OCR ingestion with auto-cleaning and paragraph reflowing. Archive snapshot pending.
No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Proofread against the IA scan/OCR witness (conferencereport1970sa); fixed mid-sentence line-break artifacts and rejoined a split sidehead.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: collated against the conferencereport1970sa djvu OCR witness. Stripped ~400 words of bled-in trailing material that did not belong to this talk (Harold B. Lee's closing remarks, choir/prayer/adjournment notes, and the full Second Session opening boilerplate including Joseph Fielding Smith's introductory statement) — the talk now ends at Benson's own 'In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.' Rejoined a mid-sentence line break ('President Harold B.\n\nLee') and a split sidehead ('Temptations and pitfalls'). No authoritative CHL catalog record found distinct from the IA item; source_url retained as the verified IA scan.
