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 column data 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. 29-32. Title is supplied from the talk's section heading "Meet, Plan, and Pray."
