Ingestion of a missing discourse (McKay's remarks on self-mastery and reverence, General Priesthood Meeting) omitted from the earlier heavyweight pass over this conference. Rebuilt page reading order from conferencereport1958sa's DjVu XML word-coordinate data (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py); confirmed this is McKay speaking immediately after Stephen L Richards's priesthood address (already ingested as 1958-10-richards-my-dear-brethren-in-some-respects-i.md) and before further conducting/announcement remarks (bishop attendance figures, a note about bishop tenure, meeting logistics — excluded as non-discourse per docs/ingestion.md). Notably, this conference's First Day Morning Meeting opened with Stephen L Richards rather than McKay, so no opening-address discourse from McKay exists to ingest here. De-hyphenated and reflowed against the scan text. Renumbered talk_order across all existing 1958-10 files to seat this address right after the existing Richards priesthood address, matching the 1956-10/1957-04/1958-04/1962-04/1962-10/1969-10 precedent for reinserting missing McKay discourses.
