Heavyweight pass: this talk was entirely missing from the vault's original ingest -- the very first address of the conference (Joseph F. Smith's printed 'OPENING ADDRESS.') had no file at all; George Albert Smith's talk (talk_order 1), which opens by referring to 'the splendid discourse delivered by President Smith', was the only trace of it. Recovered verbatim from conferencereport1914a leaves 2-11 and added as a new file (talk_order 0, since renumbering the rest of the conference is out of scope for this pass). Restored the printed heading as the real title (title_supplied: false); the printed subject-synopsis block under that heading was excluded from the body per convention. Fixed unambiguous OCR letter-errors (e.g. 'df the' -> 'of the', 'rew wr'ls' -> 'new wards', '3'ear'/'vear' -> 'year', 'derks' -> 'clerks', 'falacious' kept as printed as it may reflect a period spelling variant of an already-quoted synopsis word, not corrected in body). Confirmed opening and closing 'Amen' intact. 0 QC ERRORs.
