A small remnant, however,
proved incurable, and was confined in asylums and denied marriage.
Thus there was no progeny to inherit their atavistic tendencies.
As the years went by, Goliah dropped out of the running of the world.
There was nothing for him to run. The world was running itself, and
doing it smoothly and beautifully. In 1937, Goliah made his long-
promised present of Energon to the world. He himself had devised a
thousand ways in which the little giant should do the work of the
world--all of which he made public at the same time. But instantly
the colleges of invention seized upon Energon and utilized it in a
hundred thousand additional ways. In fact, as Goliah confessed in
his letter of March 1938, the colleges of invention cleared up
several puzzling features of Energon that had baffled him during the
preceding years. With the introduction of the use of Energon the
two-hour work-day was cut down almost to nothing. As Goliah had
predicted, work indeed became play. And, so tremendous was man's
productive capacity, due to Energon and the rational social
utilization of it, that the humblest citizen enjoyed leisure and time
and opportunity for an immensely greater abundance of living than had
the most favoured under the old anarchistic system.
