John A. Widtsoe · 1926 October General Conference · 1926-10-04
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report published by the Deseret News and hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1926sa). 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 several stray-character OCR artifacts ("the .author", "by -all", "live'by", "they 'having", "they iare", "truth.?", "in it !daily"), corrected session/date.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: authoritative source URL verified (archive.org conferencereport1926sa, page/n81); page-by-page collation against scan/OCR witness. Boundaries confirmed clean: talk opens directly under the ELDER JOHN A. WIDTSOE running head (immediately after the Second Day Morning Session opening exercises: hymn, prayer, and a vocal solo) and closes with "Amen" immediately before PRESIDENT RUDGER CLAWSON's address begins. Session/date corrected from "First Day Afternoon Session" / 1926-10-01 (approximate) to "Second Day Morning Session" / 1926-10-04 (exact) per the OCR's own "SECOND DAY / MORNING SESSION" header (Monday, October 4, 1926, 10 a.m.), which the prior draft had missed. Fixed remaining stray-character OCR artifacts in the body.
