Heavyweight pass: verified against the Internet Archive conferencereport1960a OCR (source verified, page-by-page collation done). Confirmed talk boundaries — concluding speaker of the Monday, April 4 (Third Day) Afternoon Meeting, following Elder Gordon B. Hinckley, report pages 83-86. Corrected date from placeholder 1960-04-01 to exact 1960-04-04, added session: Third Day Afternoon Meeting and talk_order: 8 (concluding speaker). Talk is a meditation on the birth and destiny of the Prophet Joseph Smith; it is untitled in the source, so title_supplied: true is retained and the filename/id left unchanged rather than guess a title. Body text checked line-by-line against the scan and matches verbatim, including the Bareham, Cowper, and Daniel 5 quotations.
