3. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
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.
   

4. The Devil's Dictionary (1881-1906)
EVANGELIST, n.  A bearer of good tidings, particularly (in a religious
sense) such as assure us of our own salvation and the damnation of
our neighbors.
