Collation history

Proofread against the source text.

Heavyweight pass: this address by Rulon S. Wells did not exist as its own file in the prior ingest. Created 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 90-93 (page/n90, running head 'ELDER RULON S. WELLS.'). Confirmed boundaries: begins immediately after J. Golden Kimball's address in the Third Day Second Overflow Meeting with '(Of the First Council of Seventy.) During the meetings of this conference we have heard a great deal about the organization of the Church...'; ends '...none are saved, only those who shall endure unto the end. And may God help us all to do it, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen.', followed by a male quartet hymn ('I think when I read that sweet story of old') and then Joseph W. McMurrin's address. A stray 'ELDER JOSEPH W. McMURRIN.' running head appears mid-page atop leaf 93 while Wells's own text visibly continues underneath it (a page-proof artifact); the true McMurrin byline follows only after Wells's closing 'Amen.' and the intervening hymn. Continues the Third Day Second Overflow Meeting (no session break).
