verified against archive.org/details/conferencereport1912a (internal scan conferencereport821chur), leaves 59-60 (page/n59). Confirmed boundaries: Elder B. H. Roberts's spoken introduction to the anthem 'The Lord Hath Brought Again Zion' (composed by Arthur Shepherd, text from D&C 84:99-102) -- a musical announcement, not a discourse, hence record_type: conference_record rather than a Roberts address -- followed by President Joseph F. Smith's thanks to the B.Y.U. choir, benediction by Elder Joseph R. Shepherd, and adjournment, closing the Second Day; then the Third Day (Easter Sunday, April 7, 1912) opens with the stand decorated in white bunting and Easter lilies, an overflow meeting announced for the Assembly Hall, an anthem, prayer by Elder Wm. H. Smart, and the Easter anthem 'Christ Is Risen' by Evan Stephens, immediately before Elder Anthony W. Ivins's address.
