David O. McKay · 1927 April General Conference · 1927-04-04
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); merged in the mis-split continuation that had been filed separately as 1927-04-29 (the second half's heading 'WHAT THE LATTER-DAY SAINTS ARE DOING TO PREACH' is a subheading within the same address, not a new talk); removed running-head bleed; fixed OCR typos.
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 at leaf n105-106) and cross-checked against the page_numbers.json leaf map. Confirmed this and former 1927-04-29 (david-o-mckay-remarks-35) are one continuous David O. McKay discourse split across a page boundary with no talk boundary or 'Amen' between them; the file previously labeled 1927-04-29 began mid-address at a subheading ('WHAT THE LATTER-DAY SAINTS ARE DOING TO PREACH THE GOSPEL'). Merged the two into this file and deleted the duplicate. Removed three running-head bleed artifacts ('ELDER DAVID O. McKAY' / 'ELDER DAVID 0. McKAY') and a garbled page-number artifact ('i06'). Fixed OCR letter errors ('Jestis Christ' -> 'Jesus Christ', 'ot a world-wide' -> 'of a world-wide', 'il> health' -> 'ill health'). Confirmed this talk falls in the Second Day Afternoon Meeting (Monday, April 4), following Orson F. Whitney's address; corrected session from 'First Day Afternoon Session' and date from 1927-04-01/approximate to 1927-04-04/exact.
