Collation history

Proofread against the source text.

Proofread against the Internet Archive OCR witness (conferencereport1960a); fixed running-header/page-number artifacts, confirmed session/date/talk boundaries and correct calling (Second Counselor, not First Counselor).

Collated word-by-word against the original scan.

Heavyweight pass: source URL verified against Internet Archive scan (conferencereport1960a, printed pages 15-19, IA leaf n16); page-by-page collation confirms clean boundaries (no bleed from McKay's introduction or Clark's following talk); confirmed speaker, calling (Second Counselor in the First Presidency, corrected from prior draft's 'First Presidency'), session (General Priesthood Meeting, Saturday evening, April 2, 1960), and exact date. Body text matches OCR verbatim aside from standard artifact cleanup. This is a distinct discourse from the other 1960-04 Moyle talk (delivered Monday, April 4 morning, Third Session) — confirmed via OCR context (differing content, differing 'yesterday' references, differing page ranges).
