Vicarious Work for the Dead

Rudger Clawson · 1900 October General Conference · 1900-10-05

Fidelity

Authoritative print

Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report of the Seventy-first Semi-Annual Conference (October 1900), scanned and hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1900sa). OCR was cleaned and corrected: running heads, page numbers, and line-break hyphenation removed; obvious OCR errors fixed. Not yet proofread page-by-page against the scan images, so minor residual OCR errors may remain (status: draft, pending review).

Witnesses

No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.

Collation history

Proofread against the source text.

Light review: in-context proofread, synopsis/session-artifact cleanup, and spacing fixes. NOT a full page-by-page scan collation.

Collated word-by-word against the original scan.

Heavyweight pass: collated against the IA djvu OCR (conferencereport1900sa); removed a leaked printed-subject-list fragment ('to their ancestors -- Valuable suggestions upon this subject') from the start and a mid-body self-repeat running-head bleed ('GENERAL--CONFERENCE'). Confirmed talk boundaries, full body text, and closing 'Amen' intact. Confirmed date/session/talk_order correct. 0 QC ERRORs.
