◕Authoritative print

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.

Witnesses

No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.

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 verbatim against conferencereport1916a OCR via reconstructed reading order (spot-checked the Kyama/Hawaii mission narrative, matching exactly). Corrected date/session from Second Day Morning to Third Day Outdoor Meeting. Removed a mid-paragraph running-head artifact. Fixed extensive OCR letter-errors throughout (a common defect on this pair of pages): t-he/the, dunkey/donkey, Kvama/Kyama, von/yon-you swaps, William W. duff/Cluff, consecmentlv/consequently, and similar. This talk has no printed dash-synopsis; supplied an honest title from its own narrative. No missing/invented text.
