Heber J. Grant · 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 a major arbitrary split and misattribution: this talk had been cut off mid-sentence ("...Brother Lewis, who afterwards became the") and its remainder misfiled under a separate id/title/speaker generated from OCR mojibake (a letter-by-letter spaced garble of the fragment "ZION, NO DOUBT THANKED BROTHER," formerly 1913-10-35, speaker listed as "Of The Benson Stake Of"). Restored as one continuous talk by Heber J. Grant. Corrected session/date from "First Day Afternoon Session"/1913-10-04 to "Second Day Afternoon Session"/1913-10-05 (this talk follows the Second Day Afternoon Session's opening hymn/prayer, see 1913-10-conference-record-session-notes-33). Removed mid-body running-head bleeds ("ELDER HEBER J. GRANT."), de-hyphenated, reflowed paragraphs, fixed OCR errors ("thousad"->"thousand", "tnere"->"there", "Y'our"->"Your", "ot"->"of"/"or" as appropriate, "whereever"->"wherever").
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: verified against archive.org/details/conferencereport1913sa leaves 88-97 (page/n87 through page/n96), page-by-page collation against the scan/OCR witness under the "ELDER HEBER J. GRANT." running head, which recurs unbroken across the whole span (previously split into two files at an arbitrary page boundary, with the second half completely misattributed). The garbled former title/speaker of the split-off half ("ZION, NO DOUBT THANKED BROTHER" / "Of The Benson Stake Of") is explained by its source text: "...Brother Lewis, who afterwards became the president of the Benson Stake of Zion, no doubt thanked Brother Merrill that he did not let him run away..." -- an OCR-mangled mid-sentence fragment, not a real title or speaker name. Confirmed boundary: opens after the Second Day Afternoon Session's opening prayer (see 1913-10-conference-record-session-notes-33) and closes with "...is my prayer and I ask it in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen."
