"...and so they gave him the monastery robes and a rope to tie around his waist, and told him that if he should feel as though he's being overcome by the temptation again, he should ring the monastery bell, and that the brethren, upon hearing the bell, shall go to prayer and pray for his soul as one and shall not let the devil have it.

And so he put on the robes, but, for he was still the same man underneath them, the bell rang day and night, and the brethren, upon hearing the bell, would go in rows to the chapel, and pray day and night for their brother's salvation..."
