Joseph W. McMurrin · 1913 October General Conference · 1913-10-04
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report published by the Deseret News and hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1913sa). Running heads, page numbers, and line-break hyphenation removed.
No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Heavyweight pass fixed the speaker's name, badly OCR-garbled as "Joseph W. M'Mttrein" in the previous draft; the running head reads "ELDER JOSEPH W. McMURRIN." (also OCR'd once as "JOSEPH IV. McMURRIN" with the initial letter misread). Corrected id/speaker/speaker_id. Also corrected session from "First Day Morning Session" to "First Day Afternoon Session" (this talk follows Brigham H. Roberts's afternoon-session talk). Removed a mid-body running-head bleed ("...know the chil-ELDER JOSEPH W. McMURRIN.-dren have discovered..."), de-hyphenated, reflowed paragraphs, fixed minor OCR errors.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: verified against archive.org/details/conferencereport1913sa leaves 30-33 (page/n29 through page/n32), page-by-page collation against the scan/OCR witness. Confirmed boundary: follows immediately after Brigham H. Roberts's talk (see 1913-10-06) and closes with "...through Jesus Christ. Amen." before the Second Day session-record material (see 1913-10-conference-record-session-notes-09).
