Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: this was one continuous Melvin J. Ballard address wrongly split at ingestion into two files (1927-10-32, -33); the second file also had Charles H. Hart's entire following address wrongly appended after Ballard's 'Amen.' Merged Ballard's two parts into this file and split Hart's talk into its own new file. Collated word-for-word against the conferencereport1927sa djvu OCR witness. Corrected session/date to Second Day Afternoon Session, Saturday, October 8, 1927 (this is the opening address of that session, immediately after the opening hymn/prayer). Removed two bled-in running-head fragments ('ELDER MEL VIN J. BALLARD', 'ELDER MELVIN 1. BALLARD'). Fixed OCR typos: "Putt the enemy" -> 'But the enemy'; "when the' boy Joseph Smith" -> 'when the boy Joseph Smith'; 'shall riot fail' -> 'shall not fail'; stray bullet before 'commandments of God' removed; 'survive the clangers' -> 'survive the dangers'; 'A WARNING OF DA.NGER' -> 'A WARNING OF DANGER'; "has been' so in all the ages" -> 'has been so in all the ages'; stray '>' in 'by their fruits they > shall be judged' removed; 'building .of tabernacles' -> 'building of tabernacles'; 'B.ETWEEN CAPITAL AND LABOR' -> 'BETWEEN CAPITAL AND LABOR'; 'love of God is in ihe hearts' -> 'in the hearts'; 'Constitution of the Cnited States' -> 'Constitution of the United States'; 'civilization will ,be in dire peril' -> 'will be in dire peril'; 'faith~in those plans' -> 'faith in those plans'; "from this ver\ place" -> 'from this very place'; 'going to . search the world' -> 'going to search the world'; stray quote in 'attracting" attention' removed; 'shalbendure' -> 'shall endure'; 'these doctrins taught' -> 'these doctrines taught'; 'sons and daughtrs of Joseph' -> 'sons and daughters of Joseph'; 'we are «the children of Joseph' -> 'we are the children of Joseph'; 'chosen people (if God' -> 'chosen people of God'; 'inheritors of ulessings' -> 'inheritors of blessings'; 'not .called to be imitators' -> 'not called to be imitators'; 'keep our .eye upon' -> 'keep our eye upon'. Confirmed boundary: begins with the opening address of the Second Day Afternoon Session and ends with 'Amen.'
