Collation history

Proofread against the source text.

Heavyweight pass fixed a merge error: this file had bundled two distinct talks under one byline/title (the placeholder title was actually Brimhall's calling, not a real title, and the body ran on past his closing "Amen" straight into Joseph F. Smith Jr.'s separate talk without a break). Split out Joseph F. Smith Jr.'s talk into its own file (1913-10-25-joseph-f-smith-jr-remarks-28, talk_order 28, a pre-existing gap number in this batch's talk_order scheme reused to slot the new file between Brimhall (25) and Charles A. Orme (29) without disturbing already-reviewed neighbors). Moved calling_at_time out of the title field and corrected session/date from "First Day Afternoon Session"/1913-10-04 to "Second Day Afternoon Session (Second Overflow Meeting)"/1913-10-05. Removed a mid-body running-head bleed ("ELDER GEORGE H, BRIMHALL."). Fixed OCR errors ("thievfcs"->"thieves", "wih"->"will").

Collated word-by-word against the original scan.

Heavyweight pass: verified against archive.org/details/conferencereport1913sa leaves 69-70 (page/n69 through page/n70), page-by-page collation against the scan/OCR witness under the "ELDER GEORGE H. BRIMHALL." running head. Confirmed boundary: opens with its own byline "ELDER GEORGE H. BRIMHALL. (President of Brigham Young University.)" immediately after Mark Austin's talk (see 1913-10-24), and closes with "...God bless you. Amen." immediately before Joseph F. Smith Jr.'s talk, which opens with its own byline and printed synopsis (see 1913-10-25-joseph-f-smith-jr-remarks-28) -- confirming these were always two separate discourses, not one.
