The significance of the expression
can be comprehended when it is noted
that it is taken from the Book of Job
(xfx.20) probably the most ancient
part of the Old Testament, where it
was first used.
Job finding his wife turned against
him, having lost his children, his

So, the phrase indicated originally

Explaining that he had been "im-

Michigan has lost much of its novelty

Monroe, Mich, near the Ohio border,
