Joseph F. Smith · 1912 October General Conference · 1912-10-04
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report published by the Deseret News and hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1912sa). Running heads, page numbers, and line-break hyphenation removed.
No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Light review: in-context proofread, synopsis/session-artifact cleanup, and spacing fixes. NOT a full page-by-page scan collation.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: verified against IA scan/OCR (conferencereport1912sa leaves 2-3). Replaced the garbled truncated-synopsis title with the actual printed heading 'OPENING ADDRESS.' (title_supplied: false); the printed subject-synopsis block under that heading was already correctly excluded from the body. Removed trailing period from speaker; corrected calling_at_time from generic 'General Authority' to 'President of the Church'. Confirmed opening and closing 'Amen' intact; added page-anchored source_url. 0 QC ERRORs.
This is a living critical edition. If you find a transcription, metadata, or sourcing error in this talk, report it to the editors →Reports are collated against the page scan and land as corrections in the vault.
