Gordon B. Hinckley · 1970 October General Conference · 1970-10-01
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); confirmed body text matches the scan verbatim aside from a stray OCR section-end marker.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: collated against the conferencereport1970sa djvu OCR witness (lines ~13232-13373, priesthood session, p.102-103, immediately preceding Evans' New Era remarks in the same session). Body matched the scan verbatim. Confirmed boundaries (byline 'Elder Gordon B. Hinckley, Of the Council of the Twelve' to 'in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.'); excludes the preceding hymn announcement and following Evans byline. This is distinct from Hinckley's other 1970-10 talk on chastity ('I should like to speak out across the land') and the third 'concluding speaker' Hinckley remarks bleeding into other files in this conference; set session field accordingly. No authoritative CHL catalog record found distinct from the IA item; source_url retained as the verified IA scan.
