Heavyweight pass: collated against the conferencereport1928sa djvu OCR witness (talk begins ~p. 107, Third Day Morning Meeting, Sunday, October 7, 1928, following Levi Edgar Young). Corrected date and session (was mislabeled Second Day Morning). Removed three bled-in 'ELDER MELVIN J. BALLARD' running-head artifacts (one splitting the word 'Whatever' mid-word) and a garbled OCR noise fragment ('r f ■') before a hymn quotation. Fixed numerous OCR typos: 'Webster, jsaid' -> 'Webster, said'; 'the jmeans of establishing' -> 'the means of establishing'; 'I firmly! believe' -> 'I firmly believe'; 'the'se glorious institutions' -> 'these glorious institutions'; 'our missionary syistem' -> 'our missionary system'; 'hold it;s young people' -> 'hold its young people'; 'my brethren and Jsisters' -> 'my brethren and sisters'; 'for !some time past' -> 'for some time past'; 'thi!s people' -> 'this people'; 'God 'speed that day, I prav' -> 'God speed that day, I pray'; opening double-single-quote before the Parley P. Pratt poem's third stanza normalized to a regular quote.
