Heavyweight pass: speaker, date, page range (JD 3:299-307), and opening sentence confirmed verbatim against [redacted legacy mirror] Corrected a stale fidelity_notes claim that only a summary/excerpts were reproduced — the body already contains the full text (confirmed complete against the raw HTML of the weebly witness, including the ending 'return heavily laden with sheaves, which is my earnest prayer, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.'). No text changes needed; talk boundaries clean.
