Many a man grows so accustomed to his evil environment that he fails to
realize how he is being spiritually ruined.
In a certain laboratory experiment a live frog was placed in
water heated at the rate of .0036 of a degree Fahrenheit per
second. The frog never moved or showed any sign of distress, but
was found at the end of two hours and a half to be dead. The
explanation was that at any point of time the temperature of the
water showed such little contrast with that of a moment before
that the attention of the frog was never attracted by it. It was
boiled to death without noticing it.
