Fidelity

◕Authoritative print

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.

Witnesses

No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.

Collation history

Proofread against the source text.

Proofread against the official/CHL/JSP source plus scan/OCR witness; fixed two stray-hyphen OCR artifacts (prepare- men/not- been), corrected session to Second Day Afternoon Session and date to 1926-10-04 (exact) per OCR session headers.

Collated word-by-word against the original scan.

Heavyweight pass: authoritative source URL verified (archive.org conferencereport1926sa, printed page 102); page-by-page collation against scan/OCR witness confirms clean boundaries (follows President Heber J. Grant's brief remarks and intervening hymn/prayer session business, correctly excluded, opening the OCR's Second Day Afternoon Session, Monday, October 4, 1926; talk closes cleanly before Elder Hyrum G. Smith's address begins). Corrected session/date metadata and fixed minor OCR artifacts in body; subheadings retained per established convention.
