It was Eros Urides, the real Martian behind the scenes, who dictated the

contents of this book through the medium to Mr. Kennon. It was further

stated that "The medium was held in trance for short periods only, as the

medium must necessarily experience the atmosphere of Mars which is

more rarified than that of your Earth." Writes also that the medium

seemed to have some difficulty, and at first pain in breathing while in

the trance condition.

Mr. Kennon also wrote in his foreword of the original book that it was

not until January 4, 1920, it was decided to write the book in which the

Planet Mars, its people, its form of government, its Art, Industries, Philo-

sophy of life, etc. would for the first time in the history of this world be

given.

It appears that Jesus the Christed One of God visited the planets of our

Solar system, the planet Mars being one of those visited and investig-

ated. And, as a proof of this it was Jesus Christ who functioned as chair-

man or presidentat the great Peace Conference held in the vast coliseum

on the first sphere of the Heavens of our Earth. That was in the year

1912, as fully reported in "World of Tomorrow," page 98. It was at that

conference He stated that Universal Peace must be speeded up, as there

were other planets to be investigated: and that the Earth stood in the way

and was becoming a menace to neighboring planets.

Chapter 1

THE PLANET MARS AND ITS INHABITANTS

Years ago, as you measure time, I was an inhabitant of Mars, your sister

planet. My name is Eros Urides (the latter signifying "of Urid"). But a

physical name is only an incidental in one's life.

In the Spirit world we are given a name in accordance with our spir-

itual qualities and gifts and the kind of work we do.

I came into material being as the fruit of the sacred union of my par-

ents. It is not necessary to say aught concerning their social status, for on

Mars all who unfold into a material expression of the Father are equal.

Equal in rank, station, and in possession of the material fruits of earth.

After my education had been completed I was, in accordance with the

Martian system of scientifically determining one's rightful vocation, as-

signed as overseer to a section of one of the main canals supplying water

from the North Polar cap to an impounding reservoir near the city of

Urid, the place of my birth.

I was in the 36th year (Martian reckoning) of my physical life on the

planet when my transition occurred, which event was the result of my

inability to observe, one night, warning signals sent out from a central

station advising the eve of a tremendous drop in temperature. This oc-

curred in the Martian autumn, and I succumbed to the intense cold. I

was not married, so I left no immediate family except my parents, broth-

ers and sisters.

I have come to your Earth to give your inhabitants some idea of the

idealistic life lived by your more advanced brothers. I use the term ideal-

istic in a relative way only, for in God's universe the degrees of material

progress of His children are infinite in number.

In giving this information to the inhabitants of your world I have been

assisted by the spirits of many former wise children of your Earth.

The purpose of the information which I am about to impart to your

people is mainly to stimulate and hasten into material expression the

reign of God's kingdom on your Earth.

Many will reject this information, but it is God's truth nevertheless.

But on the other hand, many of God's children now functioning on your

planet will accept the statements as true, and they will be helped and en-

couraged in their hard struggle for material existence. This struggle, un-

equal as it is, is the result of darkness engendered by the loss of faith in

God.

Man's faith in his Creator, in the ages preceding your present era of

darkness, was sublime. Man's attitude towards, and his confidence in the

promises of God was as the faith of a child to its parents, whom it has al-

ways trusted. But selfishness has gained the upper hand, and is now

man's master on your Earth. To break the chains now binding man to self

is the purpose of God's holy emissaries, who have descended from high

spiritual spheres to your Earth to teach and show men the way out of

bondage. They will succeed, for Omniscience has commanded it. It is un-

der their direction that I am now contributing my little part in this

movement.

I am only too glad to have been able to give the information contained

in this book, and I also appreciate the assistance of all those on your

Earth plane who so willingly assisted; but of course we are all obeying

the Father's command.

As life is an attribute of the entire universe, the material aspect of all

God's creations are the same. That is, life on another planet must be

thought of as being no different from what experience teaches you.

All inspiration comes from the Father. Hence, the degree of a race's ad-

vancement in point of civilization is in proportion to its spiritual enfold-

ment. Therefore the material aspect of life, which includes God's evolu-

tionary and non-evolutionary creatures, is the same on every habitable

globe in limitless space.

In telling the story of Mars you must be prepared to believe that, from

a physical point of view, the Martians are just human beings, differing

little from the people of your Earth.

The same may be said concerning the activities of life enjoyed by all of

God's creatures. Martians work and have their recreations. They enjoy

the fruits of their earth just as you do the fruits of yours. They have

invented labor-saving machinery, and indulge in a multitude of industri-

al pursuits, but with this difference: their economic system is such that
