      sign, standard, banner, also fr. L. signum. Cf. {Ensign},
      {Resign}, {Seal} a stamp, {Signal}, {Signet}.]
      That by which anything is made known or represented; that
      which furnishes evidence; a mark; a token; an indication; a

            represents, an idea; a type; hence, sometimes, a picture.
  
                     The holy symbols, or signs, are not barely
                     significative; but what they represent is as
                     certainly delivered to us as the symbols

            of a signs such as those used by the North American

      Note: Educaters of the deaf distinguish between natural
               signs, which serve for communicating ideas, and
               methodical, or systematic, signs, adapted for the
               dictation, or the rendering, of written language, word
               by word; and thus the signs are to be distinguished
               from the manual alphabet, by which words are spelled on

      (j) (Astron.) The twelfth part of the ecliptic or zodiac.
  
      Note: The signs are reckoned from the point of intersection
               of the ecliptic and equator at the vernal equinox, and

               ([Taurus]), {Gemini} (II), {Cancer} ([Cancer]), {Leo}
               ([Leo]), {Virgo} ([Virgo]), {Libra} ([Libra]),
               {Scorpio} ([Scorpio]), {Sagittarius} ([Sagittarius]),
               {Capricornus   ([Capricorn]), {Aquarius} ([Aquarius]),
               {Pisces} ([Pisces]). These names were originally the
               names of the constellations occupying severally the
               divisions of the zodiac, by which they are still
               retained; but, in consequence of the procession of the
               equinoxes, the signs have, in process of time, become
               separated about 30 degrees from these constellations,
               and each of the latter now lies in the sign next in
               advance, or to the east of the one which bears its
               name, as the constellation Aries in the sign Taurus,
               etc.

      (l) (Med.) An objective evidence of disease; that is, one
            appreciable by some one other than the patient.
  
      Note: The terms symptom and and sign are often used
               synonymously; but they may be discriminated. A sign
               differs from a symptom in that the latter is perceived
               only by the patient himself. The term sign is often
               further restricted to the purely local evidences of
               disease afforded by direct examination of the organs
               involved, as distinguished from those evidence of
               general disturbance afforded by observation of the
               temperature, pulse, etc. In this sense it is often
               called physical sign.
      (m) (Mus.) Any character, as a flat, sharp, dot, etc.
      (n) (Theol.) That which, being external, stands for, or
            signifies, something internal or spiritual; -- a term

      (a) (Eng. Law) The royal signature superscribed at the top of
            bills of grants and letter patent, which are then sealed
            with the privy signet or great seal, as the case may be,
            to complete their validity.
      (b) The signature of one's name in one's own handwriting.

            (a) The fourth of the twelve signs of the zodiac. The
                  first point is the northern limit of the sun's course

      3. (Med.) Formerly, any malignant growth, esp. one attended
            with great pain and ulceration, with cachexia and
            progressive emaciation. It was so called, perhaps, from
            the great veins which surround it, compared by the

               cancer, or Epithelioma}, in which there is no
               trabecular framework. See {Epithelioma}. (2) {Scirrhous
               cancer, or Hard cancer}, in which the framework
               predominates, and the tumor is of hard consistence and
               slow growth. (3) {Encephaloid, Medullary, [or] Soft
               cancer}, in which the cellular element predominates,
               and the tumor is soft, grows rapidy, and often
               ulcerates. (4) {Colloid cancer}, in which the cancerous
               structure becomes gelatinous. The last three varieties

   Chancery \Chan"cer*y\, n. [F. chancellerie, LL. cancellaria,
      from L. cancellarius. See {Chancellor}, and cf.
      {Chancellery}.]
      1. In England, formerly, the highest court of judicature next
            to the Parliament, exercising jurisdiction at law, but
            chiefly in equity; but under the jurisdiction act of 1873
            it became the chancery division of the High Court of
            Justice, and now exercises jurisdiction only in equity.
  
      2. In the Unites States, a court of equity; equity;
            proceeding in equity.
  
      Note: A court of chancery, so far as it is a court of equity,
               in the English and American sense, may be generally, if
               not precisely, described as one having jurisdiction in
               cases of rights, recognized and protected by the
               municipal jurisprudence, where a plain, adequate, and
               complete remedy can not be had in the courts of common
               law. In some of the American States, jurisdiction at
               law and in equity centers in the same tribunal. The
               courts of the United States also have jurisdiction both
               at law and in equity, and in all such cases they
               exercise their jurisdiction, as courts of law, or as
               courts of equity, as the subject of adjudication may
               require. In others of the American States, the courts
               that administer equity are distinct tribunals, having
               their appropriate judicial officers, and it is to the
               latter that the appellation courts of chancery is
               usually applied; but, in American law, the terms equity
               and court of equity are more frequently employed than
               the corresponding terms chancery and court of chancery.
               --Burrill.

            while the lawyers lived upon his estate.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Concrete \Con"crete\ (? [or] ?), a. [L. concretus, p. p. of
      concrescere to grow together; con- + crescere to grow; cf. F.
      concret. See {Crescent}.]
      1. United in growth; hence, formed by coalition of separate
            particles into one mass; united in a solid form.
  
                     The first concrete state, or consistent surface, of
                     the chaos must be of the same figure as the last
                     liquid state.                                    --Bp. Burnet.
  
      2. (Logic)
            (a) Standing for an object as it exists in nature,
                  invested with all its qualities, as distinguished from
                  standing for an attribute of an object; -- opposed to
                  {abstract}. Hence:
            (b) Applied to a specific object; special; particular; --
                  opposed to {general}. See {Abstract}, 3.
  
                           Concrete is opposed to abstract. The names of
                           individuals are concrete, those of classes
                           abstract.                                    --J. S. Mill.
  
                           Concrete terms, while they express the quality,
                           do also express, or imply, or refer to, some
                           subject to which it belongs.         --I. Watts.
  
      {Concrete number}, a number associated with, or applied to, a
            particular object, as three men, five days, etc., as
            distinguished from an abstract number, or one used without
            reference to a particular object.
  
      {Concrete quantity}, a physical object or a collection of
            such objects. --Davies & Peck.

      {To congratulate one's self}, to rejoice; to feel
            satisfaction; to consider one's self happy or fortunate.
  
      Syn: {To Congratulate}, {Felicitate}.
  
      Usage: To felicitate is simply to wish a person joy. To
                  congratulate has the additional signification of
                  uniting in the joy of him whom we congratulate. Hence
                  they are by no means synonymous. One who has lost the
                  object of his affections by her marriage to a rival,
                  might perhaps felicitate that rival on his success,
                  but could never be expected to congratulate him on
                  such an event.
  
                           Felicitations are little better than
                           compliments; congratulations are the expression

      {To congratulate one's self}, to rejoice; to feel
            satisfaction; to consider one's self happy or fortunate.
  
      Syn: {To Congratulate}, {Felicitate}.
  
      Usage: To felicitate is simply to wish a person joy. To
                  congratulate has the additional signification of
                  uniting in the joy of him whom we congratulate. Hence
                  they are by no means synonymous. One who has lost the
                  object of his affections by her marriage to a rival,
                  might perhaps felicitate that rival on his success,
                  but could never be expected to congratulate him on
                  such an event.
  
                           Felicitations are little better than
                           compliments; congratulations are the expression
                           of a genuine sympathy and joy.      --Trench.

   Concurrent Euclid
  
      A concurrent extension of a subset of {Euclid} ("{Simple
      Euclid}") developed by J.R. Cordy and R.C. Holt of the
      {University of Toronto} in 1980.
  
      It features {separate compilation}, {modules}, processes and
      {monitor}s, {signal} and {wait} on {condition variable}s,
      'converters' to defeat {strong type checking}, absolute
      addresses.   All procedures and functions are {re-entrant}.
      {TUNIS} (a {Unix}-like {operating system}) is written in
      Concurrent Euclid.

   Concurrent ML
  
      (CML) A {concurrent} extension of {SML/NJ} written
      by J. Reppy at {Cornell University} in 1990.   CML supports
      dynamic {thread} creation and synchronous {message passing} on
      typed channels.   Threads are implemented using first-class
      {continuations}.   First-class synchronous operations allow
      users to tailor their synchronisation abstractions for their
      application.   CML also supports both {stream I/O} and
      low-level I/O in an integrated fashion.
  
      Latest version: 0.9.8, as of 1994-12-21, requires SML/NJ 0.75

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Canker
      a gangrene or mortification which gradually spreads over the
      whole body (2 Tim. 2:17). In James 5:3 "cankered" means "rusted"
      (R.V.) or tarnished.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Cankerworm
      (Heb. yelek), "the licking locust," which licks up the grass of
      the field; probably the locust at a certain stage of its growth,
      just as it emerges from the caterpillar state (Joel 1:4; 2:25).
      The word is rendered "caterpillar" in Ps. 105:34; Jer. 51:14, 17
      (but R.V. "canker-worm"). "It spoileth and fleeth away" (Nah.
      3:16), or as some read the passage, "The cankerworm putteth off
      [i.e., the envelope of its wings], and fleeth away."
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Cenchrea
      millet, the eastern harbour of Corinth, from which it was
      distant about 9 miles east, and the outlet for its trade with
      the Asiatic shores of the Mediterranean. When Paul returned from
      his second missionary journey to Syria, he sailed from this port
      (Acts 18:18). In Rom. 16:1 he speaks as if there were at the
      time of his writing that epistle an organized church there. The
      western harbour of Corinth was Lechaeum, about a mile and a half
      from the city. It was the channel of its trade with Italy and
      the west.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Censer
      the vessel in which incense was presented on "the golden altar"
      before the Lord in the temple (Ex. 30:1-9). The priest filled
      the censer with live coal from the sacred fire on the altar of
      burnt-offering, and having carried it into the sanctuary, there
      threw upon the burning coals the sweet incense (Lev. 16:12, 13),
      which sent up a cloud of smoke, filling the apartment with
      fragrance. The censers in daily use were of brass (Num. 16:39),
      and were designated by a different Hebrew name, _miktereth_ (2
      Chr. 26:19; Ezek. 8:11): while those used on the day of
      Atonement were of gold, and were denoted by a word (mahtah)
      meaning "something to take fire with;" LXX. pureion = a
      fire-pan. Solomon prepared for the temple censers of pure gold
      (1 Kings 7:50; 2 Chr. 4:22). The angel in the Apocalypse is
      represented with a golden censer (Rev. 8:3, 5). Paul speaks of
      the golden censer as belonging to the tabernacle (Heb. 9:4). The
      Greek word thumiaterion, here rendered "censer," may more
      appropriately denote, as in the margin of Revised Version, "the
      altar of incense." Paul does not here say that the thumiaterion
      was in the holiest, for it was in the holy place, but that the
      holiest had it, i.e., that it belonged to the holiest (1 Kings
      6:22). It was intimately connected with the high priest's
      service in the holiest.
     
         The manner in which the censer is to be used is described in
      Num. 4:14; Lev. 16:12.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Congregation
      (Heb. kahal), the Hebrew people collectively as a holy community
      (Num. 15:15). Every circumcised Hebrew from twenty years old and
      upward was a member of the congregation. Strangers resident in
      the land, if circumcised, were, with certain exceptions (Ex.
      12:19; Num. 9:14; Deut. 23:1-3), admitted to the privileges of
      citizenship, and spoken of as members of the congregation (Ex.
      12:19; Num. 9:14; 15:15). The congregation were summonded
      together by the sound of two silver trumpets, and they met at
      the door of the tabernacle (Num. 10:3). These assemblies were
      convened for the purpose of engaging in solemn religious
      services (Ex. 12:27; Num. 25:6; Joel 2:15), or of receiving new
      commandments (Ex. 19:7, 8). The elders, who were summonded by
      the sound of one trumpet (Num. 10:4), represented on various
      occasions the whole congregation (Ex. 3:16; 12:21; 17:5; 24:1).
     
         After the conquest of Canaan, the people were assembled only
      on occasions of the highest national importance (Judg. 20; 2
      Chr. 30:5; 34:29; 1 Sam. 10:17; 2 Sam. 5:1-5; 1 Kings 12:20; 2
      Kings 11:19; 21:24; 23:30). In subsequent times the congregation
      was represented by the Sanhedrim; and the name synagogue,
      applied in the Septuagint version exclusively to the
      congregation, came to be used to denote the places of worship
      established by the Jews. (See {CHURCH}.)
     
         In Acts 13:43, where alone it occurs in the New Testament, it
      is the same word as that rendered "synagogue" (q.v.) in ver. 42,
      and is so rendered in ver. 43 in R.V.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Congregation, mount of the
      (Isa. 14:13), has been supposed to refer to the place where God
      promised to meet with his people (Ex. 25:22; 29:42, 43) i.e.,
      the mount of the Divine presence, Mount Zion. But here the king
      of Babylon must be taken as expressing himself according to his
      own heathen notions, and not according to those of the Jews. The
      "mount of the congregation" will therefore in this case mean the
      northern mountain, supposed by the Babylonians to be the
      meeting-place of their gods. In the Babylonian inscriptions
      mention is made of a mountain which is described as "the mighty
      mountain of Bel, whose head rivals heaven, whose root is the
      holy deep." This mountain was regarded in their mythology as the
      place where the gods had their seat.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Cenchrea, millet; small pulse
