George F. Richards · 1913 April General Conference · 1913-04-06
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report published by the Deseret News and hosted at the Internet Archive, dedicated April 1913 scan (conferencereport1913a, file prefix conferencereport831chur). Running heads, page numbers, and line-break hyphenation removed. The printed synopsis line ('Obedience a heavenly and eternal principle...') is reproduced as the supplied title basis rather than in the body.
No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Heavyweight pass: this address by George F. Richards (as presiding elder of the Third Day Overflow Meeting) did not exist as its own file at this position in the prior ingest; the existing talk_order 42 file ('The Thirty-first ward choir ren...') is unrelated wrong-sourced October 1912 contamination and will be handled when that position in true reading order is reached. Created this file with the true text from the dedicated conferencereport1913a scan via XY-cut reading-order extraction. De-hyphenated and reflowed.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: verified against archive.org/details/conferencereport1913a leaves 81-84 (page/n81, running head 'ELDER GEORGE F. RICHARDS.'). Confirmed boundaries: begins immediately after Andrew Jenson's address with the printed synopsis 'Obedience a heavenly and eternal principle.—Essentials to salvation.—The Redeemer a perfect exemplar of obedience.—Duties to be learned, and diligently fulfilled.' then 'My brethren and sisters, I suppose this congregation is made up in large proportions of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints...'; ends '...I pray, in the name of Jesus. Amen.', followed by the choir hymn 'Here, by Babylon's way' and benediction by Elder John N. Pike, closing the (First) Overflow Meeting. This is the last address of the Third Day Morning Overflow Meeting; the Second Overflow Meeting (2 p.m., presided over by Elder Joseph F. Smith Jr.) follows as a new session with J. Golden Kimball's address.
