Proofread against the source text.
Proofread against the IA scan/OCR witness (conferencereport1970sa); confirmed body matches the scan verbatim.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: collated against the conferencereport1970sa djvu OCR witness (speaker header 'Bishop Robert L. Simpson, Of the Presiding Bishopric', delivered to the priesthood session per the address's 'brethren of the priesthood' salutation). Talk boundaries confirmed clean (begins 'My dear brethren of the priesthood...' immediately after the speaker header, ends at Simpson's own 'Amen.' before President Tanner's bridge to the 'Israel, Israel, God Is Calling' hymn); no adjacent-speaker or session-business bleed found. Body text matches the OCR witness verbatim, no OCR errors found requiring correction. No authoritative CHL catalog record found distinct from the IA item; source_url retained as the verified IA scan.
