The words "bishop" and "presbyter" were sometimes used in an interchangeable way, such as in Titus 1:5-6.

Great Depression In The United States
In the United States, the Great Depression began with the Wall Street Crash of October 1929 and then spread worldwide. The nadir came in 1931–1933, and recovery came in 1940.
