Hyrum M. Smith · 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 ('Honor to parentage a general characteristic of faithful Saints...') 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 Hyrum M. Smith (Apostle) did not exist as its own file in the prior ingest. Note this is a distinct person from Patriarch Hyrum G. Smith (see talk_order 53, already heavyweight-reviewed). 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 114-119 (page/n114, running head 'ELDER HYRTJM M. SMITH.' / 'ELDER HYRUM M. SMITH.', OCR variants of the same byline). Confirmed boundaries: begins immediately after Heber J. Grant's address with the printed synopsis 'Honor to parentage a general characteristic of faithful Saints.—Marriage advocated as a moral safeguard.—Righteous life an important qualification for Marriage.—Trouble and sorrow lessened, happiness increased, where true love prevails.—Immorality of divorce.—Unfortunate results of Marriage outside the Covenant.' then 'I believe that all who have been fortunate enough to be in attendance upon this conference have rejoiced in the spirit of it...'; ends '...I ask this blessing for the Latter-day Saints, each and every one of us, in the name of Jesus. Amen.', immediately before President Joseph F. Smith's supplementary remarks on the same subject (folded into the following session-record/talk material rather than into this file, since it is a distinct short interjection, not Smith's prepared conference address).
