Ingestion of a missing discourse (McKay's closing remarks, Third Day Afternoon Meeting) omitted from the earlier heavyweight pass over this conference. Rebuilt page reading order from conferencereport1961sa's DjVu XML word-coordinate data (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py); confirmed this is McKay speaking immediately after Theodore M. Burton's testimony (already ingested as 1961-10-burton-my-brothers-and-sisters-i-am-most.md) through the conference's adjournment for six months; no separate Church of the Air appendix entry exists for this conference. De-hyphenated and reflowed against the scan text. Renumbered talk_order across all existing 1961-10 files to seat this as the conference's final talk, matching the 1956-10/1957-04/1958-04/1958-10/1959-04/1959-10/1961-04/1962-04/1962-10/1969-10 precedent for reinserting missing McKay discourses.
