Heber J. Grant · 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 ('Inspiration in the hymns of Zion...') 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 Heber J. Grant did not exist as its own file in the prior ingest (the existing talk_order 50 file with this speaker's name is unrelated wrong-sourced content and will be handled separately when that position in true 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 111-114 (page/n111, running head 'ELDER HEBER J. GRANT.'). Confirmed boundaries: opens the Third Day Closing Session (Tabernacle, 2 p.m., presided over by President Joseph F. Smith, anthems 'Arise, shine for thy light is come' and 'Awake My Soul,' prayer by Elder Serge F. Ballif) with the printed synopsis 'Inspiration in the hymns of Zion.—Respect and friendship of neighbors desirable.—Testimony lost by failure to live Gospel principles.—Children honor parents by being true to the faith.—Godliness and loyalty characteristics of Church leaders.' then 'I rejoice exceedingly in the spirit of the meetings of this conference...'; ends '...God bless all Israel, and help us all to be loyal and true, and to serve Him with full purpose of heart. I ask it in the name of Jesus. Amen.', immediately before Hyrum M. Smith's address. Note: this address is materially shorter than a first pass through the raw OCR suggested; the marriage/parentage material on leaves 115-118 belongs to Hyrum M. Smith's following address, not this one.
