Heber J. Grant · 1926 October General Conference · 1926-10-03
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report published by the Deseret News and hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1926sa). This file is a direct continuation of President Grant's First Day Morning Session discourse (no new speaker heading in the source), running from the worth-of-souls quotation through the Josiah Quincy tribute to Joseph Smith and Grant's closing testimony; it continues without a break from 1926-10-02 and the discourse concludes in 1926-10-04 (the plural-marriage statement). Running heads, page numbers, and line-break hyphenation removed.
No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Proofread against the official/CHL/JSP source plus scan/OCR witness; fixed numerous OCR misreads throughout the Josiah Quincy quotation and Doctrine and Covenants quotations (e.g. "tbat"->"that", "upen"->"upon", "commcnplace"->"commonplace", "fqunder"->"founder", "duelhst"->"duelist", "bmitn"->"Smith", "|esus"->"Jesus", "prav"->"pray", "cr in any"->"or in any", "dc nothing"->"do nothing"), removed stray mid-text running heads/page numbers and a garbled word split across a page break ("revelaPRESIDENT HEBER J. GRAN1"/"tion"->"revelation"), removed stray OCR-noise periods, and set the exact session date (1926-10-03, per the source's own dateline) in place of the approximate first-of-month placeholder.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: source URL verified against archive.org conferencereport1926sa (print pages 5-12, IA leaf n6 for the start of this segment); page-by-page collation against scan/OCR witness performed line by line, correcting the OCR misreads and artifacts listed in review_notes. Boundary check: this file is the third of a four-file split (1926-10-01/02/03/04) of one continuous, unbroken Heber J. Grant discourse in the print source — noted in fidelity_notes rather than merging files, since the task scope is metadata/text correction only. No adjacent hymn/session-business bleed; the Josiah Quincy quotation is Grant's own extended reading within his remarks, not a separate speaker or synopsis block.
