German E. Ellsworth · 1916 April General Conference · 1916-04-09
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: this file and the former 1916-04-23 file are a single continuous talk by German E. Ellsworth, and the original ingest additionally DROPPED the bridging fragment at the page break ('elder who has ever come to the Northern States Mission, and has') -- that lost fragment is exactly what the original ingest's title-extraction bug had turned into the former file 23's garbled id/title ('who-has-ever-come-to-the-northern-states-mission-a...'). Restored the missing fragment verbatim from conferencereport1916a's reconstructed reading order, merged both files into one, and deleted the duplicate. Removed a mid-word running-head artifact. Fixed scattered OCR letter-errors (cornets/corners, thev/they, todav/today, bv/by, cigaretts/cigarettes, and similar). No missing/invented text beyond the verbatim-restored bridge phrase; boundaries against the preceding session record and the following talk confirmed clean.
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.
