Good News for Expo ‘74

This friendly little folder contained sixteen different slips of paper with "Good News for Expo 74," courtesy of the American Bible Society. (The name is a nod to the ABS's well-known translation, the Good News Bible.)

The interior materials do not have any specific Expo branding, and may not have been produced solely for this event. Each enclosed flyer pairs a brief scriptural selection with a photograph of natural wonder, mainly national parks. The folder features a painting of an aerial view of the fair and incorporates the Expo 74 logo. This painting is the same as is used in official Expo publications like the guidebook, suggesting that the creators of this folder may have had some affiliation with the fair planners.

"Good News For Expo 74" was obtained as part of a batch purchase from eBay. The attendee who originally collected the materials in this batch appears to have visited several religious exhibits while at the fair. I have not discovered yet whether this specific publication was distributed through a dedicated kiosk/stand/pavilion or was part of a larger display.
