Francis M. Lyman · 1913 October General Conference · 1913-10-05
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 an arbitrary split and misattribution: this single continuous talk by Francis M. Lyman had been divided into two files, with the second half misfiled under a garbled OCR-mojibake id/title/speaker ("Should Be Sober Paul Says" / "-I- - -S-A-Y- - -E-V-E-R-Y-...", formerly 1913-10-11), now merged into this file. Corrected session/date from "First Day Morning Session"/1913-10-04 to "Second Day Morning Session"/1913-10-05 (the source's own "SECOND DAY" session header and the conference-record material at 1913-10-conference-record-session-notes-09 place this talk on the morning of October 5). Corrected calling_at_time to reflect Lyman's position as President of the Quorum of the Twelve. Removed running heads (including a mid-body running-head bleed, "...in addi-PRESIDENT FRANCIS M. LYMAN.-tion to these injunctions..."), removed the trailing musical-number line ("'The Pioneer,' a soprano solo..."), de-hyphenated, reflowed paragraphs, fixed OCR errors ("anyofficial"->"any official", "clay"->"day", "oportunity"->"opportunity", "emplojyed"->"employed", "imediately"->"immediately", "accomodate"->"accommodate", "bod}'"->"body").
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: verified against archive.org/details/conferencereport1913sa leaves 34-41 (page/n34 through page/n40), page-by-page collation against the scan/OCR witness under the "PRESIDENT FRANCIS M. LYMAN." running head, which recurs unbroken across the whole span (previously split into two files at an arbitrary page boundary). Confirmed boundary: follows the Second Day session-opening material (announcement, hymns, prayer by Elder James Duckworth — see 1913-10-conference-record-session-notes-09) and closes with "...I pray, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen." immediately before the musical number "The Pioneer" sung by Sister Edna Anderson, which is session material, not part of this talk, and has been excluded from the body.
