John Longden · 1952 October General Conference · 1952-10-03
Official printed text of the One Hundred Twenty-third Semi-Annual (October) General Conference, held October 3, 4, and 5, 1952, as published in the Church Conference Report. Page images were consulted through the Church History Catalog record (Conference Report, October 1952; record c9a74cfb-3a9f-429a-806f-f7ec2ec5a70e) and the Church History Library preservation scan on the Internet Archive (conferencereport1952sa). Heavyweight review collated the text page-by-page against that scan; running heads, page numbers, and hyphenation artifacts were removed; corrected the OCR misread "1am grateful" to "I am grateful" against the scan image.
