Heavyweight pass: verified against archive.org/details/conferencereport1912a (internal scan conferencereport821chur), leaves 109-113 (page/n109, running head 'ELDER JOSEPH ECKERSLEY.'). Confirmed boundaries: begins immediately after Elder Benjamin Goddard's address, with '(President of Wayne Stake.) In the summer of 1890 a young missionary in England was about to emigrate to this country...', explicitly referencing 'Brother Goddard' and his preceding story; argues that honoring Joseph Smith is not 'hero worship'; ends with a closing hymn quotation, 'Hail, Savior, Prince of Peace...', followed by a solo ('High on the Mountain Tops,' August Glissmeyer) and then Elder Sylvester Q. Cannon's address. A stray single-character noise fragment ('J') mid-body was excluded as scan speckle. De-hyphenated, reflowed, corrected scattered OCR errors, and removed the printed synopsis block per docs/review.md.
