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 102-107, printed pp. 102-107) confirms Elder Milton R. Hunter (First Council of the Seventy), Fourth Day (Wednesday, April 6, 1955) morning session, concluding speaker (per President McKay's introduction), following Elder George Q. Morris. Restored the full discourse verbatim from the scan through the closing 'Amen,' merging in the duplicate continuation file previously mis-split under the running-head OCR fragment 'ELDER MILTC / V R. HUNTER' (id: 1955-04-miltc-so-he-wrote-his-manuscript-to-replace, now deleted — same discourse, not a separate talk). Preserved the printed footnote markers and citations inline as numbered notes at first mention; several footnote texts (citing Ancient America and the Book of Mormon, the Popol Vuh, Mormon 7 and Moroni 1) appear in the scan as bottom-of-page notes and are folded into the body near their reference point rather than reproduced as a separate apparatus, consistent with how other Conference Report discourses in this vault render footnoted quotations. talk_order left unset: the exact position of this discourse relative to any earlier Fourth Day morning speakers could not be confirmed from the available scan excerpts this session. Set exact date, calling, and session.
