Richard W. Young · 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, n148, shared with the preceding conference-record item on the same page) confirmed as correct IA item/era. Removed a running-head fragment ('ELDER RICHARD IV. YOUNG.') split mid-word ('declara...tion' -> 'declaration') and a stray isolated-character line. Fixed roughly two dozen OCR letter/punctuation errors throughout this long address ('bur' -> 'our', 'Nwaio' -> 'Navajo', 'soverignty'/'sovereignity' -> 'sovereignty', 'Slipreme' -> 'supreme', stray hyphens/apostrophes). 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.
