The holy grail, it may be re- | mobered, was the vessel from which Christ drank at.the first communion with His disciples. The man - Into whose possession it has come is cer- tain it is the holy grail. For seven years he has'studied it with an ar- chaeologist of high standing, Dr. Gustavus A Eisen. Though Dr. Eisen has not come out with the positive statement that the cup 18 the holy grail and refers to it only as the “great chalice of Antioch,” he i is continuing his research Dr. William Henry Goodyear.of the Brooklyn Museum and Dr. Kdward ‘Robinson of the Metropolitan Museum lof Art in New York are numbered among other authorities who have ex- amined the cup, and they share the bellef concerning its genuineness. This chalice has had a most inter- esting histery, according to Dr. Eiser. ! For it has-survived an earthquake, {been stolen and passed over stormy | seas. The cup was found In 1910 by Arabs while digging a well in Antioch, Byria, being located in a deep under- ground chamber! Research indicates that the excavation took place on the site of a great Christian cathedral es- tablished by Emperor Coustantine, after he had transferred the capital of the Roman empire to Byzantium, as the seat of the church in the east. In 526 A.D. the great edifice, with the i city, was razed by an earthquake. Soon after the finding of the cup it was stolen by & band of Arabs, ac- cording to Dr. Eisen. From them it was purchased by Constantine Kou- chakji and taken home with him to Paris. Following the outbreak of the war, when the Germans were march- ing on the French capital, it ¢ the hold of a liner through stormy seas (nfested by submarines to the shores -of America, where Fahint Kouchakji, nephew of the cup's pur- chaser, took charge of it. L According to Dr. Eisen, who ha made a scientific study of the go since 1915 It measures about e inches in height and is of ample size | to have allowed Christ and His tweive apostles to partake from it.

It is the opinion of Dr. Elsen that these figures represent Christ and ten of Hia aposties, modeled by a sculptor who he thinks, must certainly have see: the men. If this is true, then thes are the only known portraits of Jesu and His apostics on earth. Twice is Christ fashioned on the chalice on opposite sid One figure re veals Him gs a grown rave; the other as a or fifteen, holding the scroll of the law. Study.of these figures has convinced the archaeologist that this the actual appearance of Chr blime in their beauty. the mature Christ, whe is ! clothed in a flowing robs and en- throned, is a star, presumably tbat of Bethlehem, a descandin dove.

The silver of the cup Is brittle and it appears to have been partly crushed in an accident. Dr. Elsen states that the outer shell of the chalico was made in the latter half of the first century, probably between 57 and 87 ; A.D.
