Isaiah 52:8 - attribution JD 25:13a

[Gregorio Billikopf]

Dear Friend's:

First of all, THANKS! This app is one of the most important and I use it daily. 

Under Isaiah 52:8, we see Missionary Labors Reviewed, by John Q Cannon. The citation for JD 25:13a should instead read President John Taylor. There are multiple speakers in that talk. 

Oh, by the way, I figured out my own question about the JD numbers I asked about in October. 

Finally, is this the address you want me to use or have a personal E-mail that does not go to the whole group. 

Best wishes from Chile,

Gregorio

Dear LDS-SCI Friends,

I think I asked this question a few years ago, but I don't remember the answer. Many of the Journal of Discourses citations seem off, from the ones mentioned in my iPhone, in terms of JD numbers. Let me give an example. When I open Isaiah 49:16, Orson Pratt's Book of Mormon talk is labeled as: JD 21:177b. As soon as I click on it, on the top of the page I see JD 21:168. Can you please help me to understand how to properly read such references? Is 168 intended to be the beginning of the address, while 177b, the exact notation of the reference I have found to Isaiah 49:16?

Best wishes from Chile,

Gregorio

Gregorio,

There are a few exceptions in the database like this, where there are multiple speakers in a single "discourse".  Sometimes a speaker would invite someone else to the podium.  Our decision was for simplicity of data modeling to list all the citations under the first speaker.  The exceptions are few enough that it seems reasonable.  It's kind of like how you have different prophets' words in the book of 2 Nephi, for example.  The name Nephi is still associated with the book, even if it's Lehi or Jacob (or Isaiah).

Best,

- Steve
