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: source_url (archive.org conferencereport1919sa, n16) confirmed as correct IA item/era. MAJOR boundary fix: the raw OCR had appended an entirely separate, much longer discourse ('DISCOURSE OF PRESIDENT HEBER T. GRANT... In Tabernacle, Salt Lake City, September 21, 1919... Salt Lake stake conference') after this talk's closing 'Amen.' That September 21 address is not part of the October 1919 General Conference at all -- it appears to be supplementary back-matter the printed Conference Report volume bundled in. Removed ~330 lines of that unrelated discourse from this file; it is not lost (it remains recoverable from the same IA scan, archive.org conferencereport1919sa, starting a few pages after n16) but needs its own proper ingestion as a separate, correctly cataloged item (own id/date/category/provenance) rather than living inside this talk. Flagging for a follow-up ingestion task. Fixed minor OCR errors ('q£' -> 'of', 'be*welcomed' -> 'be welcomed', trailing period on speaker field). No independent re-fetch of the scan image was performed beyond confirming the IA item exists.
