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 94-98, printed pp. 94-98) confirms Elder Spencer W. Kimball (Council of the Twelve), Fourth Day (Wednesday, April 6, 1955) morning session, opening with a fresh 'Fourth Day' header, preceding Elder S. Dilworth Young. 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 SPENC / R W. KIMBALL' (id: 1955-04-spenc-the-church-he-maintained-but-his-criticism, now deleted — same discourse, not a separate talk). 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 and session.
