J. Reuben Clark Jr. · 1955 October General Conference · 1955-10-01
Transcribed from the official printed Conference Report of the One Hundred Twenty-sixth Semiannual (October 1955) General Conference, digitized by the Church History Library and hosted at the Internet Archive (item conferencereport1955sa), pp. 87-88. Reading order rebuilt from the item's DjVu OCR word coordinates (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py). Distinct from the already-ingested 1955-10-clark-jesus-is-the-christ.md (his Friday Afternoon Session address); this is his separate General Priesthood Meeting address, never previously ingested into the vault and not caught by the prior heavyweight review's DATA QUALITY FLAG (which named only Critchlow and Stephen L Richards as missing from this session) -- found independently while extracting the flagged Priesthood Meeting talks from the same page range. Running heads, page numbers, and leaf markers removed; de-hyphenated line breaks and reflowed paragraphs; corrected the drop-cap-garbled opening ("■ y brethren" to "My brethren") without altering wording.
No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Light review: in-context proofread against the heavyweight collation already on file; no additional wording changes needed.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Ingested from the conferencereport1955sa DjVu XML reading order (leaf 87-88) while filling this General Priesthood Meeting session's other known gaps; this particular address was not itself flagged in the prior review but was discovered missing from the vault during that work. Collated directly against the reconstructed page text; verbatim from opening to closing 'Amen' with only mechanical OCR/hyphenation cleanup, no paraphrase.
This is a living critical edition. If you find a transcription, metadata, or sourcing error in this talk, report it to the editors →Reports are collated against the page scan and land as corrections in the vault.
