Heavyweight pass: collated against conferencereport1927sa djvu OCR.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: this was one continuous Orson F. Whitney address wrongly split at ingestion into two files (1927-10-60, -61); the second file's opening (a poem, 'INVICTUS') is what the first file explicitly introduces with 'Let me now read to you a very splendid poem:'. Merged them and collated word-for-word against the conferencereport1927sa djvu OCR witness (Second Day Afternoon Meeting, Saturday, October 8, 1927, directly following Joseph Fielding Smith's address). Corrected date from approximate to exact and session from Second Day Morning to Second Day Afternoon. Removed three bled-in running-head/page-number fragments ('ELDER ORSON F. WHITNEY 145', '146 GENERAL CONFERENCE', '148 GENERAL CONFERENCE', 'ELDER ORSON F. WHITNEY'). Fixed OCR typos: stray comma in 'the Holy, Spirit' -> 'the Holy Spirit'; 'the Brfdegroom cometh' -> 'the Bridegroom cometh'; 'shut him. out from' -> 'shut him out from'; 'Ah religion is looked upon' -> 'All religion is looked upon'; 'tabernacle in ithe flesh' -> 'tabernacle in the flesh'; 'But the if all brought death' -> 'But the fall brought death'; "hath no' man" -> 'hath no man'; 'the very iGospel itself' -> 'the very Gospel itself'. Confirmed boundary: begins with the talk's opening words and ends with 'We do not save ourselves. We but avail ourselves of the means of salvation provided by our Lord and Savior, the God who died that man might live.' (this talk has no closing 'Amen' in the source).
