Joseph Fielding Smith · 1919 October General Conference · 1919-10-03
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report published by the Deseret News and hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1919sa). 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 conferencereport1919sa, n146) confirmed as correct IA item/era. Fixed OCR letter/punctuation errors (stray characters and backslash, 'THE- DOCTRINE' -> 'THE DOCTRINE', 'we^hall' -> 'we shall'). Ends on the talk's own closing 'Amen'; no adjacent-speaker boundary contamination. No independent re-fetch of the scan image was performed beyond confirming the IA item exists; correction relied on internal proofread of the OCR against itself for artifacts.
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.
