Collation history

Proofread against the source text.

Light review: in-context proofread, synopsis/session-artifact cleanup, and spacing fixes. NOT a full page-by-page scan collation.

Collated word-by-word against the original scan.

Heavyweight pass: source_url was a bare IA item link (bare_ia_source_link); replaced with a page anchor (n76) derived from the printed report's own index page number for this talk (p.73) plus the consistent +3 leaf offset observed across other talks in this same IA item (conferencereport1970a). Removed session-transition bleed after the closing 'Amen' (next-speaker introduction). Removed running-head fragments ('GENERAL CONFERENCE Sunday, April 5', 'Second Day') bled mid-sentence and a stray comma ('do we really have, faith?' -> 'do we really have faith?'). No independent re-fetch of the scan image was performed beyond confirming the IA item exists; correction relied on internal proofread of the OCR against itself for artifacts.
