LeGrand Richards · 1967 October General Conference · 1967-09-30
Transcribed from the official printed Conference Report of the One Hundred Thirty-seventh Semiannual (October 1967) General Conference, digitized by the Church History Library and hosted at the Internet Archive (item conferencereport1967sa), pp. 111-115. Reading order rebuilt from the item's DjVu OCR word coordinates (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py). Never previously ingested into the vault; flagged missing by the 2026 heavyweight review of this conference and ingested in this pass. President N. Eldon Tanner's introduction identifies him as "Elder LeGrand Richards," followed by President Hugh B. Brown, the session's concluding speaker (already in the vault). Running heads, page numbers, and leaf markers removed; de-hyphenated line breaks and reflowed paragraphs; printed editorial side-heads preserved as Markdown headings 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 conferencereport1967sa DjVu XML reading order (leaf 111-115) to fill a gap flagged in the prior heavyweight review pass (progress/reports/conference-reports/1967-10.md), which found Elder LeGrand Richards's address never ingested. Collated directly against the reconstructed page text; verbatim from opening to closing 'Amen' with only mechanical OCR/hyphenation cleanup and restoration of the printed side-heads, no paraphrase. Confirmed the boundary against the following Hugh B. Brown talk (already in the vault).
