From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Eben-ezer       stone of help, the memorial stone set up by Samuel to       commemorate the divine assistance to Israel in their great       battle against the Philistines, whom they totally routed (1 Sam.       7:7-12) at Aphek, in the neighbourhood of Mizpeh, in Benjamin,       near the western entrance of the pass of Beth-horon. On this       very battle-field, twenty years before, the Philistines routed       the Israelites, "and slew of the army in the field about four       thousand men" (4:1,2; here, and at 5:1, called "Eben-ezer" by       anticipation). In this extremity the Israelites fetched the ark       out of Shiloh and carried it into their camp. The Philistines a       second time immediately attacked them, and smote them with a       very great slaughter, "for there fell of Israel thirty thousand       footmen. And the ark of God was taken" (1 Sam. 4:10). And now in       the same place the Philistines are vanquished, and the memorial       stone is erected by Samuel (q.v.). The spot where the stone was       erected was somewhere "between Mizpeh and Shen." Some have       identified it with the modern Beit Iksa, a conspicuous and       prominent position, apparently answering all the necessary       conditions; others with Dier Aban, 3 miles east of 'Ain Shems.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Evangelist       a "publisher of glad tidings;" a missionary preacher of the       gospel (Eph. 4:11). This title is applied to Philip (Acts 21:8),       who appears to have gone from city to city preaching the word       (8:4, 40). Judging from the case of Philip, evangelists had       neither the authority of an apostle, nor the gift of prophecy,       nor the responsibility of pastoral supervision over a portion of       the flock. They were itinerant preachers, having it as their       special function to carry the gospel to places where it was       previously unknown. The writers of the four Gospels are known as       the Evangelists.
