Thorpe B. Isaacson · 1954 April General Conference · 1954-04-06
Officially published Conference Report; proofread against IA scan conferencereport1954a (leaves 124-127, printed pp. 124-127). CHL/official-Church verification not completed this session (client-rendered SPA catalog not reachable by available tools); IA retained as top-level source per docs/review.md.
No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Proofread against the official/CHL/JSP source plus scan/OCR witness; merged a false paragraph break at a column-wrap point ('President David O. / McKay is a true prophet of God').
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: CHL catalog record for April 1954 could not be verified this session (client-rendered SPA, no browser tool access); IA scan conferencereport1954a kept as retained top-level source per docs/review.md. Page-by-page collation against the scan (leaves 124-127, printed pp. 124-127) confirms this is Bishop Thorpe B. Isaacson's (First Counselor in the Presiding Bishopric) address opening the Fourth Day Afternoon Meeting (concluding/seventh session), Tuesday, April 6, 1954, per President McKay's introduction ('Our first speaker this afternoon will be Bishop Thorpe B. Isaacson...He will be followed by Elder Milton R. Hunter'). Set talk_order 1, exact date, calling, and session. Kept the printed drop-cap opening 'ITH THE STATEMENT' as-is (missing 'W', consistent with how sibling talks in this conference were handled). One column-wrap paragraph-break fix noted above; body otherwise matches scan verbatim.
