THE PLANET MARS

AND ITS INHABITANTS

BY EROS URIDES (A MARTIAN)

THE PLANET MARS AND ITS INHABITANTS

DEDICATION

To the millions of God's children on this earth enthralled in darkness,

for whom the solicitude of the Father is now in evidence, this book is

dedicated.

May it be a beacon to light the way of weary searchers after TRUTH.

One hemisphere of Mars showing the North Polar Cap and the main

Canal System covering the planet. The many thousands of small lateral

canals, radiating from the larger waterways, and which form an important

part of the general plan, have been purposely omitted from the above to

avoid confusion. The circular spots and dots are the principal reservoirs

used for impounding water for use during the long Martian summer. The

dark areas shown in the drawing are Mars ancient sea bottoms now

covered with vegetation. It will be observed that most of the canals are

double, paralleling each other at a distance of about seventy-five miles.

Centers of population are not shown for the reason that space is not

available on so small a drawing. The City of Urid is situated adjacent to

the reservoir in the center of drawing, just north of the equator.

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,

Philosophy 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 investigated.

And, as a proof of this it was Jesus Christ who functioned as chairman or

THE PLANET MARS AND ITS INHABITANTS

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.

THE PLANET MARS AND ITS INHABITANTS

CHAPTER I.

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

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

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

parents. 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,

assigned 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

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

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

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

idealistic 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

THE PLANET MARS AND ITS INHABITANTS

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

encouraged in their hard struggle for material existence.This struggle,

unequal 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

always 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

under 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

advancement in point of civilization is in proportion to its spiritual

enfoldment. Therefore the material aspect of life, which includes God's

evolutionary 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

THE PLANET MARS AND ITS INHABITANTS

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

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

that the life of the Martian is not the struggle for existence you have

created on your Earth. On the contrary it is a pleasurable life in which

work is as much enjoyed as is recreation. This condition is due to two

causes. First, Mars is much farther advanced as a world in its

evolutionary career. Second, the Spiritual enfoldment of its inhabitants is

proportionately advanced.

As the Divine Plan is universal in its scope the physical characteristics

of Mars, compared to your Earth are, in a general way, the same, with the

exceptions shown later in this book.

The inhabitants of Mars enjoy a blue sky, mountains, hills, rocks and

dells, clouds, beautiful sunsets, and in fact most of the physical

phenomena witnessed by the dwellers of your Earth.

The Martians live and have their being just as your people do, but they

are surrounded by a different spiritual and a modified physical

environment. They take pleasure in music, art and the study of physical

science, but with this difference: the spiritual growth and enfoldment of

the individual is considered as most important, and all material

advancement as only an aid to ultimate ends.

With main points in view the reader can now readily comprehend the

real Martian character, although it may be a disappointment to some who

have imagined the inhabitants of Mars as physically different from

themselves; or perhaps, as semi-spiritual entities, who have possibly been

transplanted from other worlds to undergo a sort of probationary life amid

a Paradise of beautiful surroundings and things.

CHAPTER II.

POPULATION CENTERS, TEMPERATURE, CLIMATE

Although Mars is little more than half as large as your Earth, its

diameter being 4,200 miles, it contains a larger area of habitable land than

the latter, its surface area being approximately 212,000,000 square miles

as against 51,000,000 miles for your Earth. Hence our globe supports a

larger population about 13,160,000,000 people. Your population is in the

neighborhood of 1,645,000,000. Your land area is 161,000,000 square

miles less than the land area of Mars. This is for the reason that your

oceans occupy a vast surface of your Earth, and Mars has no oceans, as

these dried up ages ago. Consequently almost the entire surface of our

planet (with exception of some small areas covered with swamps,

remnants of ancient seas and oceans, and portions of the extreme

Northerly and Southerly Polar caps) is utilized by the Martian inhabitants.

Our planet is gridironed with canals, many hundreds of the main ones

being observable through your telescopes, and the art of intensive farming

is practised by us to a degree of perfection never dreamed of by the

dwellers of your Earth.

Our winters, even in the Equatorial regions are severe, the

temperatures at times descending to as low as 80 degrees below zero.

However, our springs, summers, and autumns are mild and nearly twice as

long as your seasons, for the Martian year is 687 days long. We grow

and mature many crops of necessary cereals, fruits and vegetables during

the spring and summer months, so that want is never felt by our happy

people.

Our method of irrigation is somewhat different from that practised in

the arid portions of your Earth. We do not, except in a few instances,

flood our lands as you do. Owing to the fact that our atmosphere is much

lighter than yours, the normal air pressure being only about 8 pounds to

the square inch as against 15 pounds on your Earth, evaporation is very

rapid, and the dewfall, as a consequence of much moisture being in the air,

THE PLANET MARS AND ITS INHABITANTS

is very great.

This heavy humidity also tends to prevent radiation of heat, and the

temperature at night does not drop exceedingly low, although frost is not

uncommon even in summer. As our vegetation is acclimated and adapted

to our environment no damage is done to growing crops by reason of these

frosts.

The Martians experience no difficulty in living in a rarified

atmosphere. Neither have they abnormally developed lungs. God has

made ample provision for the comfort of His creatures throughout all of

His infinite creations, and we of Mars are not excepted from this Fatherly

care and love.

Should an inhabitant of your Earth be suddenly transported to Mars he

could live but a few minutes, for the reason that his lungs could not

assimilate enough oxygen from our light atmosphere.

Economy is a science with us. Nothing is wasted. Every possible

square inch of ground produces food for man or beast. Even the north

and south Arctic regions, after their seasonal thaws blossom forth with

vegetal growth, as astronomers on your Earth have observed. These

regions produce their quota of food by being utilized as pasturage for our

cattle. Immense amounts of forage are also gathered for the long Martian

winters, when a greater portion of either the north or south hemisphere is

covered with a mantle of snow.

The equatorial regions are always pleasant. No severe wind storms

are experienced on Mars; neither do we have lightning or other magnetic

disturbances such as you experience.

As a corollary to the tranquility of our inhabitants living in peace,

Love and harmony, and the truths of God expressed in our everyday living,

the climate is equable, the atmosphere clear and beautiful, the sky serene

and sapphire-blue: the severest winds but gentle zephyrs wafted towards

the equator from the more remote portions of our globe. Cloudy skies

are rare and rainstorms few.

There is no lack of God's gifts on Mars. As intensive farming is a

necessity on our planet, plant food or fertilizing elements are plentiful.

THE PLANET MARS AND ITS INHABITANTS

One of the large white circular spots observed by your astronomers,

located in a region on Mars named by them Elysium, and which has been

a puzzle to all observers, is an immense deposit of fertilizing chemicals.

An immense well is located in this particular spot which gushes forth a

never-ending saline solution, highly impregnated with sodium nitrate,

potash and other salts. The country for many miles around is covered

with a white precipitate which has been carried by the moist air and

deposited on the Martian earth. These chemical compounds are refined

and used to replenish the soil with plant food.

There are 153,000 centers of population on Mars, but these centers are

not congested cities similar to those on your Earth. Every individual has

plenty of room to thrive and develop the best within him.

Our cities are not crowded and our buildings are beautiful in their

simplicity: large and roomy, with an abundance of sunlight and ample

ventilation. White marble and metals are employed for building

purposes.

The inhabitants congregate in centers and, owing to our more perfect

methods of transportation, go forth daily to their tasks in field or factory,

to return at the end of their allotted period to home and fireside.

CHAPTER III.

THE MARTIAN CANAL SYSTEM

The Canal system on Mars is comparatively new. The idea of

constructing a planetary Canal system had its incipiency at the time of

Christ's visit to our planet. The Master warned the people that they must

make provision for their future water supply. At that time (10,000 years

ago) the water supply was becoming noticeably scarcer as time went on.

It was nearly 3,000 years after the Master's mission to Mars had been

concluded that actual construction of the Planetary Canal system was

undertaken; and during the intervening 7,000 years and up to the present

time, construction on the public waterways has continued.

At the present day the system is most complete, but constant work is

required to keep the canals in working order. In addition to the gigantic

Canal system, provision had to be made for suitable reservoirs to impound

the water after the seasonal thaws at the poles. To this end immense

reservoirs were constructed at most canal intersections. In some

instances the reservoirs are established between parallel canals; but in

every case smaller canals, or laterals, always intersect at these points.

Many of the canals on Mars are double, as they appear to your

astronomers. These double waterways parallel each other at a distance of

about 75 miles. The reason for this is that as the Martian population is

absolutely dependent upon the Polar waters to irrigate their crops, any

accident to a canal, such as a land- slide stopping the regular flow of water

or the breaking of a lock or gate, would mean a very serious calamity to a

great number of people. And for that reason, soon after the main canals

were constructed, second and parallel waterways were made for the

purpose of guaranteeing an uninterrupted flow of water from the Poles to

the Equatorial regions. The result of this was that on many occasions the

foresight of the Martian engineers who had the water supply of the planet

in charge, saved immense areas from drought.

The rainfall on Mars is almost nil and the immense population (eight
