Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Ingestion of a missing discourse (McKay's opening address of the Third Day Morning Meeting, on the Church's complete organization as a light to the world) omitted from the earlier heavyweight pass over this conference. Rebuilt page reading order from conferencereport1963a's DjVu XML word-coordinate data (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py); confirmed this is McKay speaking as the first address of the session, immediately before Elder Nathan Eldon Tanner (already ingested as 1963-04-tanner-we-have-just-listened-to-a.md). De-hyphenated and reflowed against the scan text. Renumbered talk_order across all existing 1963-04 files to seat this address as the first talk of the Third Day Morning Meeting, matching the 1956-10/1957-04/1958-04/1958-10/1959-04/1959-10/1961-04/1961-10/1962-04/1962-10/1969-10 precedent for reinserting missing McKay discourses.
