Stephen L Richards · 1919 October General Conference · 1919-10-04
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, n194) confirmed as correct IA item/era. MAJOR boundary fix: removed ~75 lines of session business bled in after the closing 'Amen' -- the sustaining of Church authorities, a full closing hymn, a benediction, the opening of an entirely separate 'Closing Session' with its own hymn and prayer notice. None of that belongs to this talk. Removed a running-head fragment ('ELDER STEPHEN L. RICHARDS. 199') bled mid-sentence. Fixed OCR letter/punctuation errors ('oraiseworthy' -> 'praiseworthy', 'thatjhey' -> 'that they', stray underscores/quotes). 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.
