Heavyweight pass: collated against conferencereport1927sa djvu OCR.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: this was one continuous Joseph Fielding Smith address wrongly split at ingestion into two files (1927-10-58, -59); the second file's opening scripture quotation directly continues the first file's final sentence ('Evils may come upon us, for the Lord has said by way of warning.'), with only a page-turn running-head in between. Merged them and collated word-for-word against the conferencereport1927sa djvu OCR witness (Second Day Afternoon Meeting, Saturday, October 8, 1927). Corrected date from approximate to exact. Removed two bled-in running-head/page-number fragments ('ELDER JOSEPH FIELDING SMITH 141', 'ELDER JOSEPH FIELDING SMITH 143'). Fixed OCR typos: 'hypocrasy' -> 'hypocrisy'; stray double colon in 'Book of Mormon: :' -> 'Book of Mormon:'; 'yeai, behold all' -> 'yea, behold all'; 'drunken with inquity and all imanner of abominations' -> 'drunken with iniquity and all manner of abominations'; stray semicolon in 'say that it is ;of no worth' -> 'say that it is of no worth'; 'hearken ye unfo my precept' -> 'hearken ye unto my precept'; 'pointed ou{.' -> 'pointed out.'; 'faithful to. this great commandment' -> 'faithful to this great commandment'; 'according to< our works' -> 'according to our works'; 'if we reject it. or prove' -> 'if we reject it, or prove'; 'all the. world' -> 'all the world'. Confirmed boundary: begins with the talk's opening words and ends with 'Amen.'
