The Importance of Recording Personal Testimony for History

Andrew Jenson · 1916 April General Conference · 1916-04-09

Fidelity

◕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 3 Nephi 23 quotation, matching exactly). Corrected date/session to Third Day Outdoor Meeting, following directly from John R. Young's talk. Removed a garbled running-head artifact. Fixed scattered OCR letter-errors (ITence/Hence, Luthern/Lutheran, Latterday/Latter-day, and similar). This talk has no printed dash-synopsis; supplied an honest title from its own central appeal. No missing/invented text.
