Heavyweight pass: corrected the placeholder title and trailing period on the speaker name, added calling_at_time (Presiding Patriarch of the Church, per the sustaining list later in this same file), and confirmed the source_url leaf.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: reconstructed reading order from the conferencereport1911sa DjVu XML and confirmed the source_url leaf (n127). Body collated word-for-word against the OCR with no missing text. Confirmed boundaries clean: begins with Smith's own remarks (following Young's talk) and ends at his own Amen, followed directly in the source by the 'AUTHORITIES SUSTAINED' business (sustaining vote) that closes this Closing Session -- kept together as printed, matching how the source itself runs the sustaining vote directly under this talk without a separate heading break.
