Orson F. Whitney · 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.
No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Heavyweight pass: the previous file at this slot ('1913-04-55-of-the-church-remarks-55') had this text misattributed with a placeholder speaker/title after severe two-column OCR interleaving. Manually de-interleaved from the DjVu text (confirmed by running heads) and correctly attributed to Elder Orson F. Whitney. The following 'Authorities Sustained' list and closing session material (which had also bled into the old file) is now split out separately.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: verified against archive.org/details/conferencereport1913a leaves 122-124 (page/n122, running head 'ELDER ORSON F. WHITNEY'). Confirmed boundaries: begins immediately after Brigham H. Roberts's address with 'What "Mormonism" Stands For...' and ends '...I ask it in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.', immediately before the closing 'AUTHORITIES SUSTAINED' session record (now handled separately). De-hyphenated, reflowed, and cleaned OCR errors (e.g. 'Comprhended' to 'Comprehended', 'Hoarce Greeley' to 'Horace Greeley'). Correction (continued re-ingest pass): date/session were mislabeled 1913-04-05/Second Day Afternoon Session; independently re-tracing the full true reading order confirms this leaf falls in the Third Day (Sunday, April 6) Closing Session. Corrected accordingly; no body text changed.
