Joseph Fielding Smith · 1916 October General Conference · 1916-10-08
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: page-by-page collation against conferencereport1916sa reconstructed reading order (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py). Boundaries, speaker, and content confirmed correct and complete; no bundling, mis-splits, or truncation found. Minor OCR/formatting cleanup (trailing period stripped from speaker name to match vault convention). Date/session corrected in an earlier pass of this claim.
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.
