Ingestion of a missing discourse (McKay's closing remarks on self-control and carnal-mindedness, General Priesthood Meeting) omitted from the earlier heavyweight pass over this conference. Rebuilt page reading order from conferencereport1963sa's DjVu XML word-coordinate data (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py); confirmed this is McKay speaking immediately after President Hugh B. Brown's priesthood address (already ingested as 1963-10-brown-like-elder-tanner-i-have-thoroughly-appreciated.md) through the meeting's adjournment. Note: the existing Brown file's tail has OCR running-head bleed ('PRESIDENT DAVID O. McKAY ... Christ Amen' interleaved mid-sentence from the two-column leaf-89 layout) that was not fully cleaned during that file's own ingestion; flagging for a follow-up cleanup pass rather than editing it in this McKay-focused pass. De-hyphenated and reflowed against the scan text. Renumbered talk_order within this session to seat this address as the fourth (last) priesthood-meeting talk, matching the session/talk_order/witnesses schema already in use across this conference's other files, and the 1956-10/1957-04/1958-04/1958-10/1959-04/1959-10/1961-04/1961-10/1962-04/1962-10/1963-04/1969-10 precedent for reinserting missing McKay discourses generally.
