Ezra Taft Benson · 1945 April General Conference · 1945-04-07
Transcribed from Internet Archive OCR for the One Hundred Fifteenth Annual Conference (April 6-8, 1945), using reconstructed reading order from the DjVu XML. Heavyweight review (codex) checked the text against the IA scan/OCR witness, corrected high-confidence OCR/layout artifacts, and removed obvious session-boundary bleed where found. No official online Church text or separately verifiable CHL catalog URL was found for this pre-1971 report; source_archived_url points to the Internet Archive item itself. Title is supplied from the printed index or discourse subject headings.
Verified scan/OCR witness used for heavyweight collation; no more authoritative online source was verified in this pass.

Heavyweight pass: no official online Church text or separately verifiable CHL catalog URL was found for this pre-1971 report, so the verified Internet Archive scan of the printed Conference Report is retained as source_url. Collated against the IA DjVu OCR/coordinate reading-order witness; obvious running heads, page numbers, OCR artifacts, and session/material bleed cleaned where found.
