Dear Brother Ben, also in one of the articles in The Christ Review, J. B. Jetter reviewed Wayland's Principles and Practices of Baptist Churches. Jeter took Wayland to task over the instrumental question, though in a nice way. Wayland being a Nrother Baptist, favored the new innovations which would help close the gap between the Baptists and the pedobaptists. In the 1600s Baptist writers such as Thomas Dulaney, Keach's friend and co-workder, considered the organ as a part of the mark of the beast. Baptist have slipped quite way since the American Civil War.
