Heavyweight pass: collated against the conferencereport1970a djvu OCR witness (leaves ~3240-3227ish, Second Session, Saturday afternoon, April 4 1970 — immediately follows Marvin J. Ashton). Confirmed speaker introduced as 'Elder Bruce R. McConkie, Of the First Council of the Seventy.' Removed bled-in running-head/page-number artifacts mid-paragraph ('ELDER BRUCE R. McCONKIE' before 'Celestial marriage'; 'GENERAL CONFERENCE Saturday, April 4' before 'The noblest concept'), and stripped trailing material that did not belong to this talk (President Joseph Fielding Smith's hymn announcement and introduction of the next speaker, Sterling W. Sill). Talk now ends at McConkie's own 'In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.' Date corrected to 1970-04-04 (Second Session, Saturday afternoon); date_precision corrected to exact.
