Pastor Poland came to Queensland in July, 1888 by the steamer Dorunda, and joined the Rev. Mr. Schwarz in mission work to the blacks at the Cape Bedford station, north of Cooktown. Twenty eight years ago he left the mis sion station to accept a Lutheran pastorate at Cooktown." but the Cooktown Post advised Pastor Poland, of Toowoomba, is in town at present and is the guest of Rev. and Mrs. G. H. Schwarz. Pastor Poland was one of the pioneers of the Hope Valley Mission at Cape Bedford and was there a few years before the advent of Rev. Schwarz, the present superintendent, who came to the mission 51 years ago. Pastor Poland left Cooktown about 28 years ago to take charge of a Lutheran parish in the Toowoomba district and is making his first visit here in that time. He will leave Cooktown on Monday and will stay at Port Douglas for a while to visit an old friend, Mr. Neilsen. before continuing on to his home Pastor Poland is very keen on flying and his trip north was made by plane all the way from Toowoomba and his return will be by the same medium of travel. Next year Pastor Poland intends to pay a visit to the New Guinea fields of the Lutheran Mission and will fly on that occasion also. The old gentleman is very much shocked at the present condition of Cooktown when he compares it with the town as he saw it last. He is very pleased with the progress and improvements made on the mission at Cape Bedford and still takes a keen interest in the doings of his former charge."
