Proofread against the source text.

Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: verified source as the Church History Library-contributed Internet Archive scan conferencereport1966sa (136th Semi-Annual Conference, held Fri Sep 30 - Sun Oct 2, 1966). Rebuilt page reading order from the scan's DjVu XML word-coordinate data (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py) and cross-checked every talk boundary against the report's own exhaustive back-of-book index (leaf n145-150), which lists every address with its own page range and sub-topic headings -- as with 1966 April, this conference's original ingest had split most talks into two-to-three separate fragment files, which the index made it possible to correctly identify and merge. Confirmed session and exact date from the report's own dateline (Friday Sep 30 = First Day, Saturday Oct 1 = Second Day plus the Saturday-evening General Priesthood Meeting, Sunday Oct 2 = Third Day); corrected date_precision from month to exact and added the session field (both were previously unset). Added a page-anchored source_url (leaf n35 of conferencereport1966sa) in place of the bare item link. This is Theodore M. Burton. The body's own opening word is a genuine page-break OCR fragment ('doubtedly'), left verbatim as scanned; the preceding clause (evidently '...Un-') is lost.
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.
