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: page-by-page collation against conferencereport1916sa's reconstructed reading order. Boundaries and content confirmed correct and complete; two running-head bleeds removed from mid-sentence in the body ('living beELDER DAVID 0. McKAY. / ings as eternal' -> 'living beings as eternal'; another splitting 'standard of' / 'the Church'). Fixed OCR letter errors: 'Enhesus'->'Ephesus', 'asignment'->'assignment'. Removed a dangling, truncated fragment of the following session record ('Notices of overflow meetings...were read by') that had been left at the end of the file after the talk's own 'Amen.' -- the talk itself is complete and unaffected. Confirmed printed title from the synopsis block. Date/session corrected in an earlier pass of this claim.
