Proofread against the conferencereport1970sa OCR.

Collated word-by-word against the original scan.

Heavyweight pass: collated against the IA djvu OCR witness. Removed trailing boundary bleed (Lee's transition into Bennett's talk, the hymn announcement, and a stray running-head fragment, appended after Brockbank's 'Amen.'); fixed two inline running-head/page-bleed injections ('GENERAL CONFERENCE Sunday, October 4' spliced mid-sentence into '...extravaganzas that awaited them'; 'Third Day' spliced inside the word 'atheist'). Exact date set to Oct 4, 1970 (Third Day Afternoon, Seventh/closing session) and session/talk_order set from sequence position in the printed index. No authoritative CHL catalog record found distinct from the IA item; source_url retained as the verified IA scan.
