Different Shades Of Calvinism
This article was written for the Earthen Vessel in the year 1909, the author unknown. However, there is a reference at the end which leads me to believe William Styles was the writer. His views, generally speaking, were representative of the Strict and Particular Baptist denomination at the time.

These churches and organizations were Hyper-Calvinists by creed and conviction.
