Heavyweight pass fixed an arbitrary split and the session label: this single continuous talk by Rey L. Pratt had been divided into two files (the second half formerly at 1913-10-16, now merged into this file — there is no re-introduction or new byline at the split point, and the running head "ELDER REY L. PRATT." recurs unbroken). Corrected session from "First Day Morning Session" to "Second Day Morning Session (Overflow Meeting)": this talk was given at the overflow session held in the Assembly Hall on the morning of October 5, presided over by Elder Rudger Clawson (see 1913-10-conference-record-session-notes-14), not in the main Tabernacle session. De-hyphenated, reflowed paragraphs, fixed OCR errors ("accomplishthat"->"accomplish that", "premit"->"permit").
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: verified against archive.org/details/conferencereport1913sa leaves 48-51 (page/n48 through page/n50), page-by-page collation against the scan/OCR witness under the "ELDER REY L. PRATT." running head, which recurs unbroken across the whole span (previously split into two files at an arbitrary page boundary). Confirmed boundary: opens with its own byline "ELDER REY L. PRATT. (President of Mexican Mission.)" immediately after the overflow meeting's opening hymn/prayer/anthem, and closes with "...which I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen." immediately before the vocal solo "O Divine Redeemer" sung by Sister Ida Morris, which is session material, not part of this talk, and has been excluded from the body.
