Proofread against the source text.
Heavyweight pass split this talk out of the file that had bundled it with George H. Brimhall's preceding talk (see 1913-10-25-george-h-brimhall-remarks-25); it is a separate discourse with its own byline and printed synopsis ("ELDER JOSEPH F. SMITH, JR.", OCR-garbled once as "EIDER JOSEPH F. SMITH, JB."). Assigned talk_order 28, a pre-existing gap number in this batch's talk_order scheme, to slot this newly-recovered talk between Brimhall (25) and Charles A. Orme (29) without renumbering already-reviewed neighbors. Removed a mid-body running-head bleed ("ELDER JOSEPH F. SMITH, JR." printed mid-sentence), de-hyphenated, reflowed paragraphs, fixed OCR errors ("belongreth"->"belongeth", "memhers"->"members", "wc"->"we", "Rut"->"But", "W e"->"We", "Holv"->"Holy").
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: verified against archive.org/details/conferencereport1913sa leaves 72-77 (page/n71 through page/n76), page-by-page collation against the scan/OCR witness under the "ELDER JOSEPH F. SMITH, JR." running head. Confirmed boundary: opens with its own byline and printed synopsis immediately after George H. Brimhall's talk closes with "God bless you. Amen." (see 1913-10-25), and closes with "...This is my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen."
