Ingestion of a missing discourse (McKay's opening address, on the testimony of the resurrection, First Day Morning Meeting) omitted from the earlier heavyweight pass over this conference. Rebuilt page reading order from conferencereport1959sa's DjVu XML word-coordinate data (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py); confirmed this is a genuine discourse (not a running head) by tracing every 'PRESIDENT DAVID O. McKAY' occurrence across the volume. De-hyphenated and reflowed against the scan text; talk boundaries verified against the surrounding running heads and session dateline (Friday Oct 9 = First Day Morning Meeting). Renumbered talk_order across all existing 1959-10 files to seat this address as the conference's first talk, matching the 1956-10/1957-04/1958-04/1958-10/1959-04/1962-04/1962-10/1969-10 precedent for reinserting missing McKay discourses.
