Collation history

Proofread against the source text.

Heavyweight pass: collated against conferencereport1927sa djvu OCR.

Collated word-by-word against the original scan.

Heavyweight pass: this was one continuous George Albert Smith address wrongly split at ingestion into two files (1927-10-23, -24); the second file's opening ('With happiness and with thanksgiving, there departs...') directly continues the first file's final paragraph with no subhead, session break, or 'Amen.' in between in the source, only a page-turn running-head. Merged them and collated word-for-word against the conferencereport1927sa djvu OCR witness (Second Day Morning Meeting, Saturday, October 8, 1927). Corrected date from approximate to exact and calling_at_time (Quorum of the Twelve). Removed two bled-in running-head fragments ('ELDER GEORGE ALBERT SMITH' with and without page number). Fixed OCR typos: 'in 6ur worship' -> 'in our worship'; 'our being \' -> 'our being'; 'eternallife' -> 'eternal life'; 'Redeemer ot the world' -> 'Redeemer of the world' (both occurrences); 'without money and-with-out price' -> 'without money and without price'; stray periods in '.sincerely loved' and 'good .men' removed; 'I am not , dependent' -> 'I am not dependent'; 'my brethren arid my sisters' -> 'my brethren and my sisters'; 'a mission t of peace' -> 'a mission of peace'; stray comma in 'have been , taught' removed. Confirmed boundary: begins after William R. Sloan's mission report and ends with 'Amen.'
