George Albert Smith · 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: verified verbatim against conferencereport1916a OCR via reconstructed reading order (spot-checked 'the amelioration of the condition', matching exactly). Corrected id/speaker/speaker_id from 'Geo. Albert Smith'/'geo-albert-smith' to the vault's canonical 'George Albert Smith'/'george-albert-smith'. Corrected date/session to Third Day Outdoor Meeting, following directly from Rey L. Pratt's talk. Removed a stray leading blank line; the printed synopsis was used as the basis for the title and correctly excluded from the body. Fixed OCR letter-errors (refernce/reference, darkskinned/dark-skinned). 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.
