a figure appeared before him and
told him that he was in great danger;
that the cup which he found at BOr-
uighera was the Cup of the Lord,
used at the Last Supper; that when
his father died he must take it to the
'wOmen's quarter" at glastonbury;
that subsequently a woman would
arise and prophecy; and that the cup
would be brought forth within ten
years, and would be a means of mold
ing Christian thought"
In the following year, 1897, his
father, when dying, sent the cup y
messenger to DR.. GOodchild, who was
abroad. Dr. Goodchild returned with
it to England, went to Glastonbury,
discovered the ancient ''wOmen's
quarter and, on the instructions of
"clairaudiant voices deposited the
cup in the shallow well or spring.
In 1900 DR.. Goodchild went to the
we'll again, but found that it had APP
parently been cleared. he could not
find the cup, and concluded that it
had been taken away.
He visited the well again, general
ly once a year, but neither saw nor
heard any more of the cup until it
was discovered by Mr.. Tudor Poles
sister.
DR.. Goodchild states most emphati-
cally that the only person to whom
he ever mentioned the placing of the
cup in the well was the late Mr.. VIII
liam Sharp, whose death in 1905 led
to the discovery by his friends that
he was Fiona Macleod" the author
of several remarkable mystical books.
The Seer's Trance.
Mr.. Tudor Pole told an equally as
tonishing story concerning his expe-
rience with the cup in London. where
he brought it in December last to
submit to the authorities of the Brit
ish and South KensingtOn museums.
After visiting the museums he went
TO a reception. where there was a
Celtic seer" an Irish "cIairvoyante. "
This lady, on seeing Mr.. Tudor Pole,
said: You are connected with a
very holy relic" At that moment Mr..
Tudor Pole was holding the vessel,
wrapped in a silk handkerchief, in
his hand. The room was not well
lighted The woman lightly touched
the relic, and, he says. Immediately
the room was filed with a strange
radiance. Then, according 10 Mr.

I Pole, an amazing thing happened.
The woman went into a trance, and
described infinitely the Last Supper
and the CrucifXion. At q later stage
in the trance she described a very
large church, in the center of the
altar of which, she said. was at one
time placed this sacred relic. Then
she described the scene at Brides
Hill.
Mr.. Tudor POLE declares that ON
several occasions he and his friends
have seen a vision of a woman no.
ing the cup in her Outstretched
hands, which DR.. Goodchild was told
about in his Paris trance
So far none of the experts who
have seen the strange cup have been
able to say when or where it was
made. There is nothing to compare
it with. The earliest date assigned
to it is the time of the Phoenlcians-
$500 years ago. The latest date is
thirty years ago, when some cum
ming Venetian forgers of antiquities
were at work. But it is said to be
acknowledged that it belongs to a
class of ware of which there is no
other known example, and that if it
were a forgery it must have been
copied from something in existence.
Finders Theory.
Mr.. Pole suggests the theory that
when the traditional Glastonbury cup
disappeared from history ii may
have been sent in charge of monk
to Rome for safety, that the monk
may have died at Bordighera on his
way. and that the cup may have re-
manned hidden at Bordighera until
some time before DR. Goodchild found
it there. There is, he admits, no
proof as yet that anything of the kind
happened. But he is quite convinced
that the vessel IS d holy relic of some
kind
The Express, of course, gives this
astonishing story On the statements
made by Mr.. Tudor Pole and DR.
Goodchild to the various scientists
who have been consulted. Whatever
the cup may be, the story has sue
ceeded in stirring the greatest inter
est in the minds of men and women
of distinction.

A Disclosing Vision.
Mr. Tudor Pole told the gathering
that at the beginning of the year 1902
he received an impression" that near
Glastonbury Abbey a relic of a holy
nature lay buried. AS time passed
this mental impression grew strong
err. 1t REQUIRED again and again, ~
day and by night. In September last
the sensation reached a climax.
He said that while he was sitting in
his office, in the midst of the most
prOSaic surroundings, he experienced
what can only be described as a
waking dream" He saw, either in a
dream" or so clearly with his minds
eye that it seemed vision" spot
which he remembered well-a small
rivulet and a pond on some farm land
known as Brides Hill, about half a
mile from Glastonbury Abbey. In the
shallow well, or spring, which is the
source of the rivulet, he saw buried
a small vesSel-the one before the
eye of his audience.
The Discovery.
Being unable to spare time from his
business to go to Glastonbury, Mr..
Tudor Pole sent his sister and two
other ladies, one of whom is a clair
voyante," to the spot. Turning over
the mud in the we'll the ladies found.
among other things, the mysterious
glass vessel
1t was covered with a broken slab
of stone, which had apparently protect
ed it from Jury. 1t was tnen, as
now, in a state of perfect preserva-
ton.
ChurchIy Insignia.
Mr.. Poles sister and the other la
dies were so deeply impressed with
the discovery of the glass vessel that
they forebore to take it away. Hav-
ing carefully washed it they replaced
itin the well, and returned to Bristol,
with the other objects which they
unearthed, which included a small
cross and gold chain and a carbuncle
jewel.
At this time Mr.. Tudor Pole was
slightly acquainted with DR.. Good
child, although both state that they
had met only once at a friends house
and had never had private conversa-
ton or spoken at all about Glaston-
bury.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1907-08-25

Knowing DR.. GoOdchild's reputation
as an antiquary, Mr.. Tudor Poles
sister and the other two ladies went
to Bath to show him the cross and
jewel. He came to the conclusion
that they were articles which few
years before -ad been placed in the
we'll, which is apparently mystical
shrine known to a small body of re-
lgiOus persons
The ladies then described to DR..
Goodchild the glass cup, which they
had also found. and Dr. GOOdchild at
once recognized it as one which he
himself had placed in the well in the
year 1898, or eight years be-ore.
DR.. Goodchild then invited Mr..
Tudor Pole over to Bath TO see him,
and told him the circumstances in
which he placed the vessel in the
well at Glastonbury
These circumstances were Of kind
which many persons will probably re-
gard as incredible.
An Amazing Narrative.

count of them, which is now in the
possession of Sir William Crookes,

present strange story as far as pos

For many years Dr. Goodchild has
spent part of the year at BordiShera,
on the Italian Riviera In 1885,
twenty-five years ago, while he was
at Bordighera. a friend of his told
him of a curious glass vessel which
was in the litue shop OF local tailor.
DR.. Goodchild went and saw il, was
surprised to find that it was appar-
emily a rarity, and bought it for 6
pounds. He believed at the time that
it was forgery. although he does not
claim to be a specialist in glass.
When he returned TO England he
showed it to lis father. who took pos
session of it. Some time later DR..
Goodchild had an astonishing expert

The prohibition, so far from being
an infringement of personal liberty, is
the guardian and friend of genuine
freedom, bringing, as it does, hber-
alton for the enslaved and protection
