Collation history

Proofread against the source text.

Heavyweight pass: the existing 1913-04-38-melvin-j-ballard-remarks-38.md file's body was wrong-sourced (October 1912 content bled in from the previously-used bound volume). Created this file with the true April 4, 1913 address from the dedicated conferencereport1913a scan, immediately following Charles A. Callis in the First Day Afternoon Session. De-hyphenated and reflowed.

Collated word-by-word against the original scan.

Heavyweight pass: verified against archive.org/details/conferencereport1913a leaves 16-20 (page/n16, running head 'ELDER MELVIN J. BALLARD'). Confirmed boundaries: begins immediately after Callis's address ends ('...the dominating factor in the evangelization of the world... Even so, blessed Lord Jesus, come quickly. Amen.') with '(President Northwestern States Mission.) Perhaps the most important event...' and ends '...men in the earth, is my prayer and desire in the name of Jesus. Amen.', followed by a soprano solo and Joseph E. Robinson's address.
