Collation history

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 (conferencereport1914sa leaves 71-72); confirmed talk continues the Outdoor Meeting sequence on the Temple block (per next speaker Ellsworth's own reference to 'this Temple block') -- corrected session from First Day Afternoon. Removed trailing periods from speaker/calling; supplied title from the talk's theme (the visitor's question about the 'vital force' behind the Saints' progress); fixed scattered OCR letter errors (resuits/results, onlv/only, o£/of, Latter-da}r/Latter-day, lnve/love, literarv/literary, stray T/1 for I). 0 QC ERRORs.
