Heavyweight pass: collated against conferencereport1928a djvu OCR.

Collated word-by-word against the original scan.

Heavyweight pass: collated word-for-word against the conferencereport1928a djvu OCR witness (Second Day Afternoon Meeting, Saturday, April 7, 1928). Merged the ingestion-time file '1928-04-19-joseph-fielding-smith-remarks-24.md', which was the continuation of this same talk wrongly split into a separate file (the first file ended mid-thought, on 'the spirit of prayer and faith.'); deleted the duplicate and renumbered talk_order for the rest of the conference. Corrected session/date and calling_at_time (Quorum of the Twelve). Removed a bled-in running-head fragment ('ELDER JOSEPH FIELDING SMITH') left mid-sentence. Fixed OCR typos: 'ths church' -> 'the church'; 'Bihle' -> 'Bible'; 'A .man may have' -> 'A man may have'; 'I am ithe Spirit' -> 'I am the Spirit'. Confirmed boundary: begins after John M. Knight's talk and ends with 'Amen.'
