No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Proofread against the scan/OCR witness (Internet Archive conferencereport1927a); corrected session/date to the Second Day Morning Meeting (Monday, April 4), restored the session-opening record as lead-in, removed running-head bleed.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: authoritative source URL verified against conferencereport1927a djvu OCR (IA file conferencereport981chur_djvu.txt); the scan shows the 'SECOND DAY / MORNING MEETING' session header directly before this talk (Monday, April 4, 1927, President Heber J. Grant presiding), so this is Clawson's opening address of the Second Day, not a First Day Afternoon talk as previously labeled -- corrected session and date accordingly. Restored the session-opening record (hymn, opening prayer, duet) verbatim from the scan as a lead-in, matching the pattern used for other overflow/day-opening talks where no free talk_order number was available for a separate conference_record file. Removed running-head bleed mid-paragraph ('PRESIDENT RUDGER CLAWSON' twice). source_url page anchor derived from the item's own page_numbers.json leaf map (printed page 78 = leaf n80).
This is a living critical edition. If you find a transcription, metadata, or sourcing error in this talk, report it to the editors →Reports are collated against the page scan and land as corrections in the vault.
