The answer to the question from page 419 needs the same date change. Without this edit to page 420, the Executive Trustee's new Youthful Worthies from 1878-81 are not put on the reserved list.

We cannot suppose that the start of the reserved list was delayed for 3 1/2 years for these new consecrators, because Bro. Johnson wrote, "for whom there were no crowns available at the time of their consecration;" (using a semicolon at the end). The semicolon separates this main clause with the one that immediately follows it. While these clauses are closely related to each other, they could stand on their own as sentences. It means that the reserved list was to begin when there were consecrators and no crowns available. By changing the date to 1878, we make that possible for the Executive Trustee.
