Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report published by the Deseret News and hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1927a, underlying file conferencereport981chur_djvu.txt). Running heads, page numbers, and line-break hyphenation removed.
No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Proofread against the scan/OCR witness (Internet Archive conferencereport1927a); fixed speaker misattribution -- the ingest had filed the talk under the generic placeholder 'Of The Central States Mission' instead of the named speaker, Samuel O. Bennion, President of the Central States Mission; removed running-head bleed and a garbled page-number artifact.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: authoritative source URL verified against conferencereport1927a djvu OCR and confirmed via the item's full-text search-inside API (opening words match near leaf n96) and cross-checked against the page_numbers.json leaf map. Scan header at this talk reads 'ELDER SAMUEL O. BENNION' / 'President of the Central States Mission', confirming the speaker is Samuel O. Bennion, not a generic mission placeholder as previously filed. Renamed id accordingly. Confirmed this talk directly follows George F. Richards's address and precedes Orson F. Whitney's, all within the Second Day Morning Meeting (Monday, April 4) -- the 'AFTERNOON MEETING' header does not appear until after this talk ends. Corrected session from 'First Day Afternoon Session' and date from 1927-04-01/approximate to 1927-04-04/exact. Removed a garbled page-number artifact ('<>4') and running-head bleed ('ELDER SAMUEL 0. BEN N ION' at the tail).
