Ingestion of a missing discourse (McKay's opening address of the conference, on the two great forces of hate and love, Satan's assault on free agency, and the threats posed to individual freedom by international communism, First Day Morning Meeting) omitted from the earlier heavyweight pass over this conference. Rebuilt page reading order from conferencereport1965sa's DjVu XML word-coordinate data (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py); confirmed this is the conference's opening discourse, delivered before Elder Delbert L. Stapley's address (already ingested as 1965-10-stapley-brothers-and-sisters-we-are-tremendously-blessed.md, whose own opening lines reference 'the masterful sermon he gave us this morning'), and distinguished a misOCR'd running-head artifact of 'ELDER DELBERT L. STAPLEY' bleeding onto leaf 11 (mid-sentence, no talk boundary) from Stapley's actual talk heading which appears later on leaf 12. De-hyphenated and reflowed against the scan text. Renumbered talk_order within this session to seat this address first, shifting the existing Stapley/Dyer/Romney talks to talk_order 2/3/4, matching the session/talk_order schema already in use across this conference's other files, and the 1956-10/1957-04/1958-04/1958-10/1959-04/1959-10/1961-04/1961-10/1962-04/1962-10/1963-04/1963-10/1964-04/1965-04 precedent for reinserting missing McKay discourses generally.
