“You heard thuh testimony here; how this young man was in his kitchen cookin’ and how that I come on thuh radio preachin’ thuh Gospel, and how that God slayed him for two hours on thuh floor, amen, and he got saved through this radio ministry. It costs me over $200 evvy Sunday night f’me t’come your way. Why not sit down this week and send me an offerin’? Send me a check, a good check, amen. And address it to Reverend Leon Hatten, h-a-t-t-e-n, amen. Now I’ll say that one more time, H-A-T-T-E-N.”
