Orson F. Whitney · 1916 October General Conference · 1916-10-07
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report published by the Deseret News and hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1916sa). 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: reconstructed true reading order from conferencereport1916sa's DjVu XML via scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py. Found this and the former 1916-10-14 file are a single continuous address wrongly split at a page turn (leaf 51/52); merged into one file and deleted the duplicate. Also found the whole 8-46 talk_order range of this conference carries a systematic date/session mislabeling bug (all stamped First/Second Day Morning regardless of true position): this talk's true leaf position (51, immediately after Whitney's own byline at leaf 51, following Orson F. Whitney's fellow apostles' addresses earlier that day) places it in the Second Day Afternoon Session (Oct 7), not First Day Morning; corrected date/session and calling_at_time accordingly. Restored full printed title from the synopsis block. No wording invented; every removed running head/page-number artifact and merge point verified against the reconstructed reading order.
