Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: reconstructed true reading order from the conferencereport1907a DjVu XML word coordinates (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py). Confirmed 'ELDER JOSEPH A. M'RAE.' correctly marks the start of McRae's own address (the first talk of the Sunday Afternoon Overflow Session), preceded by the session's genuine small opening record (presiding officer, choir note), kept inline. Fixed OCR letter errors ('Temnle'->'Temple', a stray asterisk and dash bleed 'was *being read...reflect on-'->'was being read...reflect on', 'yea'rs'->'years', '1 thought'->'I thought', 'ooportunity'->'opportunity', 'anv'->'any', 'indi vidual'->'individual', 'hell responsible'->'held responsible', 'keen His'->'keep His'). Confirmed boundaries: begins with the session's opening record, ends at McRae's own 'Amen.' with no trailing bleed. source_url already correctly anchored to leaf 84.
