Orson F. Whitney · 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 OCR misreads of otherwise-legible words ("publir" to "public", "diey" to "they", "Ms motive" to "his motive", "humanly sneaking" to "humanly speaking", "then-ships" to "their ships"), removed a garbled running-head artifact, corrected session/date.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: authoritative source URL verified (archive.org conferencereport1926sa, page/n92); page-by-page collation against scan/OCR witness. Boundaries confirmed clean: talk opens directly under the ELDER ORSON F. WHITNEY running head with its own title "FIFTY YEARS OF SERVICE," immediately after Elder Richards's address, and closes cleanly at "...its glorious consummation" immediately before Elder Rey L. Pratt's address begins — no bleed at either end. 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 "SECOND DAY / MORNING SESSION" header (Monday, October 4, 1926). Fixed several OCR misreads in the body (verified as OCR-layer errors, not print errors, by checking surrounding legible context) and removed a garbled running-head fragment ("( i E XERAL CONFERENCE").
