Proofread against the source text.
Proofread against the IA scan/OCR witness (conferencereport1970a); restored missing trailing text (roughly the second half of the talk had been cut off in the prior draft), removed bled-in running heads, corrected calling/date/session.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: collated against the conferencereport1970a djvu OCR witness (leaves ~4517-4859, Second Session, Saturday afternoon, April 4 1970). Confirmed speaker introduced as 'Elder Alvin R. Dyer, Assistant to the Council of the Twelve.' Found the prior draft ended mid-talk at the D&C 20:7-15 scripture quotation (which itself contains an internal '...forever. Amen.' from the quoted revelation text, not the talk's true ending) — restored the missing remainder verbatim from OCR: 'Evil forces at work', 'God's work moves forward' sections through Dyer's own closing testimony and 'in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.' Removed bled-in running-head/page-number artifacts ('ELDER ALVIN R. DYER' / '37' mid-paragraph; '38 GENERAL CONFERENCE Saturday, April 4' mid-paragraph; a stray 'First Day' before 'priesthood that is upon the earth'). Did not include trailing material after the true Amen (President Harold B. Lee's closing remarks for the session), which does not belong to this talk. Date corrected to 1970-04-04 (Second Session, Saturday afternoon); date_precision corrected to exact.
