James E. Talmage · 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 printed synopsis, matching exactly). Corrected session from Second Day Morning to the Closing Session (Tabernacle, 2 p.m., Third Day) -- this talk is in fact the opening address of the conference's final session, following a recovered session gap now in 1916-04-conference-record-session-notes-40.md (the vacant talk_order 40 slot). Removed a mid-word running-head artifact and fixed scattered OCR letter-errors (oe/be, thf/the, neaven/heaven, synonomously/synonymously, wonfully/wonderfully). 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.
