Hyrum G. Smith · 1916 April General Conference · 1916-04-07
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report published by the Deseret News and hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1916a). 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 verbatim against conferencereport1916a OCR via reconstructed reading order (spot-checked the 'chosen blood of Ephraim' passage, matching exactly). Removed a mid-paragraph running-head artifact (the speaker's own name, garbled: 'PATRIARCH HYRL1M G. SMITH.'). Fixed OCR letter-errors (thankul/thankful, blesssings/blessings, Latterday/Latter-day). Boundaries against the preceding Ivins talk and the following Whitney talk confirmed clean. No missing/invented text.
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.
