Heavyweight pass: collated word-for-word against the conferencereport1928a djvu OCR witness (First Day Morning Meeting, Friday, April 6, 1928; leaves 16-19). This talk's opening had been wrongly appended to the tail of the Ivins Hill Cumorah essay file, and its closing half wrongly concatenated with the start of Rey L. Pratt's following talk in a single file; reassembled the full talk here from both fragments and split Pratt's talk into its own new file. Retitled from the printed calling subhead to the talk's opening words, moving the calling into calling_at_time. Removed two bled-in running-head/page-number fragments ('ELDER SYLVESTER Q. CANNON 17'; '18 GENERAL CONFERENCE') left mid-sentence. Fixed numerous OCR typos from misread capital I/T and other letter confusions: 'Tt is a surprise' -> 'It is'; 'T venture' -> 'I venture' (x1); 'a^ efficiently' -> 'as efficiently'; 'iust received' -> 'just received'; 'thev shall improve' -> 'they shall improve'; 'Tf any man' -> 'If any man'; 'This will T do' -> 'This will I do'; 'bv the Church. T visited' -> 'by the Church. I visited'; 'markel' -> 'market'; 'Thev have been trained' -> 'They have been trained'; "tends' very" -> 'tends very'; 'thev enjov' -> 'they enjoy'; 'Mav we develop' -> 'May we develop'. Corrected session/date. Confirmed boundary: begins after Anthony W. Ivins's talk (following a duet) and ends with 'Amen.' before Rey L. Pratt's address.
