We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; in deed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul ... if there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

Ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith.Ether 12: 6

Faith is things which are hoped for and not seen: wherefore dispute not because ye see not, for Y For it was by faith that Christ showed himself unto our fathers after he had risen from the dead: and he showed not himself unto them until after they had faith in him: wherefore, it must needs be that some had faith in him, for he showed himself not unto the world. Ether 12:6-7" Remember in the Bible where Christ would heal someone?  Sometimes he would say, go and tell others what has been done. Other times he would say, tell no man. Was it then because of the unbelief and lack of faith of that person's friends? If someone had the faith to be healed and they told a non believer they would be laughed at and scorned. Would not the person being healed begin to doubt. Not always but the Lord would know.
I have seen it happen where a person has been healed and then begin to doubt and the problem returned. Of course if the person did not have sufficient faith to endure Satan would then say, you were not really healed at all were you? It would be worse than if they were never healed at all.
