Fidelity

◕Authoritative print

Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report of the One Hundred Twelfth Annual Conference (April 4-6, 1942), scanned by the Church History Library and hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1942a). OCR was reconstructed from the Internet Archive XML with the repository reading-order helper and cleaned by hand (running heads and line-break hyphenation removed, paragraphing restored, and obvious OCR errors corrected). Not yet proofread line-by-line against the page images; a final scan check is still needed. Grade reflects the officially published Conference Report. Discourse appears on pp. 85-88. Title is supplied from the address content.
