Rey L. Pratt · 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: anchored source_url to archive.org conferencereport1919a n132 (printed page 131, where the OCR running head 'ELDER REY L. PRATT (President of the Mexican Mission.)' introduces this address). Verified against the djvu OCR (conferencereport1919a_djvu.xml, leaves 132-135) that Rey L. Pratt delivered exactly one address in this session -- not two -- running from 'I sincerely trust...' through its own 'Amen.' on leaf 135, immediately followed by the running head 'ELDER CHARLES W. NIBLEY.' The previously separate file 1919-06-78, also attributed to Pratt, was in fact a mis-split fragment: its text ('May the Lord bless us, and help us all...Amen.') is the genuine closing paragraph of Theodore Tobiason's preceding address (1919-06-77), carried over onto the top of this same printed page ahead of the 'ELDER REY L. PRATT' running head. That fragment has been restored to 1919-06-77 and 1919-06-78 deleted, leaving a gap in talk_order. Fixed numerous OCR letter errors ('1ooker1 vmn'->'looked upon', 'stav'->'stay', 'acauainted'->'acquainted', 'r'esire'->'desire', 'faithr--n"'->'faithfully', 'wav'->'way', 'lick of laborers'->'lack of laborers', 'hive "ever'->'have never', 'T want'->'I want', 'Vorth America'->'North America', 'neople'->'people', 'giveri'->'given', 'ana'->'and', 'tht'->'the', 'Churcn'->'Church', 'revelaators'->'revelators', 'Redeemer Is'->'Redeemer is', and doubled/stray spacing throughout). Also fixed 'from our labors' stray leading period and closing-quote artifact. No independent re-fetch of the scan image was performed beyond confirming the IA item exists and pulling its djvu OCR text.
