   Eastern Church \Eastern Church\
      That portion of the Christian church which prevails in the
      countries once comprised in the Eastern Roman Empire and the
      countries converted to Christianity by missionaries from
      them. Its full official title is {The Orthodox Catholic
      Apostolic Eastern Church}. It became estranged from the
      Western, or Roman, Church over the question of papal
      supremacy and the doctrine of the filioque, and a separation,
      begun in the latter part of the 9th century, became final in
      1054. The Eastern Church consists of twelve (thirteen if the
      Bulgarian Church be included) mutually independent churches
      (including among these the Hellenic Church, or Church of
      Greece, and the Russian Church), using the vernacular (or
      some ancient form of it) in divine service and varying in
      many points of detail, but standing in full communion with
      each other and united as equals in a great federation. The
      highest five authorities are the patriarch of Constantinople,
      or ecumenical patriarch (whose position is not one of
      supremacy, but of precedence), the patriarch of Alexandria,
      the patriarch of Jerusalem, the patriarch of Antioch, and the
      Holy Synod of Russia. The Eastern Church accepts the first

   Equatorial \E`qua*to"ri*al\, n. (Astron.)
      An instrument consisting of a telescope so mounted as to have

      An optical instrument used in viewing distant objects, as the
      heavenly bodies.
  
      Note: A telescope assists the eye chiefly in two ways; first,
               by enlarging the visual angle under which a distant
               object is seen, and thus magnifying that object; and,
               secondly, by collecting, and conveying to the eye, a
               larger beam of light than would enter the naked organ,
               thus rendering objects distinct and visible which would
               otherwise be indistinct and or invisible. Its essential
               parts are the object glass, or concave mirror, which
               collects the beam of light, and forms an image of the
               object, and the eyeglass, which is a microscope, by

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Easter
      originally a Saxon word (Eostre), denoting a goddess of the
      Saxons, in honour of whom sacrifices were offered about the time
      of the Passover. Hence the name came to be given to the festival
      of the Resurrection of Christ, which occured at the time of the
      Passover. In the early English versions this word was frequently
      used as the translation of the Greek pascha (the Passover). When
      the Authorized Version (1611) was formed, the word "passover"
      was used in all passages in which this word pascha occurred,
      except in Act 12:4. In the Revised Version the proper word,
      "passover," is always used.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Esdraelon
      the Greek form of the Hebrew "Jezreel," the name of the great
      plain (called by the natives Merj Ibn Amer; i.e., "the meadow of
      the son of Amer") which stretches across Central Palestine from
      the Jordan to the Mediterraanean, separating the mountain ranges
      of Carmel and Samaria from those of Galilee, extending about 14
      miles from north to south, and 9 miles from east to west. It is
      drained by "that ancient river" the Kishon, which flows westward
      to the Mediterranean. From the foot of Mount Tabor it branches
      out into three valleys, that on the north passing between Tabor
      and Little Hermon (Judg. 4:14); that on the south between Mount
      Gilboa and En-gannim (2 Kings 9:27); while the central portion,
      the "valley of Jezreel" proper, runs into the Jordan valley
      (which is about 1,000 feet lower than Esdraelon) by Bethshean.
      Here Gideon gained his great victory over the Midianites (Judg.
      7:1-25). Here also Barak defeated Sisera, and Saul's army was
      defeated by the Philistines, and king Josiah, while fighting in
      disguise against Necho, king of Egypt, was slain (2 Chr.
      35:20-27; 2 Kings 23-29). This plain has been well called the
      "battle-field of Palestine." "It has been a chosen place for
      encampment in every contest carried on in this country, from the
      days of Nebuchadnezzar, king of the Assyrians, in the history of
      whose wars with Arphaxad it is mentioned as the Great Plain of
      Esdraelon, until the disastrous march of Napoleon Bonaparte from
      Egypt into Syria. Jews, Gentiles, Saracens, Crusaders,
      Frenchmen, Egyptians, Persians, Druses, Turks, and Arabs,
      warriors out of every nation which is under heaven, have pitched
      their tents in the plain, and have beheld the various banners of
      their nations wet with the dews of Tabor and Hermon" (Dr.
      Clark).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Esther
      the queen of Ahasuerus, and heroine of the book that bears her
      name. She was a Jewess named Hadas'sah (the myrtle), but when
      she entered the royal harem she received the name by which she
      henceforth became known (Esther 2:7). It is a Syro-Arabian
      modification of the Persian word satarah, which means a star.
      She was the daughter of Abihail, a Benjamite. Her family did not
      avail themselves of the permission granted by Cyrus to the
      exiles to return to Jerusalem; and she resided with her cousin
      Mordecai, who held some office in the household of the Persian
      king at "Shushan in the palace." Ahasuerus having divorced
      Vashti, chose Esther to be his wife. Soon after this he gave
      Haman the Agagite, his prime minister, power and authority to
      kill and extirpate all the Jews throughout the Persian empire.
      By the interposition of Esther this terrible catastrophe was
      averted. Haman was hanged on the gallows he had intended for
      Mordecai (Esther 7); and the Jews established an annual feast,
      the feast of Purim (q.v.), in memory of their wonderful
      deliverance. This took place about fifty-two years after the
      Return, the year of the great battles of Plataea and Mycale
      (B.C. 479).
     
         Esther appears in the Bible as a "woman of deep piety, faith,
      courage, patriotism, and caution, combined with resolution; a
      dutiful daughter to her adopted father, docile and obedient to
      his counsels, and anxious to share the king's favour with him
      for the good of the Jewish people. There must have been a
      singular grace and charm in her aspect and manners, since 'she
      obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her'
      (Esther 2:15). That she was raised up as an instrument in the
      hand of God to avert the destruction of the Jewish people, and
      to afford them protection and forward their wealth and peace in
      their captivity, is also manifest from the Scripture account."
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Esther, Book of
      The authorship of this book is unknown. It must have been
      obviously written after the death of Ahasuerus (the Xerxes of
      the Greeks), which took place B.C. 465. The minute and
      particular account also given of many historical details makes
      it probable that the writer was contemporary with Mordecai and
      Esther. Hence we may conclude that the book was written probably
      about B.C. 444-434, and that the author was one of the Jews of
      the dispersion.
     
         This book is more purely historical than any other book of
      Scripture; and it has this remarkable peculiarity that the name
      of God does not occur in it from first to last in any form. It
      has, however, been well observed that "though the name of God be
      not in it, his finger is." The book wonderfully exhibits the
      providential government of God.

   Economy
  
   Overview: Ecuador has substantial oil resources and rich agricultural
   areas. Growth has been uneven in recent years because of fluctuations
   in prices for Ecuador's primary exports - oil and bananas - as well as
   because of government policies designed to curb inflation. President
   Sixto DURAN-BALLEN launched a series of macroeconomic reforms when he
   came into office in August 1992 which included raising domestic fuel
   prices and utility rates, eliminating most subsidies, and bringing the
   government budget into balance. These measures helped to reduce
   inflation from 55% in 1992 to 25% in 1994. DURAN-BALLEN has a much
   more favorable attitude toward foreign investment than his predecessor
   and has supported several laws designed to encourage foreign
   investment. Ecuador has implemented free or complementary trade
   agreements with Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela, as well
   as applied for World Trade Organization membership. Ecuador signed a
   standby agreement with the IMF and rescheduled its $7.6 billion
   commercial debt in 1994 thereby regaining access to multilateral
   lending. Growth in 1994 speeded up to 3.9%, based on increased exports
   of bananas and non-traditional products, while international reserves
   increased to a record $1.6 billion.

   Economy
  
   Overview: Agriculture, forestry, and fishing account for about half of
   GDP and nearly all exports. Subsistence farming predominates. Although
   pre-independence Equatorial Guinea counted on cocoa production for
   hard currency earnings, the deterioration of the rural economy under
   successive brutal regimes has diminished potential for agriculture-led
   growth. A number of aid programs sponsored by the World Bank and the
   international donor community have failed to revitalize export
   agriculture. Businesses for the most part are owned by government
   officials and their family members. Commerce accounts for about 8% of
   GDP and the construction, public works, and service sectors for about
   38%. Undeveloped natural resources include titanium, iron ore,
   manganese, uranium, and alluvial gold. Oil exploration, taking place
   under concessions offered to US, French, and Spanish firms, has been
   moderately successful. Increased production from recently discovered
   natural gas fields will provide a greater share of exports in 1995.
