Heavyweight pass: verified source as the Church History Library-contributed Internet Archive scan conferencereport1955sa (126th Semi-Annual Conference, held Sep 30-Oct 2, 1955; IA metadata confirms CHL call no. M204.1 A1 1880, 1897-). This file's body had been left containing only the conducting officer's introduction of the speaker (a truncation error from the original ingest) -- no part of Christiansen's actual discourse on dedication and consecration had been captured. Rebuilt page reading order from the scan's DjVu XML word-coordinate data (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py), located and restored the complete discourse (leaves n121-n123), replacing the introduction-only stub, and supplied a real descriptive title from the talk's own opening words. Confirmed session and exact date from the report's own dateline (Sunday Oct 2, Sunday Afternoon Session); corrected date_precision from month to exact and added the session field (both were previously unset). Added a page-anchored source_url (leaf n121 of conferencereport1955sa) in place of the bare item link.
