"I always think these traditional stories retain a lot of charm," said another of the rabbits, "especially when they're told in the real, old-fashioned spirit."
"Yes," said Strawberry, "Conviction, that's what it needs. You really have to believe in El-ahrairah and Prince Rainbow, don't you? Then all the rest follows."I think of that when I see secular audiences so excited about gospel music. I wonder if they are getting the message or just looking at specimens. I strongly suspect the latter. Not just the judges, but the audience as well. Do they hear praise, or just that old, authentic style?
I worry that for the singers as well. It's so easy to lose one's way.

Indeed, to them you are nothing more than one who sings love songs with a beautiful voice and plays an instrument well, for they hear your words but do not put them into practice.
That's what Simon Cowell does, I hear.
Don't watch him; don't know.
But then, what's a secular audience? Do you think none of those people go to church?
