Heavyweight pass: collated against conferencereport1927sa djvu OCR.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: this file was ingested with the placeholder speaker 'Of The Western States Mission' rather than the actual speaker's name. Identified the true speaker as John M. Knight, President of the Western States Mission, from a bled-in running-head fragment ('ELDER JOHN M. KNIGHT') mid-paragraph, cross-checked against the mission-presidents roster in the conference's opening front matter (1927-10-01), which lists 'John M. Knight, Western States.' Collated word-for-word against the conferencereport1927sa djvu OCR witness (First Day Afternoon Meeting, Friday, October 7, 1927). Corrected date from approximate to exact and session from Morning to Afternoon. Fixed OCR typos: 're-etsablishment' -> 're-establishment'; 'no respector of persons' -> 'no respecter of persons'; a stray slash before 'theological schools' removed; 'into ithe missions' -> 'into the missions'; 'a, short time' -> 'a short time'; stray parenthesis before 'Saints to search the scriptures' removed; stray quote marks in "reason for 'the "hope" -> 'reason for the hope'. Confirmed boundary: begins after Samuel O. Bennion's report and ends with 'Amen.'
