Boiling Frogs
There is an apocrophal story about boiling a frog. Apparently if you put a frog in water and gently boil the water the frog will not jump out because it is insensitive to small changes in its environment. In the same way Freemasonry has become insensitive to subtle changes in its environment. In my Lodge, for example, there has been a steady decline in membership since the turn of the last century; a decline that most brethren seem to accept with a resigned sigh.
