Heavyweight pass: CHL catalog record for April 1954 could not be verified this session (client-rendered SPA, no browser tool access); IA scan conferencereport1954a kept as retained top-level source per docs/review.md. Page-by-page collation against the scan (leaves 90-93, printed pp. 90-93) confirms this is Elder ElRay L. Christiansen's (Assistant to the Council of the Twelve) address in the Third Day Afternoon Meeting (fifth session), Monday, April 5, 1954, immediately following Elder Bruce R. McConkie and preceding Elder Clifford E. Young per President McKay's introduction. Set talk_order 4, exact date, calling, and session. Cleaned decorative drop-cap OCR noise from the opening line; verified 'For for this cause' (1 Peter 4:6) is the correct KJV reading, not an OCR duplication. Body otherwise matches scan verbatim.
