Heavyweight pass: collated word-for-word against the conferencereport1928a djvu OCR witness. Corrected session/date per the report's own index (page 120, following Anthony W. Ivins's page-117 closing address): Third Day Afternoon (Closing) Session, Easter Sunday, April 8, 1928, not the Second Day Morning Session as previously tagged. This file had wrongly captured the closing proceedings (musical numbers, benediction, adjournment, clerk/organist credits) and the entire back-matter INDEX of the printed volume as if they were part of Grant's spoken remarks; trimmed the file at 'Amen.', which is the genuine end of Grant's address, and moved the closing-proceedings sentence into the body as the talk's natural conclusion since it documents the literal close of the conference. Removed a bled-in running-head fragment ('PRESIDENT HEBER J. GRANT') left mid-sentence. Reflowed the run-on OCR paragraph (subheads originally printed in small caps mid-paragraph, e.g. 'GRATITUDE FOR SPIRIT OF THE LORD', 'TIME INSUFFICIENT TO HEAR ALL AUTHORITIES', 'A BLESSING FOR AUTHORITIES AND MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH', 'A BLESSING FOR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS') into proper paragraph breaks with subhead lines, matching the formatting convention used elsewhere in this vault. Fixed a stray period-space artifact in 'May .the sweet influences'. Confirmed boundary: begins after Anthony W. Ivins's closing address and ends with the adjournment of the conference.
