Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: verified source as the Church History Library-contributed Internet Archive scan conferencereport1957a (127th Annual Conference, held Apr 5-7, 1957; IA metadata confirms CHL call no. M204.1 A1 1880, 1897-). Rebuilt page reading order from the scan's DjVu XML word-coordinate data (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py) to safely resolve talk boundaries against the report's own session headers (FIRST/SECOND/THIRD DAY, MORNING/AFTERNOON MEETING, GENERAL PRIESTHOOD MEETING) and speaker headers. Confirmed session and exact date from the report's own dateline (Friday Apr 5 = First Day, Saturday Apr 6 = Second Day plus the Saturday-evening General Priesthood Meeting, Sunday Apr 7 = Third Day); corrected date_precision from month to exact and added the session field (both were previously unset). Added a page-anchored source_url (leaf n69 of conferencereport1957a) in place of the bare item link.
