John A. Widtsoe · 1943 October General Conference · 1943-10-03
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report of the One Hundred Fourteenth Semi-Annual Conference (October 1-3, 1943), scanned by the Church History Library and hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1943sa). The page images are two-column; reading order was reconstructed from the DjVu word coordinates (XY-cut), then cleaned and corrected against the printed text: running heads, page numbers, and line-break hyphenation removed; paragraphing and subheadings restored. Heavyweight review (cursor-agent) collated the discourse against the IA djvu OCR of the same CHL scan; it occupies approximately printed pp. 111-115 (IA leaf n112 ff.; image leaf = printed page + 1, verified against the IA scandata page map). source_archived_url points to the IA page view of the CHL scan; a dedicated Wayback Machine snapshot still needs to be created. Grade reflects the officially published Conference Report.
CHL-contributed scan of the printed Conference Report; the djvu OCR of this item was used as the page-by-page collation witness. Image leaf = printed page + 1 (verified via IA scandata: printed p. 3 = leaf 4).
Proofread against the source text.
Heavyweight review (cursor-agent): collated page-by-page against the CHL-scanned Conference Report via the Internet Archive djvu OCR witness (printed pp. 111-115); corrected the conference designation from the One Hundred Thirteenth to the One Hundred Fourteenth Semi-Annual Conference per the printed title page; discourse boundaries, subheadings, and metadata confirmed. Removed a stray OCR bracket character in the body.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: the best available authoritative source is the Church History Library preservation scan of the printed Conference Report (Internet Archive item conferencereport1943sa, contributed by the Church History Library). No official online text exists for 1943 (pre-1971 conferences are not on churchofjesuschrist.org), and a matching CHL catalog asset URL could not be programmatically verified, so the verified CHL-contributed IA scan is retained as source_url and the limitation is flagged here. Image leaf = printed page + 1, verified against the IA scandata page map (printed p. 3 = leaf 4). Discourse occupies approximately printed pp. 111-115 (IA leaf n112 ff.); collated against the IA djvu OCR: opening/closing boundaries verified (no truncation or adjacent-speaker bleed) and the body scanned for residual OCR/layout artifacts. Removed a stray OCR bracket character in the body.
