Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: collated against the conferencereport1970a djvu OCR witness (leaves ~9951-10442, Fourth Session, Sunday morning, April 5 1970 — concluding speaker of that session). Confirmed speaker introduced as 'Elder Hugh B. Brown of the Council of the Twelve.' Removed bled-in running-head artifacts mid-paragraph ('GENERAL CONFERENCE Sunday, April 5' twice; a stray 'Second Day' twice mid-paragraph) and the page-break artifact 'ELDER HUGH B. BROWN' / '79'. Stripped a large block (~370 words) of trailing material that did not belong to this talk: President Harold B. Lee's closing remarks, the full Fourth Session adjournment (choir number, closing prayer by Elder Keith Romney, conference adjournment), and the entire Fifth Session opening (session header, President Joseph Fielding Smith's introductory statement, choir/prayer notes, and his introduction of the next speaker, Mark E. Petersen). Talk now ends at Brown's own 'I testify to you in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.' Date corrected to 1970-04-05 (Fourth Session, Sunday morning; Brown is its concluding speaker per President Lee's closing remarks); date_precision corrected to exact.
