Collation history

Proofread against the source text.

Proofread against the IA scan/OCR witness (conferencereport1970sa); no OCR errors found requiring correction.

Collated word-by-word against the original scan.

Heavyweight pass: collated against the conferencereport1970sa djvu OCR witness (lines ~5635-6125). Confirmed talk boundaries: begins at President Joseph Fielding Smith's introduction ('Elder Delbert L. Stapley of the Council of the Twelve will be our concluding speaker at this session') correctly excluded from the body, opens at Stapley's own 'My brothers and sisters and friends'; ends at Stapley's own 'In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.', correctly excluding the following session-business bleed (adjournment notice, choir/benediction notes, Second Day session opener). Body text matched the OCR verbatim word-for-word; no OCR garbling found needing correction. No authoritative CHL catalog record found distinct from the IA item; source_url retained as the verified IA scan.
