Heavyweight pass: verified against archive.org/details/conferencereport1912a (internal scan conferencereport821chur), leaves 131-136 (page/n131, running head 'PRESIDENT JOSEPH F. SMITH.'). Confirmed boundaries: this is the conference's Closing Remarks, begins immediately after Elder Brigham G. Thacher's address, with 'I say, in all candor, that I am sorry we can not have another day or two in which to continue our Conference...'; teaches on the literal resurrection, eternal marriage, and baptism for the dead, and closes with a blessing upon the Latter-day Saints; ends '...where they may enter and administer for the salvation and exaltation of their kindred who have died without the knowledge of the Gospel. This is my prayer in the name of Jesus. Amen.', immediately before President Smith read the Auditors' Report (a financial record, out of scope for this talk file) closing the conference. De-hyphenated, reflowed, corrected scattered OCR errors, and removed the printed synopsis block per docs/review.md. This is the final talk of the 1912 April General Conference; with this file, the conference's re-ingest and heavyweight review against the correct source (conferencereport1912a) is complete.
