Title: Fair crowds stream by Unisphere.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-30930 FAIR CROWDS STREAM BY UNISPHERE NEW YORK -- A balmy spring day brings large crowds to the newly-opened New York World’s Fair, where pavilions and exhibits over 646-acre expanse carry out the general theme of the exposition: “Peace through Understanding.” The towering Unisphere, standing over fountains and a broad pool, symbolizes today’s “shrinking world in an expanding universe.” In addition to hundreds of business, industrial and governmental structures, the Fair features eight different religious pavilions.

Title: Bible translation described in fair pavilion.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-30929 BIBLE TRANSLATION DESCRIBED IN FAIR PAVILION NEW YORK -- One of the smallest, but most unusual, buildings at the New York World’s Fair is the “Pavilion of 2,000 Tribes.” Built by the Wycliffe Bible Translators to represent a native hut, the pavilion’s name represents the number of tribes as yet without a written language. In addition to an exhibit area describing translation technique and the work of the Wycliffe organization, fairgoers -- for 50-cent admission fee -- can view large murals in a display room which tell the story of Christian linguistic work among headhunters in the Peruvian jungles.

Title: World's Fair Christian exhibits.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-29721 WORLD’S FAIR CHRISTIAN EXHIBITS NEW YORK -- Spires, towers, crosses, famous religious art objects, and light beams reaching skyward will project the Christian message to the 70 million people expected to visit the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair. Religious pavilions offering a wide variety of features will cover more than seven acres in the heart of the fair’s International and Industrial areas, space which has been provided rent-free. Architect’s rendering of the various pavilions are shown above. The Vatican Pavilion (top left) will be on an oval plot, surmounted by a lantern and cross and housing a 350-seat chapel. Also in the Roman Catholic pavilion will be the famed sculpture, “Pieta,” (center) created by Michelangelo in 1499, which the late Pope John XXIII agreed to send to the fair for display. The Protestant Center (top right) will be a united Christian display proclaiming the theme, “Jesus Christ, the Light of the World,” with an exhibit pavilion behind a Court of Protestant Pioneers, pillars dedicated to Christian leaders surrounding an elevated, illuminated cross. The center is sponsored by the Protestant Council of the City of New York, with several denominations participating. The main spire of the pavilion of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) (center left) will reach upward 127 feet and be crowned by a statue of the Angel Moroni. The structure is a replica of the famed Salt Lake City Temple. The Billy Graham Pavilion (center right) will be octagonal in shape and will incorporate a 500-seat theater, 150-seat chapel, counseling rooms, a lounge and offices. The Christian Science Pavilion (bottom left) will rise 35 feet in the shape of a seven-pointed star and will be topped by a diamond-shaped “sky dome” which will throw a shaft of light into the sky. The building will be surrounded by 14 illuminated fountains and an aluminum and glass reading room will be nearby. Films produced by the Moody Institute of Science, showing the harmony between science and religion, will be shown in the Sermons from Science Pavilion (bottom right), an exhibit sponsored by the Christian Life Convention of New York City. In the pavilion’s 500-seat circular theater, film narration and demonstrations will be in six languages, with translations available through earphones.
