Biography

Cullis was born in Boston, Massachusetts on March 7, 1833. He suffered from ill health, and although this meant that he was sometimes not able to attend school, he studied medicine at home and graduated from the University of Vermont at age 24.

It was common practice at the time to turn away incurable cases such as tuberculosis from hospitals, Cullis was influenced by Dorothea Trudel's healing ministry. He was a leading figure in the faith cure movement along with other preachers such as William E. Boardman and Albert B. Simpson. He held revival meetings in New Hampshire and Maine every year.

He helped encourage rest homes for the sick and homeless, and about twenty-five such homes connected with the Holiness Movement had been started by 1887. At the height of his ministry he authored a number of books on healing.
