Ingestion of a missing discourse (McKay's closing remarks on carrying the conference's messages home to family life, Third Day Afternoon 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 Mark E. Petersen's testimony (already ingested as 1963-10-petersen-president-mckay-is-always-so-gracious-and.md) through the conference's adjournment for six months. The source text is laid out in two columns on leaf 122 (per the DjVu word-coordinate data); reconstructed the correct single-column reading order by hand where the reading-order script's automatic column split left a short residual fragment ('We are nearing the end of a great conference, as usual, the best ever.' / 'I should just like to say a word now about our responsibility to carry these') that needed manual re-joining. De-hyphenated and reflowed against the scan text. Renumbered talk_order within this session to seat this address as the sixth (last) 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.
