Proofread against the IA scan/OCR witness (conferencereport1970a); removed bled-in running heads and trailing transition text, corrected date/session.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: collated against the conferencereport1970a djvu OCR witness (leaves ~3000-3233, Second Session, Saturday afternoon, April 4 1970). Removed bled-in running-head/page-number artifacts mid-paragraph ('GENERAL CONFERENCE Saturday, April 4' before 'Brothers and sisters...'; 'First Day' interrupting the family-home-evening paragraph; 'ELDER MARVIN J. ASHTON' / '25' page break before 'Courage to have patience'), and stripped trailing material that did not belong to this talk (President Joseph Fielding Smith's introduction of the next speaker, Bruce R. McConkie). Talk now ends at Ashton's own '...in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.' Date corrected to 1970-04-04 (Second Session convened 2 p.m. Saturday, April 4, 1970); date_precision corrected to exact.
