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 135-140, printed pp. 135-140) confirms this is Elder Delbert L. Stapley's (Council of the Twelve) address closing the Fourth Day Afternoon Meeting (concluding/seventh session) and the entire 124th Annual Conference, Tuesday, April 6, 1954, immediately following Elder Marion G. Romney and the last speaker of the conference per President McKay's introduction. Set talk_order 4, exact date, calling, and session. Several column-wrap paragraph-break fixes and two OCR fixes noted above, mostly within long scripture block quotations (D&C 33, 3 Nephi 27, 2 Nephi 31, Mosiah 2, D&C 89, Alma 32, Moses 7, 4 Nephi, D&C 105, D&C 42); body otherwise matches scan verbatim.
