The metaphor he chose is remarkable, because the church once had a big influence, very much like a thermostat, which regulates air temperatures by supplying a feedback. A thermometer measures shows temperature, but doe not take action. Martin Luther King Jr. used this metaphor to hint that the church should not be simply sitting around watching but should take action on trying to help people.
