Collation history

Proofread against the source text.

Proofread against the official/CHL/JSP source plus scan/OCR witness; corrected speaker from placeholder 'Of The California Mission' to Elder Joseph W. McMurrin (identified from the OCR running head 'ELDER JOSEPH W. McMURRIN'), corrected title, session (Concluding Session, Tuesday afternoon, October 5, 1926, not First Day Afternoon) and date to exact, fixed OCR typos ('MjcMurrin' -> 'McMurrin', 'I glory in -my membership' -> 'I glory in my membership', stray quote after 'I have proved'), removed embedded running heads and a stray period pagination artifact.

Collated word-by-word against the original scan.

Heavyweight pass: authoritative source URL verified (archive.org conferencereport1926sa, printed pp. 136-140); page-by-page collation against scan/OCR witness. Speaker identified from the OCR running head 'ELDER JOSEPH W. McMURRIN / President of the California Mission' immediately following the Concluding Session's opening hymn and prayer (Tuesday afternoon, October 5, 1926) -- confirmed via the OCR's own 'CONCLUDING SESSION' header. Corrected placeholder speaker/title 'Of The California Mission' to Joseph W. McMurrin; corrected session from 'First Day Afternoon Session' (wrong) to 'Concluding Session' and date from approximate 1926-10-01 to exact 1926-10-05. Confirmed boundaries clean: talk begins immediately after the session's opening hymn/prayer notice (no bleed) and ends cleanly at 'Amen.' before President Heber J. Grant's brief remarks introducing the next speakers (see 1926-10-39). Removed three embedded 'ELDER JOSEPH W. McMURRIN' running-head artifacts and page numbers (137, 138, 139) that had bled into the body; fixed OCR errors 'MjcMurrin' -> 'McMurrin' and a misplaced stray quotation mark after 'I have proved'. No missing text; no OCR corruption requiring restoration.
