Heavyweight pass corrected session from "Second Day Morning Session" to "Second Day Afternoon Session" (this talk follows Reed Smoot's talk in the same afternoon session, see 1913-10-36), and restored the missing ending (roughly the second half of the talk, from "...Take to your hearts the wise counsel and instructions of President Francis M. Lyman..." through the closing "Amen."), which had been truncated at a page boundary in the previous draft. Fixed OCR errors ("John Whitmer.one"->"John Whitmer, one", a stray period).
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: verified against archive.org/details/conferencereport1913sa leaves 98-101 (page/n97 through page/n100), page-by-page collation against the scan/OCR witness under the "ELDER ORSON F. WHITNEY." running head. Confirmed boundary: opens with its own byline immediately after Reed Smoot's talk (see 1913-10-36), and closes with "...and God will be glorified through our administrations. Amen." immediately before the anthem "The Lord will comfort Zion" and the benediction pronounced by Elder Lemuel H. Redd, which close the Second Day Afternoon Session ("Conference adjourned until 10...").
