Heavyweight pass: authoritative IA Conference Report source verified (conferencereport1906sa); page-by-page collation against the scan/OCR witness confirmed speaker, supplied title, exact date, session, and talk order. Corrected numerous OCR misreads and stray punctuation artifacts (e.g. "'^old"->hold, "G.ermany"->Germany, "sacrcificed"->sacrificed, "wThereabouts"->whereabouts, "P>ook"->Book, "vpu"->you, "bave"->have, "ho1\" walk"->how to walk, "Lord Mess you"->Lord bless you) verbatim against the witness. One heavily garbled span ("do j \) wrong") restored as "do no wrong" per the surrounding sentence and grammar, the only sensible reading; noted here as a judgment-call restoration rather than a certain OCR misread. Removed a trailing session-closing line ("The choir sang the anthem...") that is not part of the address.
