George F. Richards · 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 1916-04-33 file (there misattributed as 'Geo. F. Richards', a name variant) are a single continuous talk split at a page turn with a stray leaf-number fragment ('Ill'); merged into one file and deleted the duplicate. Split off the trailing session-record block (closing anthem/prayer and the Outdoor Meeting's opening) into a new conference_record file. Corrected date/session to Third Day Second Overflow Meeting -- Richards explicitly refers to this as the meeting he is presiding over closing. Fixed scattered OCR letter-errors (heaieui/heareth, doe-h/doeth, iUbert/Albert). 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.
