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 131-134, printed pp. 131-134; corrected source_url page anchor from n132 to n131, the talk's actual opening page) confirms this is Elder Marion G. Romney's (Council of the Twelve) address in the Fourth Day Afternoon Meeting (concluding/seventh session), Tuesday, April 6, 1954, immediately following Elder Milton R. Hunter and preceding Elder Delbert L. Stapley per President McKay's introduction. Set talk_order 3, exact date, calling, and session. This is the well-known 'make your calling and election sure' address. Several column-wrap paragraph-break fixes noted above, mostly within long scripture block quotations (D&C 64, Alma 34, 2 Nephi 31, Moroni 9, D&C 45, D.H.C.); body otherwise matches scan verbatim.
