Henry D. Moyle · 1953 October General Conference · 1953-10-04
Official printed text of the One Hundred Twenty-fourth Semi-Annual (October) General Conference, held October 2, 3, and 4, 1953. The Church History Catalog record for the October 1953 Conference Report could not be independently verified this session (client-rendered catalog site; no browser tool access available); the Internet Archive scan (conferencereport1953sa) is retained as the top-level source rather than guessing a record ID. Heavyweight review collated the text page-by-page against that scan (leaves 90-93); body already matched the scan closely; the printed announcer script supplied the talk's real title, so title_supplied is now false.
No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Proofread against IA scan/OCR witness; confirmed body text already matched the scan; recovered the actual announced title from the broadcast script.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: page-by-page collation against IA scan conferencereport1953sa (leaves 90-93); confirmed speaker (Henry D. Moyle, of the Council of the Twelve Apostles, per printed byline), calling (Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, per printed roster leaf 1-2), and date (Sunday, October 4, 1953, per the printed "Church of the Air" broadcast script, presented 8:00-8:30 a.m. by CBS Radio before the regular Sunday morning Tabernacle session). Recovered the real title, "Who Shall Deny or Question the Justice of God?", from the announcer's script ("He has titled today's talk..."), replacing the auto-extracted first-words placeholder; title_supplied set to false accordingly. This talk is a distinct CBS broadcast segment, not part of the Sunday Morning General Conference session proper, so session is recorded as "Church of the Air Broadcast" rather than a numbered conference session. No additional OCR corrections were needed. CHL catalog record for October 1953 could not be verified with available tools this session; kept IA scan as source per docs/review.md rather than fabricate a record ID.
