Heavyweight pass: verified against archive.org/details/conferencereport1912a (internal scan conferencereport821chur), leaves 108-109 (page/n108, running head 'ELDER BENJAMIN GODDARD.', OCR variant 'GODDAED'). Confirmed boundaries: this is the Outdoor Meeting on the Temple grounds, begins immediately after the opening hymn and prayer by Elder Alonzo P. Kesler, with '(Supt. Bureau of Information.) Dear brethren and sisters, we are glad to have so many in attendance...'; tells a missionary story of a young English couple who later heard and joined the Church in New Zealand twenty years after a chance street-corner sermon; ends '...I pray that the Lord will bless us in this gathering, in the name of Jesus, Amen.', immediately before Elder Joseph Eckersley's address. De-hyphenated, reflowed, corrected scattered OCR errors, and removed the printed synopsis block per docs/review.md.
