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). Corrected speaker from the placeholder 'Of The Northern States Mission' to the actual speaker, John H. Taylor, per a bled-in running-head fragment within the ingested body ('ELDER JOHN H. TAYLOR') and the officer roster (Taylor was released as Northern States Mission president this same conference, consistent with the talk's reference to 'leaving the mission field'). Removed the running-head fragment, which had split 'opportunity' across a page break. Fixed OCR typos: 'devption' -> 'devotion'; 'T humbly pray' -> 'I humbly pray'. Corrected session/date. Confirmed boundary: ends with 'Amen.'
