Heavyweight pass: recovered this closing testimony from President J. Reuben Clark, Jr. (index leaf n148, 'Gratitude for prayers of Saints' and 'Testimony'), which the original ingest had appended directly onto the end of Elder Mark B. Garff's preceding address in the same file rather than splitting it into its own talk. Split the two apart: trimmed Garff's file back to his own closing 'Amen' and created this new file for Clark's closing remarks, which begin with his introduction of the next few missionary testimonies (Elder Jacobs of the Palestine-Syrian Mission, Elder A. Richard Peterson and Elder John A. Israelson of the Norwegian Mission) before his own gratitude and testimony. Also removed a running-head page-break artifact ('148 GENERAL CONFERENCE' / 'Sunday, April 7 Third Day') that had split a hyphenated sentence in Garff's file.
