A plan was formulated by a MstoriMl -committee, organised at Dallas, whifch pro- vided that each pastor should collect and have re-corded in his church conference minutes the history of his 'own local church each elder ; presiding should collect and put upon his district conference minutes the history of his district the of conference ; and secretary each annual was requested to collect and place iii Ms records the history of his conference. The plan was an admirable one ; but, lifee all previous plans set on foot for collecting and pre- serving our history, it met with but little response.

EAST TEXAS HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION II THE WAR AND PEACE PARTIES OF PRE-REVOLUTIONARY TEXAS, 1832-1835 by lodella D. Kite Although many people are conversant with the Texas Revolution and events leading to it, relatively little research has been published until recently on the War and Peace parties of 1832-1835. These two factions within the Anglo-American population of Texas helped to sway public opinion both for and against armed conflict in the crucial days leading to the revolution. The War and Peace parties cannot be defined easily because they were not established political parties. They were labels faT persons of opposing political dispositions. Both factions surfaced during the disturbances of 1832. Members of the War Party either participated in the disturbances or condoned them.
