thousands of angels from the courts of heaven? Then the earth shall
reel to and fro like a drunkard, and be removed as a cottage. The
elements shall be in flames, and the heavens shall be rolled together
as a scroll (

17. Doubt Closes Door to Blessings
—But some doubted. So
it will ever be. There are those who find it hard to exercise faith,
and they place themselves on the doubting side. These lose much
because of their unbelief. If they would control their feelings, and
refuse to allow doubt to bring a shadow over their own minds and
the minds of others, how much happier and more helpful they would
be. They close the door to many blessings that they might enjoy
if they would refuse to place themselves on the doubting side, and
would, instead, talk hope and courage (
Letter 115, 1904
).

by their baptismal vows have entered into a covenant with God
