Session notes: closing anthem, benediction, adjournment, and colophon

Conference record · 1913 April General Conference · 1913-04-06

Fidelity

○Fragmentary

Session record: the closing anthem, benediction by Elder James W. Paxman, adjournment of the conference for six months, and the Conference Report's colophon (choir/organist credits and stenographers who took the discourses). This is the final entry of the entire April 1913 Conference Report. Reclassified as record_type: conference_record; not an individual sermon.

Witnesses

No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.

Collation history

Proofread against the source text.

Heavyweight pass: the previous draft was a duplicate, garbled fragment of the sustaining-committee list (already correctly captured in 1913-04-56) plus an unrelated BYU-Hawaii library accession stamp and barcode that had bled in from the back cover of the wrong bound IA volume (conferencereport83chur) originally used as source. Replaced with the true closing material from the dedicated April 1913 scan (conferencereport1913a): the closing anthem, Elder Paxman's benediction, the adjournment notice, and the report's colophon.

Collated word-by-word against the original scan.

Heavyweight pass: verified against archive.org/details/conferencereport1913a leaf 125 (page/n125). Confirmed this is the final page of substantive content in the report -- everything after it in the scan is back-of-book advertising for other Deseret News titles, not conference material. Confirmed the 'James W. Paxman' name in the file id refers only to who gave the benediction here, correctly reclassified as record_type: conference_record rather than an individual discourse.
