Proofread against the official/CHL/JSP source plus scan/OCR witness; corrected session (Concluding Session, Tuesday afternoon, October 5, 1926, not Second Day Morning) and date to exact, removed embedded running heads/page numbers, fixed OCR typos, reflowed a synopsis line and paragraph breaks.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: authoritative source URL verified (archive.org conferencereport1926sa, printed pp. 151-153); page-by-page collation against scan/OCR witness. Speaker identified from the OCR running head 'ELDER SYLVESTER Q. CANNON / Presiding Bishop of the Church', introduced by President Grant's mention of Neff and Blood's absence immediately after Mark V. Coombs (1926-10-44) in the Concluding Session, Tuesday afternoon, October 5, 1926. Corrected session from 'Second Day Morning Session' (wrong) to 'Concluding Session' and date from approximate 1926-10-01 to exact 1926-10-05. Confirmed boundaries clean: begins immediately after Grant's remarks and ends cleanly at 'Amen.'; removed the trailing 'A solo, "My Redeemer and my Lord," was sung by Mrs. Joseph Haycock' session-music note, which is not part of the talk (Cannon's remarks are followed immediately by the sustaining of General Authorities, 1926-10-46). Removed two embedded running-head/page-number artifacts (page 152, 'ELDER SYLVESTER Q. CANNON' p.153) that had bled mid-sentence into the body. No missing text; no OCR corruption requiring restoration.
