Loren C. Dunn · 1968 October General Conference · 1968-10-05
Transcribed from the official printed Conference Report of the One Hundred Thirty-eighth Semiannual (October 1968) General Conference, digitized by the Church History Library and hosted at the Internet Archive (item conferencereport1968sa), pp. 73-75. 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 (the flag cited printed pages 71-72, which map to DjVu leaf 73-75 in this scan's leaf-vs-printed-page offset). President N. Eldon Tanner's introduction identifies him as "Elder Loren C. Dunn of the First Council of Seventy," following Elder S. Dilworth Young (already in the vault) and preceding Elder Boyd K. Packer (already in the vault); the closing paragraph's running head is mislabeled "ELDER BOYD K. PACKER" (a page running-head bleed from the following talk) but its content and Tanner's follow-up ("He to whom we have just listened is Elder Loren C. Dunn") confirm it belongs to this address. 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 conferencereport1968sa DjVu XML reading order (leaf 73-75) to fill a gap flagged in the prior heavyweight review pass (progress/reports/conference-reports/1968-10.md), which found Elder Loren C. Dunn's address never ingested. Collated directly against the reconstructed page text; verbatim from opening to closing 'Amen' with only mechanical OCR/hyphenation cleanup, no paraphrase. Confirmed the boundary against the preceding Young talk and the following Packer talk (both already in the vault), and resolved the closing paragraph's mislabeled running head using Tanner's follow-up remark naming Dunn as the speaker just heard.
