Joseph Fielding Smith · 1914 April General Conference · 1914-04-05
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report published by the Deseret News and hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1914a). Running heads, page numbers, and line-break hyphenation removed.
No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Light review: in-context proofread, synopsis/session-artifact cleanup, and spacing fixes. NOT a full page-by-page scan collation.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: verified against IA scan/OCR (conferencereport1914a leaves 91-92); confirmed talk opens right after McKay's address in the Second Day Afternoon Session (the running head still shows 'ELDER DAVID O. McKAY.' at the very tail of leaf 91 where Smith Jr.'s talk actually begins, per this vault's established convention that headers reflect the majority speaker of a page, not necessarily its very last lines) -- corrected date/session from First Day Afternoon; removed trailing period from speaker (matches 'Joseph F. Smith, Jr.' convention elsewhere). 0 QC ERRORs.
This is a living critical edition. If you find a transcription, metadata, or sourcing error in this talk, report it to the editors →Reports are collated against the page scan and land as corrections in the vault.
