Heavyweight pass: collated against conferencereport1927sa djvu OCR.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: this was one continuous B. H. Roberts address wrongly split at ingestion into two files (1927-10-10, -11, the latter opening mid-sentence and mid-word, 'crease and out of proportion'); merged them and collated word-for-word against the conferencereport1927sa djvu OCR witness (First Day Morning Meeting, Friday, October 7, 1927). Retitled from the printed calling subhead to the talk's opening words, moving the calling into calling_at_time. Corrected date from approximate to exact. Removed a page-number/glyph artifact ('21') and a bled-in running-head fragment ('ELDER B. H. ROBERTS 23') left mid-text. Fixed OCR typos: 'yo^ur attention' -> 'your attention'; 'by*\nreason' -> 'by reason' (dehyphenated stray asterisk at a line break); 'the firsjt prison census' -> 'the first prison census'; 'pur growth' -> 'our growth'; 'Kving in an age' -> 'living in an age'; 'aind therefore' -> 'and therefore'; 'payrool' -> 'payroll'; 'iSix years ago' -> 'Six years ago'; 'sentence pro-\n* nounced' -> 'sentence pronounced' (dehyphenated stray asterisk); 'he [God!' -> 'he [God]'; 'swSrn in his wrath' -> 'sworn in his wrath'; 'the Nephrite language' -> 'the Nephite language'; stray quote mark after 'Now, mark you :' removed. Confirmed boundary: begins immediately after Sylvester Q. Cannon's address and ends with 'Amen.'
