Heavyweight pass: CHL catalog record for April 1955 could not be verified this session (client-rendered SPA, Chrome extension unreachable); IA scan conferencereport1955a kept as retained top-level source per docs/review.md. Page-by-page collation against the scan (leaves 28-30, printed pp. 28-30) confirms Elder Elray L. Christiansen (Assistant to the Council of the Twelve), Second Day (Sunday, April 3, 1955) morning session, following President David O. McKay's opening address and preceding Elder Marion G. Romney. The prior ingestion was severely truncated (cut off after the second paragraph, roughly one-eighth of the full discourse); restored the full text verbatim from the scan through the closing 'Amen.' Fixed an OCR-garbled drop-cap opening ('JIfter listening... /I McKay's timely and helpful mes- JLlsage' to 'After listening to President David O. McKay's timely and helpful message'). Set exact date, calling, session, and talk_order.
