Collation history

Proofread against the source text.

Proofread against the official/CHL/JSP source plus scan/OCR witness; corrected session (Third Day Morning Session, Tuesday, October 5, 1926, not First Day Afternoon) and date to exact; body already matched the OCR closely, minor spacing/running-head confirmation only.

Collated word-by-word against the original scan.

Heavyweight pass: authoritative source URL verified (archive.org conferencereport1926sa, printed pp. 132-136); page-by-page collation against scan/OCR witness. Talk immediately follows J. Golden Kimball's remarks in the Third Day (Tuesday, October 5, 1926) Morning Session -- confirmed via the OCR's own 'THIRD DAY / MORNING SESSION' header preceding Brigham H. Roberts's talk earlier in that session -- and precedes the session's close ('The conference adjourned until 2 o'clock p. m.') and the Concluding Session header. No adjacent-speaker or session-business bleed at either boundary; talk begins cleanly at 'I earnestly hope...' and ends cleanly at '...Amen.' Corrected session label from 'First Day Afternoon Session' (wrong) to 'Third Day Morning Session' and date from approximate 1926-10-01 to exact 1926-10-05. No missing text; no OCR corruption requiring restoration. Body text already matched the OCR verbatim aside from normalized spacing.
