E. Wesley Smith · 1919 June General Conference · 1919-06-02
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report published by the Deseret News and hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1919a). 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: source_url (archive.org conferencereport1919a, n121) confirmed as correct IA item/era against conferencereport1919a_page_numbers.json (printed page 120 -> leaf 121). Verified speaker/calling against the OCR running head 'ELDER E. WESLEY SMITH. (President of the Hawaiian Mission.)'; corrected the stray trailing periods on speaker and calling_at_time. This is E. Wesley Smith (son of Ioseph/Joseph F. Smith's Hawaiian-mission-era missionary father, referred to in-text as 'Iosepa'), newly called to preside over the Hawaiian mission, transitioning from serving under President Robinson in the California mission -- confirmed continuous with no boundary contamination, opening right after 1919-06-68 and closing with 'Amen.' before the next session item. This file had a large number of uncorrected OCR letter errors from the prior light-review pass; fixed throughout: 'n,ot'->'not', 'l/ikened'->'likened', 'tokl the"1- 'A«d'->'told them: "And', 'ovei'->'over', 'thai'->'that', "I'D"->"I'll", 'what what'->'what', '.see'->'see', 'islard'->'island', 'ana'->'and', 'tnt'->'the', 'rale'->'rule', "M>"->'My', 'mv voice'->'my voice', 'voire'->'voice', 'Crktians'->'Christians', 'O.tr'->'Our', 'dav'->'day', 'the world of evil .smirks. Thev'->'the world of evil spirits. They' (context: 'they thought he was Satan' confirms 'spirits' over the OCR misread 'smirks'), 'T have'->'I have', 'sav'->'say', '"^hi*'->'This', 'sponsibility'->'responsibility', 'assitance'->'assistance', and various stray spacing/punctuation artifacts. Removed a mid-body running-head/page-number bleed ('122 GENERAL CONFERENCE.' with a stray floating 'a') that had split a sentence. No independent re-fetch of the scan image was performed beyond confirming the IA item exists and pulling its djvu OCR text.
